Plan to spend a long time here browsing all the unique and interesting books! Lovely spot right at the corner. Has a community feeling, especially on nights when they are hosting events or readings. Nice and wide selection of books.

Wonderful book and cafe experience. Love the staff, ambiance and of course, the book selection. Staff are courteous to a fault. One of my go-to places to sit and read, relax.

Cute book store in the heart of Saugerties, complete with old and new reads. They serve coffee and snacks as well. Definitely get the antique feels with the post-modern touches, so if you plan on visiting, make yourself comfortable, grab a cup of Joe, grab a good book, grab a seat, and get cozy. Or you can challenge someone to a game of chess, complete with pieces, or bring your own. It's definitely an experience for both book lovers and those looking for a moment of peace. Kudos to the staff for maintaining the appearance and providing assistance at the drop of a hat.

A bookstore from "the old days" that no longer exists. But here it is; home made. Open the door and it smells of books. Of every imaginable variety; something for everyone, including children, records and CDs. In a quiet, comfortable (tables and chairs, sofas), subdued light (but not dark) atmosphere, a WC. Many folks reading, some on the free wifi, some with coffee/tea and excellent snacks (for sale at modest prices). Local events on some evenings. And you can buy any of it (not the furniture) and take it home.

Really awesome small town bookstore with good coffee and cozy couches. Really embarrassing LGBTQ+ section though—literally 3/4 of one shelf. Fix that and I’ll be back!

We loved the children's book area but were also delighted by the cafe's London Fog, several rare-find art books, and the plush hand puppets!

Comfortable seating, wide sample of used and new books. We ordered large oj base banana mango strawberry smoothie and decaf fat free cappuccino. Both drinks were tasty but the paper straws don't hold up in the OJ smoothie.

I ordered a copy of one of my favorite books, "The Silence of the Llano," from Inquiring Minds Books via Amazon. This 1982 edition in paperback was written by Rudolfo Anaya. The book arrived at my Albuquerque home in beautiful condition. Thank you for prompt delivery of a wonderful collection of New Mexico short stories!

Hands down the best iced coffee I've ever had in my life! They use coffee ice cubes as well so it's an amazing drink that doesn't get watery.

What a place! Every unique book or cd you could want! I will be purchasing Heidegger's "Basic Writings"... Ok coffee. And a wonderful cast of characters from around the globe wandering in and out. Great for a spiritual seeker, art or fiction lover... With many books for kids.
