“ We have been enjoying the food at Upstream Cafe since it's Grand Opening. Since then, we have brought our family, friends and business associates to eat there and they all LOVED the food. Maria and I planned our wedding this month and thought it would be a great idea to have Upstream cater one of the meals -- all our friends and family were excited about having "Upstream" as part of our weekend menu. We ordered rice and peas, oxtails and stewed chicken; it was a big hit— Our family and friends could not get enough, they LOVED the food!!! Chef Garfield put his culinary skills deep up in that meal. Also, our catering order was ready on time and the total transaction was smooth and easy. If you are looking for exceptional food at a great price, in a welcoming atmosphere, check out UpSteam Cafe, you will not be disappointed. Ernest Henry Common Council member, Poughkeepsie New York. ”
“ Chanced upon this Jamaican cafe whilst looking for lunch at Poughkeepsie, and we had a delightful experience. We ordered the stew chicken meal, shrimp rasta pasta, and soup - all three were absolutely delicious. Very friendly service by Ashley. It’s by far, the best meal we had since arriving in NY. Highly recommended ”
“ No lie BEST FRIED CHICKEN EVER!!! It’s moist, flaky and very seasoned. They know how to cook for sure!! Only 8.50 for a platter. That’s crazy in this economy. I’m going back again today!! ”
“ The family that runs this cafe is very friendly and welcoming. My partner and I ordered the Jerk Chicken Wrap and the Chicken Caesar Salad and both were really delicious. The jerk chicken they use is really flavorful and tender, with a mild-medium spiciness. We also ordered a Kiwi Lemonade and a fresh Sorrel Ginger juice and both were extremely tasty and refreshing. The juice was especially unique, with a bit of that fresh ginger burn that can be really difficult to find in ginger beverages. All in all, I will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in the area! ”
“ My family came here to move my sister into CIA and it was a great welcoming atmosphere. The menu was amazing and the food was great as well. Very kind people, highly recommend. ”
