A curated breath of fresh air, Talbott & Arding met every one of our senses. The manicured market atmosphere, the varied assortment of luxury culinary treats, the sheer quality of ingredients paired expertly with each other on the daily menu, the locally sourced unique treasures of gifts and trinkets, the gentle pleasantness of the staff... everything comes together here to form a true and complete product. Talbott & Arding was chosen as our first stop on our girls' getaway journey. Tucked in the Hudson Valley, just an hour from the Berkshires, it was a sweetly energetic beginning to our day. We each chose a sandwich from the counter. My smoked salmon on focaccia was a delight. The bread, airy and light, beautifully happy yeast just bounding with lift, defying the constraints of olive oil which left my fingers gloriously glistening. I haven't had a focaccia as happy as that in a minute. Super thin radish, bright pickled shallot and fresh watercress all gave a nice vibrant touch. Ben's cream cheese couldn't possibly be creamier. And the delicate, silky, fresh, luxurious salmon... What a dream. So balanced. I filled my arms with goods- iberico salami, Aleppo chili oil, Blackstrap coffee beans, local chocolates, and an adorable Talbott & Arding puzzle. I'm sure I could have easily convinced myself to buy just about everything I laid my eyes upon. The cheese counter was an absolute work of art. It's clear that Talbott & Arding is a willing servant to the gifts of the surrounding earth and people. The homage it pays is palpable. Our stop at Talbott & Arding set the tone for an intentional, peaceful, vibrant, cozy, delicious, connected trip. I'll be back immediately. read more

THE most delicious prepared food. Food is fresh, tasty, inspired, and much is healthy vegetable/grain-forward. Love the cheese and charcuterie, and they now carry Mel the Bakery bread for a one-stop A++ food shop in Hudson!

With that and the prepared food case, it's so convenient and delicious to pick up a few items to complete a nutritious home meal.

This is a magical local shop. Everything looks incredibly fresh, homemade and unique. Fresh sandwiches, salads, pastries, desserts ... and the cheeses! I love that there's a little gift shop portion of the store at the front. I wish they still had their coffee service (it's transitioned to self-service coffee only) but they make up for it with all the other offerings. Go! read more

Hello I reviewed this establishment several times and now I see that the employees say the owners are "evil". This is their word. The owner Kate treated me very poorly as a customer so I am not that surprised at what employees say about these 2 women. Why would you want to give your money to a business that is so poorly rated by customers and employees. Also have noted that someone else complained about the price of their cheeses , which I have previously pointed out. Btw there is a lovely cheese shop in Kent CT that has reasonable pricing. Try it, I love that shop. read more

Lovely local gourmet grocery spot with delicious food, and gifts, pricey and artisanal.

Great selection and worth the trip to treat yourself. Cheese selection was phenomenal!

There's a lot to say about this gourmet grocer, including that it is eye-poppingly pricey even by Hudson standards and that it sells a wide array of intriguing condiments and candies that are genuine curiosities even in our globalized modern age. But the very first thing that springs to mind when I think of Talbott & Arding -- the thing that fills me with a sense of longing, the thing so bewitching that I fret about it being out of stock as I walk through the door -- is the egg salad. Yes, the egg salad here is so extraordinary that I sound like some mad romantic consumed by passion and lust when I talk about it. This is all the more incredible because I generally do not even like egg salad! Normally, when I encounter egg salad, I see large chunks of rubbery egg whites swaddled in mayonnaise and perhaps studded with chopped celery and flecked with parsley. Here, however, we have something different. The eggs have been minced and mashed to the consistency of guacamole, resulting in less of an egg salad and more of an egg dip. The color is almost uniformly yellow, interrupted here and there by bits of egg white and -- crucially -- by pieces of glorious golden yolk. Aside from the eggs, the only ingredients are mayo, salt and pepper, so the result is a genuine gestalt that exemplifies the power of simplicity. It's also a testament to the power of quality ingredients, because I have to think that the eggs come from chickens that are living a positively pampered existence. And I also wonder if the store, which makes its own meringues, has a surplus of yolks that help to make this the ultimate egg salad. You can enjoy this egg salad on its own by the spoonful, but it's even better paired with their freshly baked focaccia. As I mentioned, there's a lot more to say about this store, but I'll leave it there: come for the egg salad, stay to discover many more excellent eats. read more

I love places of interest in Hudson that are not on Warren Street, the main drag. The lovely Talbott is a big and modern place to be if you like upscale made on premises pastry, good espresso, wide variety of cheese, and an interesting assortment of prepared foods. My espresso and scone were excellent and I went home with baguette with butter and prosciutto. My only issue is the picnic table seating belows please don't sit long. And no wifi!! There's room for more comfort and lingering. read more

Great cheese and treat shop, a perfect place to build a picnic basket. Huge selection of cheeses and pastries as well as home goods.

Talbots is my absolute favorite hudson lunch spot. The house focaccia is fantastic the core of a stellar panini line up as well as the world class muffuletta. The deli side options are extensive with flavors for every palate and diet and always land the execution. The ham and raclette always hits the spot and their asparagus and bacon panini was unashamedly the highlight of a pretty good day. It's mind boggling that anyone would eat at a burger king or mcdonald's when you could have home made and local sandwiches that are like 2 dollars more. The grocery section runs a bit pricey but if you need a specialty cheese or some unique charcuterie totally worth it. read more

Overpriced. Food, meh. Rude service. Waited a long time. Not organized. Heating prepared food to barely tepid.

It was pretty empty when we came in on a weekday morning. But the woman at the cookies counter was super helpful and the chocolate whale cookie and chocolate walnut cookies, which are her favorites, were delicious! The focaccia pizza was OK. We were told it had meat in it, but it didn't. But it was tasty and made with fresh ingredients. read more

This place has a really well curated selection of cheeses, charcuterie, and artisanal grocery items. Fun spot to shop around. Came in yesterday with some friends for lunch around 1:30. We tried to order some sandwiches and were told the things we were interested in were sold out. When asked what they did have left we were told "use your eyes". Asked if they could make us some simple custom sandwiches (ya know, with all the CHEESE and MEAT the place is packed with) and were rudely told "they don't do that." I worked in the fine cheese industry for 5 years and have never been to a cheese shop that has food service that wouldn't make you a sandwich with the ingredients they have in the case. I'm not often inspired to leave reviews but the curt attitude of the employee really left a bad taste in my mouth. I understand if you can't make me something "special" (though this place should really consider doing that lol y'all make cheeseboards????) but wasn't even willing to just tell us what they DID have left on the menu is just ridiculous to me. read more

If you are in Hudson and looking for great options for picnic food to take up to Olana, this is the stop! A wonderful assortment of cheeses and carefully prepared foods to suit many tastes. We ordered a pizza slice, several cheeses, and a lemon pound cake which were all superb. The space is very open and didn't feel crowded even near lunch time. There are also a variety of interesting gourmet foods and gifts to take home. This would be a definite stop on my list again next time I'm in the area. read more

Overall, very happy with everything we've had here! Their bread is excellent and I highly recommend it. I would also like to use this moment to BEG them to bring the cheese monger focaccia back, as that is #1 for me. Definitely also try the fruit and nut bread and/or their other loaf cakes- so delish! The grain bowl is very healthy and the components are always fresh. I think they typically could use a little sauce or dressing - maybe they could include a little of the miso dressing on the side (or whichever dressing complemented the flavors that day)! read more

I recently purchased a gift card from Talbot and arding and sadly as a gift to a friend of mine. I put it in the mail and a birthday card and sadly the card was stolen from her mailbox and she never got it. I did not have the receipt for the card, but I went down to the store and I explained the situation to the young gentleman who is there to help me and he looked up my card. He looked the card up the date it was purchased. He canceled the original card And he issued me a new one they were absolutely perfect. They were helpful. They were kind they listen to my sad tale of woe. And went above and beyond to help me out. It's a great store and the people that work there are great. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious! The premade goat cheese sandwich I got was perfect. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of product. read more

I ordered a small mac & cheese and meatballs in tomato sauce and was surprised to receive the order cold. Unfortunately I failed to realize that this is a prepared foods place. Overall, the meatballs were flavorful and the Mac & cheese was great, just a tad too creamy for me personally. We microwaved the Mac for 2 minutes and the meatballs for approximately 3 minutes (didn't have access to an oven at our hotel). read more

This is the best cheese shop in the area. We saw the great reviews and decided to stop by for some cheese shopping before hitting a winery. There were so many varieties and the staff was so helpful. We got to try a lot of cheeses and purchased a small portion of the one we liked. More than the purchase, we like the cleanliness of the shop and the helpful staff read more

I love going to Talbott & Arding, when I am in Hudson! They have an amazing selection of specialty and local items, as well as fresh baked goods. The staff at the cheese counter let you taste samples - I'd highly recommend their manchego. I also love their sesame bread, almond cardamon cake, chicken patê, and prosciutto! read more

A cute gourmet market with a selection on cheese, meats, pastries, baked goods and a variety of other stuff. We got a coconut cake that was $12.95 and it was so delicious! Very good coconut flavor and the cake wasnt dry at all. The cream on top was not overly sweet and just a great combination with the cake! Would definitely go back to try the others read more

This is a super cute little bustling shop on the main drag. We constantly found ourselves trying to dodge folks coming and going in and out of the shop (a common theme with Hudson shops apparently) which is a testament to its popularity and lack of operational planning skills. Anywho we had great sausage and pork turnovers here. As anyone will tell you, I'm a fool for savory style pies... That said, the chocolate walnut cookie was just meh. Hey, you can't win them all. In any case, we'd return (we actually did return before we left the area, so)... read more

You can't really go wrong here.....I love it for a midweek pre-made dinner, charcuterie supplies, or a quick lunch while I am running errands. I will say, I never went to the old location, it was too cramped for me, I love the new spot off of Warren. I park, grab my things, and bounce! I love it! Also---great service from Richard on my last two visits, great staff in general! read more

Fly to Italy and you probably won't find better Parma ham. To Britain? You probably won't find a better Stilton cheese

Yes, it's extremely pricey but I keep going back! They had one item that was quite reasonably priced, the blondies WERE $3.00. They must have realized they'd made a mistake because now, increasing to $5.00, they are overpriced like everything else in the shop. Whew, what a relief! read more

My fiancée picked up a focaccia pizza with salami, mozzarella, and basil. I liked the soft airy crusted.

Really, truly the best cheese spot in New York State, including NYC. Their selection of meats, cheeses, tapenades, and other charcuterie essentials is unmatched. Staff are super knowledgeable and friendly. Their prepared foods (also offered refrigerated or frozen) are creative, delicious, and fresh. Do not miss going to T&A just because it's not on Warren Street - it's an essential Hudson stop. read more

I have been coming to this store every time I get up here. The food is always amazing! Today we bought $90 worth of items which most everything was fabulous. The cheese...to die for! The baguette...amazing! All was so good but... we bought a roasted chicken from Northwinds Farm, which is a local farm that we know. Once we cut open the chicken there were two things that we noticed. We were delighted that the cavity was stuffed with fresh thyme and lemon. But horrified to see the digestive track of the bird was intact. My friends at Talbot, please brine your bird! And remove the poop before you cook it! Especially if you're asking $22 for a small cooked chicken read more

Delicious and worth the visit! Love the cheeses and sandwiches!! I recommend trying the muffleta and also their baked goods as well!

It's a wonderful gourmet provisions market which we've been going to since it was the original and now the larger store on 2d street. But the prices are officially out of control. $40 for a small pumpkin pie that was average. Cup of broth for $7? While great cheese etc the prepared food is mediocre. My milanese,, meatballs and roast chicken are better and come with a better price tag. The prices are just not cool now. read more

Nice addition to Warren Street. I ordered a nice Chevre, Ossau-Iraty, and some sausages from the counter. I grabbed two baguettes that were priced perfectly. Ossau-Iraty is my favorite sheep's milk cheese from the Pyrenees. I thought the nutty and grassy flavors went perfectly with the white wine I purchased at Hudson Wine Merchants. Previously we purchased many different cheeses and some lovely baked goods a few months back. I was thrilled to see such a high quality store open up in Hudson. read more

Delicious and cute little spot in Hudson. I stopped in here while on a weekend trip in Hudson. Picked up two cakes: the ginger and lemon frosting one, and the chocolate with meringue. The flavor of the ginger was stunning and you can tell it's fresh. The chocolate loaf was good, but not as unique. Would love to come back and try more food! read more

Fun to shop. Muffuletta sandwich looks tasty. Other prepared foods. Had a satisfying sausage roll with thin crust and nice sausage. Giant meringue and marshmallows. Assorted cake loaves. Ice cream bars. Not much going on in produce. Two cheeses we bought were sadly very mild including the typically very strong taleggio. read more

Fantastic little food shop with creativity and attention to detail. Especially lovely dessert custards in jars, cakes, and savory specials.

Disclaimer: food is delicious. Why 1 star? They allow staff to handle food without gloves or hand washing. Young man behind deli counter scratching (mosquito bites?) on his arm before serving the days frittata without gloves. Cashier handling $$$ & grabbing focaccia & sausage biscuits without any hand to food buffer or protection (flimsy piece of parchment paper doesn't cut it) Absolutely disgusting. If you doubt my review go ahead & order in here & observe food handling practice. Unacceptable. Gross. read more

Went there and grabbed few things, getting ring out in the register is a bit slow because everyone is so friendly in hudson. The bake goods are amazing a bit in the pricy side but everything in hudson is pricy. They have a nice variety of cheeses there, also jams and other good to go with it. If you are in hudson is worth stoping by. read more

First time visiting today. We grabbed a little bit of everything and all of it was amazing! Fresh sliced specialty meats, delicious cheeses, pastries, the best muffaletta I've ever had (even better than in New Orleans!), smoked fish. Soooo good and everyone working in there was incredibly friendly and helpful. read more

Have you ever tried Talbotts classic focaccia? Many bakers try to make that, and fail. This one is oerfect - crispy crust, pully interior, just fabulous! I couldn't stop eating it while driving home from Hudson, i have been thinking of getting some more since then! read more

We are visiting the Hudson area on vacation and decided to order a bunch of dishes/sides/cheeses etc from Talbot & Arding. Curbside pickup was very easy and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious!!! The coconut curry, chicken pot pie, tomato leek soup, turkey sandwich etc etc etc were amazing!! I am so impressed with the quality and attention to detail spent crafting each of these delicious dishes! You must try this place if you are in the area. Thank you!!! read more
