What a lovely store on the Main Street of Catskill that has great items to pick up as gifts or use…read morefor yourself! Items in the store are from local artisans or mostly made in the USA. I picked up some cute tea towels, candles and a box of soaps. We found parking right on main street at a meter on a Sunday. I love supporting small business especially in towns that you want to visit and stroll on a day off. If we don't support them, this kind of activity will go extinct!

I didn't find anything that spoke to me; however, my mom loved the store and purchased several gifts for her girlfriends. They sell a variety of candles, essential oils and crystals, decorative one-of-a-kind purses, vintage teacups, jackets, dresses, novelty socks, and other home accents. They have some jewelry, hats, unique journal and creative writing books and other stationary materials available as well. The store was cute, organized, and clean. The staff member working was very friendly and helpful. If you are in the area and shopping around, I would recommend a visit, especially if you're looking for a unique gift item to bring home.

The selection is always excellent, the layout makes browsing a pleasure, and the staff has consistently been helpful, friendly, and genuinely knowledgeable.

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.

This won't be long because I what I have to say is pretty simple and direct. And at this point,…read moreI've spent more time on the one and a half sentences then they spent acknowledging us or speaking to us during the 15 minutes in their store despite attempting to ask questions and despite making it clear we were looking to make a purchase. In fact, the person couldn't even be bothered to look up or get up. Lots of over priced stuff. But we were on a weekend get away and buying up art and items for our apartment in Manhattan. Fortunately other places were very happy to take our money and make a sale.

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 "peek" turned out to be an experience that touched all of my senses. So many carefully curated fun, whimsical, & necessary items.
