We were about an hour away where this is typically around 5 hours away so knew we needed to check it out being so close. Snagged street parking easily and even just the vibes of the outside started off our experience so nicely. Located at what is dubbed Four Corners that is I believe the only remaining intersection in the US that has pre-revolutionary stone houses on all 4 corners. Such an amazing sight to see the old architecture. Rough Draft has utilized the space so perfectly. Worth visiting even if you are looking to just browse. I highly recommend trying a coffee or tea drink to start your day though and a baked good. If those aren't your cup of tea grab a beer or wine then. My wife got an Iced Mocha and loved it. I went with one of their current specials, "I Know What You Did Last S'more". It was so good but was unique compared to a typical s'more coffee drink since it had espresso and smoked black tea. I also had a chocolate croissant while my wife had a maple palmier and we enjoyed both. We snagged some window seats and it was the perfect way to enjoy the drinks and baked goods. My wife loved browsing the books and thought it had so many unique books she hadn't seen at other bookstores. Which it really is more than just a bookstore with the cafe and bar vibes! Highly recommend everyone check it out, if you can. We look forward to coming back!

I have so many good things to say, where do I even start?!…read more First of all, this book and bar spot is absolutely beautiful. It's located on such a charming street, and stepping inside felt like walking into an elevated Barnes & Noble straight out of a Harry Potter movie. There are endless shelves of books across every genre, cozy seating throughout, and the perfect atmosphere to spend hours browsing or reading. The coffee was just as wonderful as the space. I wasn't sure what to order, so the barista recommended a drink and was incredibly accommodating with my many requests. I can't have too much milk or syrup, so I basically gave them a complicated custom order, and they made it exactly to my liking without hesitation. I also ended up buying one of the chocolate bars they had at the counter and turns out it was $20!!!! As a tourist, I had no idea it was a well known local chocolate brand with a factory nearby, so that was a fun surprise. This is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down. I'd love to come back, grab a coffee, spend the entire afternoon reading, and just soak in the comforting smell of books and fresh coffee. Such a cozy, magical spot that's well worth visiting!

If you ask me none of those options are all that appealing. With that being said there is hope in Rhinebeck, NY and that hope comes in an Oblong form! (Ok I'm not a comedian) Oblong is the answer to the all too often disconnected book store experiences of the present. This store serves as a sanctuary to those longing for the bookstore of the past ambiance. Tall stacks of books on display with index cards handwritten by the staff strategically placed to provide insight. A friendly staff who goes out of their way to assist you and even remembers you; that's how customer service should be! I recently purchased a book and came back two weeks later for a signing. Upon walking up to get in line a member of the staff recognized me and pinpointed that I was there two weeks prior to purchase to book. Talk about small town charm! Speaking of signings, they often host them as well as meet the author events with Q&A. If you need a book, a place to escape or a time machine to those better days gone past just take a trip to Rhinebeck and visit Oblong. You're welcome.

You will emerge as a style ICON. This place has a curated selection of clothing, lots of vintage pieces, and AFFORDABLE PRICES! (we love an affordable price!)

When you enter, there's a friendly vibe and open interior that welcome you in. You likely won't find any bargains which is to be expected for a local business. There are a few couches that are very comfy but not much seating overall. They also have a bathroom for customers. Located near the waterfront, this place has street parking or a municipal lot that isn't too far.

It's divided into two large rooms, one with the cafe & bookshop and the second with more seating & local art. We tasted several pastries including the mushroom tart, pumpkin danish, and jalapeño cream cheese croissant. All were fresh, delicious, and made with a sense of love you can only achieve from a handmade good. We had several varieties of coffee and tea and all were on point. The space hosts different events and apparently we missed a noise show the night prior. Sliding scale menu, so prices are reasonable at the suggested rates. They also have a community fridge & pantry and we watched as local donors came by to donate fresh goods. Overall, I can't praise this place enough for creating a communal safe space. If you're in the Kingston area, this is a must see stop.

One thing to mention is that the café at this B&N serves Starbucks drinks and bites, but it's not an independent, standalone Starbucks spot.

While they discontinued the Teacher Rewards membership, there are still other membership perks I can enjoy too. It's a great bookstore with a welcoming atmosphere, well-organized and it's nice having it nearby.
