Caffe Aurora

There heyday has been over for years

Excellent Italian cafe with pastries baked on-site. Great place to meet a friend and talk over a coffee or espresso and a croissant or Italian cookies. Off street parking.This business is currently for sale. Hopefully they'll find a buyer who'll continue the same style business.

Cappuccino tasted like hot milk. Stale baked goods. Very disappointed.

Great place coffee, ice cream, cakes , anything you want.

This place is historic I remember my coming her when I was a child I've been coming here for 30 years and my mother longer. It has that old world feel.Great bakery friendly staff

The absolute best cakes. I've had a birthday cake from here every year for 37 years. Never been disappointed.

I ordered an itchy bitty spider theme bday cake for my 2 year grandson. It was unbelievable tasty and a marvelous design! . The price was incredibly inexpensive..great place. !! We leave it

amazing cafe mocha loved the ambience

One of my TO GO TO places.

Perfect place for a cappuccino!

Delicious are the large cookies with the black dot in the middle, easy to taste the high quality of the ingredients.Their cookies are so enjoyable, that they make you realize how disgusting and artificial the garbage that the Stop and Shop bakery sells. Reading the ingredients of most supermarket bakeries products, is similar to reading the side of a paint can.Go Aurora Go!!!

What a great bakery we always enjoy stopping there getting fresh cappuccino and fresh cannolis

For real Italian yummies.. OMG.

Regular & chocolate cannoli plus some raspberry “pinchers” with some fresh hot coffee. Delicious, and friendly lady behind the counter.

My go-to place for an expresso and fresh pastries. It's got a great old time vibe. OytdOut seating for the nice days.

Excellent pastries and cookies..was there to pick up my annual St. Giuseppe pastry. Delicious. Enjoy

I grew up going to this place with my father, especially on those hot summer days when a homemade Italian ice was a must! Living in Ohio now, I have missed going here greatly. I recently made a visit back to my hometown to share this experience with my partner and made sure to go here. Sadly, I learned that Caffe Aurora is for sale and will be closing regardless by the end of 2019. During my final visit, I got an Italian ice, which was a mix of pear and cantaloupe. It was amazing as always, and oh, I had to get a few homemade pastries to go too! I honestly can't believe I will never be able to enjoy Caffe Aurora again, but it will be remembered fondly for the rest of my life, notably for all those visits my father and I shared together week in and week out.

Great service. Great prices. Quality, unique cakes and Italian pastries.

been going there for over29 years and now you leaving us ,,,,where are we surpose to buy our cakes

dear friends at cafe' aroura..HAPPY EASTER GREETINGS!it has saddened me greatly to hear that closeing this wonderful italian bakery & sweet shop is closeing!!!!!PLEASE SAY IT ISNOT SO...for over 50 + years.. you have been a part of our life in the poughkeepsie area ..igood times and bad..IT has been a complete pleasure to have such a wonderful italian family & italian bake & sweet shop in our lives!

Great pastries and perfect decor. Part of what makes Poughkeepsie great.

Went here on vacation and had italian Ice. I absolutely love this place!!!

Had our wedding cake made here and every baby shower and Baptism cake, that followed (2006- present). The cake decorator can copy almost any invitation design and font using only buttercream-amazing. They also make beautiful trays of pastries. The Italian pastries were so good, guests at our wedding were putting them in their purses to bring home--true story!The store front is charming with a real ice cream counter and couple of tables outside. Sure, it is not the most modern place around, but it is family friendly and most importantly, delicious. Oh, great prices too.

It's called Po'k Underwater Factory now. Cozy, good food choices available.

Absolutely the best bakery in the Hudson Valley. They did my wedding cake, loved it as well as all my guests. Best rum cake ever! My husband's family have gotten all there cakes there for many years. All occasions, awesome Bakery.

Italian ice is legendary

Quaint shop with all the best baked goods you ever wanted

Lovey atmosphere, delicious cafe!

I had the Italian Rum Cake and I was disappointed. The rum was not evenly distributed throughout the cake. Some bites had rum while others did not. I was hoping the cake itself would have been more moist and fresher. The cream filling was tasty. The decoration on the cake was impressive.

Been going there for many years their the best Bakery in Dutchess County, they'll be closing soon due to retirement really going to miss them

Great pastries

Wonderful authentic Italian treats!

Yummy for year's!

A staple in Poughkeepsie and one of the only remaining places that connect Poughkeepsie and Little Italy of Poughkeepsie the Italian ices or what I love the most but my wife loves the cookies

I came here with my mother and sisters. The cappuccinos were okay. The pastries were all stale, and the cafe was not out of anything at the end of the day. The cream puff's filling was sour. However, the decor is adorable. It's a very nice environment. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to come here, but it may be worth a visit if you're interested in ambiance.

I always enjoy my visits to Cafe Aurora. I try to stop in every time I'm in Poughkeepsie. They are friendly and accommodating. Their black and whites are great and they make a great espresso to go with them. I stopped by in the summer they have very good Italian ice. Last time I was there I met the owner and he was a great guy.

This is a great bakery... It feels like you are stepping back into another time and place when you enter. Their connolis were always my favorites. It's a shame there is no one in the family to take it over and it will be closed shortly :-(
