The coffee here was delicious; cups are running $4 - $5. They offer specialty espresso shots, hot chocolate, smoothies, sodas, and more ranging $4.50 - $7+. They do have other items for sale such as Folkmanis Puppets, decorative gift bags, a selection of greeting cards, unique journal books, and a variety of items related to creative writing. The store also supports local artists by displaying their artwork throughout the store along with the price list. There were several spots throughout the bookstore where you can sit back and enjoy your beverage or snack with a book, which made for a cozy welcoming vibe. Staff were super friendly and inviting. The store is well organized and it is fairly easy to find what you are looking for. If you need a quick reference point on where to start be sure to ask the staff for help. If you are a book lover this is a great place to visit while in Saugerties. I highly recommend them.

The atmosphere is incredibly charming and cozy, the kind of place you can wander through for a while and lose track of time. It has that classic, welcoming bookstore feel with so much personality packed into every corner. What really stood out to me were the prices--super reasonable, which makes it even more enjoyable to browse and actually walk away with a few great finds without breaking the bank. Overall, it's such a gem of a bookstore. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in the area!

A great local bookstore…read more There is like 1 maybe 2 people that seem to work here. The shelves are loaded with all types of books from woodworking to youth fiction to historical works. Just everything under the sun, and they all seem very fairly priced. My son found a number of great kids books, I found a book on Mission style furniture making, and my wife found a number of novels she was interested in. Something for everyone and a lot to look through! TL;DR: Good bookstore, fair priced.

My mom has randomly asked me if I knew a used bookstore with old vet manuals (like for cows, etc) and I happened to walk by this place a couple days later, so I popped in. I found several OLD (1904-ish) farm vet type books. Upon checking out, I told the owner how thrilled I was to find them, and he recommended I go upstairs, second door, second shelf from the top, closest to the window.... he knows every book in the place! And word is he has another warehouse full of books!! They're only open 11-5 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so I plan to go back at 10:59 with snacks and stay the duration. Poor guy is gonna have to throw me out!

I wish they had more separate tables and chairs bc it gets packed but this is a nice place to kill some time, come w ur partner, or just do some work. Their drinks are amazing! If I lived nearby I would come here every week to get their matcha's. Their food is just as good! I LOVE their hand pies!! I have not tried one that wasn't good. Their pastries are good quality too. If you've never been here idk what you're waiting for.

The selection is always excellent, the layout makes browsing a pleasure, and the staff has consistently been helpful, friendly, and genuinely knowledgeable. We've been shopping here for at least 28 years, and it remains one of the absolute must‑visit stops every time we're in Woodstock. There's something special about a bookstore that maintains its character and quality for decades, and Golden Notebook does exactly that. A wonderful independent shop with real heart -- we'll keep coming back as long as they're here.
