Crumbl Opens in Poughkeepsie! 🍪
The popular dessert chain is now open in South Road Crossing Plaza. It serves freshly baked cookies Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Owned by local franchisees Sagar and Parin Gandhi, the new shop is conveniently located near Marist and Vassar, welcoming students, locals, and Route 9 passersby alike.
Crumbl is known for its rotating weekly menu featuring gourmet cookie flavors like chocolate toffee cake, cinnamon roll, and peanut butter cup. You can grab anything from a single cookie to a 12-pack in their signature pink box or opt for a mini dessert or cake cup. Everything is made in-house with real ingredients, and the open-concept kitchen lets you see the magic happen.
Check their website or socials each Sunday night to see what flavors are baking next!
