So lucky to have this place in town. The owner is amazing and the food matches. Awesome sandwiches and the baked goods are out of this world. Maybe the best chocolate chip cookie in poughkeepsie!

Best cornmeal-seasoned fish I've ever had, well-tempered with creamy grits and a bit of hot sauce. Decent medium-roast coffee also. Huge space, lots of room!

Delicious food, good vibes, and a friendly face! The food was delicious and cupcakes were out if this world. Come support a local small business owner! Will definitely be back again!

Went here for the first time and it did not disappoint. The breakfast and cupcakes were amazing and Jenay (Owner) was super sweet. The interior of the establishment is also very pleasing with a rustic/industrial feel with some Poughkeepsie flare.
Went for breakfast today and everything was amazing, from the food to the service!!! The breakfast sandwich on a homemade kaiser roll was absolutely delicious as were the loaded tots! Coffee was great as well. On the way out I picked up some homemade baked goods and they were quite amazing! Please support this new small business in Poughkeepsie. They deserve your support.

Ran out of a featured menu item on the weekend. No signage out front so no way to tell where the restaurant is or if it's even open. Not a great start for a restaurant that just opened. Disappointed.

I brought my daughter for one of Jenay's baking classes. We made a gingerbread house. Jenay was great with all the kids and her "little helpers" assisted the smaller kids and helped us all during the process. Every child in attendance had multiple chances to participate and everything was well-organized. They plan to open their café next month (Jan 2023) offering coffees, teas, sandwiches and pastries, of course. Jenay is using the space to provide baking classes for kids AND adults, including an upcoming Black Panther cake class for the kiddos and a Cake & Sip Beyoncé-themed cake class for the adults. She provides snacks, bevvies and entertainment for the events and it's a very cute set up. Currently, she is also operating as an online bakery so you're able to order her tasty creations and pick up in person. Definitely look out for her upcoming NYC-style brunches with bottomless mimosas, music and brekkie!

My girlfriend lives in the area and invited me to bring my Little along for a kiddie gingerbread house baking class. We're taking a break from homeschooling for the holidays but I want to make sure that she does plenty of activities in her free time. Purchasing her spot for the class was easy and can be done on the business website. The classes are normally held on Sundays but this one in particular, was on a Friday, since the kids are out of school.Upon arrival, I scored parking right in front. There is plenty of street parking as they are located on a pretty busy shopping area street. The owner, Jenay, greeted us upon arrival. She directed us to hang up our coats and get comfy. They have a huge shared space. This is a woman-owned business and Jenay is currently using her space for various classes as she prepares to open her café next month. She also offers baked good via her online bakery, making items that can be picked up at this location. She has some interesting events coming up, including both Encanto and Black Panther cake classes for the kiddos, as well as a Cake and Sip Queen Bey class for adults.Once everyone arrived for the class, she provided each child with an apron. The kids will get personalized aprons with their names on them, along with baker's hats. She had a small issue with her custom order and will send us all our swag directly, but did have back-up aprons that worked well. After donning their aprons, the kids washed their hands and then we all headed to the kitchen.Some pastry dough needs to be prepared and chilled for some time before handling, but Jenay had pre-made dough all ready for the kids. She did prepare one batch of dough in real-time, with the help of every child, to show them how to follow a recipe and read the ingredients. I liked that she took the time to give each kid some one on one attention. My kid was the only girl, super reserved, and the boys were very active, but Jenay made sure she got involved and was able to enjoy the experience as well. She did a very good job bringing my kiddo out of her shell.After mixing some dough we all went to our stations to roll out the dough. Jenay demonstrated first and then the kids followed suit, with the help of the adults. We cut out the gingerbread house pieces and put them on our trays, placing them in the oven. During the break while we waited for them to bake, the kids were given cookies, brownies and cocoa. The parents were offered beverages as well, which I thought was nice. We listened to Christmas music and watched Christmas shows on a projector. It's a very cute setup.When the house pieces were all ready and cooled, Jenay helped the kids construct the houses and then we set off to our individual stations to decorate. We had all kinds of candy, along with icing already prepared in a piping bag. The kids were able to be heavily involved in decorating their houses, eating the candy and socializing. When we were all done, Jenay helped us to pack up our houses for transport.This is a great event to take the kiddies to or to even attend yourself. I look forward to visiting the café once it opens. She will offer coffee, teas, pastries and sandwiches. Jenay also mentioned that she would be bringing a NYC style brunch set-up to the space on Sundays with music and a bartender, so definitely keep a lookout for that.
