Hold onto your wallet, Veras is pricey, but you can rely on the quality. I've been going to this market shop for decades, and like what's happening - the new ice cream, business, marbled meats, and you can still get your garden supplies and some unique gourmet, food, items and provisions at Veras. Expect to pay approximately 40 to 50% more for your basic produce items but you will be happy with the quality. Don't forget to stop by marbled meets next door. Also, hold onto your wallet but you will not be disappointed. No need to go to the supermarket when you have all the provisions under one roof. read more

I came here just for the doughnuts after a difficult hike of Anthony's Nose. It looks like a small unassuming garden center from the road side. The inside store is also very small, and masks are required. I've had doughnuts from many farms in NY/NJ - but Vera's are hands down the best. You wouldn't expect it being how unassuming this place is. The powdered cinnamon flavor is out of this world. The doughnuts are crisp but airy and lightweight, and covered in a thick dusting of powder. They also have plain apple cider, cinnamon sugar and your regular powdered style. We got 2 of each (minus the plain) and it was a $7.50 well spent! read more

Vera's is located in what looks like a roadside stop in a mini "complex" with a coffee place, a meat shop and an artsy store. They have a small no frills shop with fresh fruits and vegetables, apple cider, cheeses, meats, jams, nuts, pumpkins and yummy apple cider donuts! They make plain, cinnamon sugar, cinnamon powder and white powdered apple cider doughnuts. They are 1.25 each, 6 for $7.50 (I think) and 12 for $12. They are a decent size and I actually really liked the cinnamon powdered doughnuts best. They were soft and moist. The doughnuts in general needed to be eaten fairly quickly as the cinnamon sugar melts, but I finished the cinnamon powdered ones before I could see what happens to them after a few days :) We made this our first stop on the way to a few places to check out apple cider doughnuts and I definitely liked these cinnamon powdered ones (none of the other 2 places we went had this flavor) and they were bigger. I'd come back for more! read more

I bought 3 petunias that were wave ones last Friday, May 31st. The owner said they would be fine if left in their original pot. I watered them daily, but they withered and looked dead. I called the owner to tell him about it and he said sorry, once they leave the store that's it. I feel very disappointed and feel that I should have been given a refund for 2 of them or an exchange. read more

Really quality cider donuts in four flavors (plain, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, powdered cinnamon - the last being very unique). All super fresh and delicious. Nice selection of produce too. Free easy parking. read more

I don't need to tell you that the cider donuts are the best on planet earth, but I will anyway. DO NOT MISS THESE DONUTS. They have a ton of other good stuff there too, including pastas, sauces, produce, jams, maple syrup and more, but Mmmmmm, donuts. They alone are worth the trip. read more

Sep 2022, OMG still the BEST Cider Sugar Doughnuts around New York State. We have been coming here ever year and they still taste the same, DELICIOUS. The owner is wonderful. All and all, you MUST come here for doughnuts. read more

Great selection of fresh seasonal produce. Friendly and helpful staff. Welcoming atmosphere.

I have to be honest - I was disappointed. Yes the staff is friendly but everything else fell flat for me... Their prices on the flowers/plants were quite expensive compared to where I normally shop (Home Depot), so I didn't buy any. I did buy 3 Cinnamon Sugar Donuts at .85 per Donut. I was left disappointed with these too. They lacked flavor and left me wishing I had gone to Dunkin. :-/ Also, $8 for 1 Dozen Donuts is outrageous. So glad I bought only 3 at $2.25 and not a whole dozen!! read more

I stopped here before my hike this late last month on my quest to find apple cider doughnuts. They have them made fresh and warm. So good! We also grabbed some olive bread. It was my first time having it and now I need to find a place that makes them in NYC haha. read more

A terrific selection of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as some specialty items, there's no reason to troll through the depressing produce isle at your local supermarket as long as Vera's Philipstown Market is in business. Sure, some of the produce can be expensive, but the trade-off is that it's fresh and yummy. No sad-looking fruits or depressed tomatoes allowed at this joint. No, sir! They also have a terrific selection of Italian food products, including brands of cookies that you'd be hard-pressed to find outside of Italy. There's also a great but small selection of locally-made cheeses, dairy products and organic eggs, not to mention locally-raised organic chicken. It is quite possible to do most of your shopping here, provided that you are not a major carnivore. Granted, you aren't going to be able to find Tide or paper products at this joint, but that's why the corporate gods invented Target. Combined with the lovely gardening section - I loved the hanging plants - Vera's Philipstown Market isn't a bad place at all for something located in the middle of nowhere on Route 9. They don't take credit cards (although there is an ATM on the premises for shoppers' convenience), so grab some cash, pack your checkbook, and go get some fruits and veggies! read more

This is my favorite flower place in the world!!! I've only gone for the garden center, but the selection of plants is truly breathtaking. This is my second year buying hanging petunias from them & won't be the last, the ones I got last year lasted me through the summer & got huge! If you wait until June/July however the selection dwindles, but if you are a plant lover like me & are in the Cold Spring area def check them out. The staff is incredibly friendly & always happy to answer any questions. I've already gotten a bunch of complements on my porch this year & it's all thanks to Vera's! :) read more

Great family run place. Local people, excellent selection of fresh produce, pasta, frozen raviolis. Italian bread. Donuts.

A Must! The most friendly and knowledgable place of business. Vera is superb and you'll feel like you know her all of your life. Her son takes right after her with his mom's enthusiasm, knowledge and fantastic personality. They have everything from the best and fresh fruits and vegetables, imported cheeses, pastas, donuts wow, the best sugar (apple cider) just like bkeries of yesteryear!!! The best in gardening! What a selection of flowers, hanging and potted, seeds,and lawn / yard decorations! Did I mention the price? The best prices around!!! You'll love it! Pat & John read more

The donuts are pretty fabulous. That's all i know. Nothing else in the market looked very extraordinary. (Although looks can be deceiving, i suppose.) It's worth a trip for the donuts alone. 12 for $9. read more

Staff are ALWAYS friendly, a pleasure to shop here! We enjoy each visit and look forward to returning! P.S. Cider donuts a must! read more

Awesome place. Not only because my danish grandmother carried the same name, but also as she was as lovely and courteous as this Vera is. Awesome doughnuts and produce and Cheese and flowers in the spring. Thank you, Vera!! read more

Vera's is a must-go-to gem for fresh and fluffy donuts. It is apparent that high quality ingredients are being used. The donuts have been consistent to a T, each of the four times I have had Vera's donuts over the past year. Best donuts I have ever had in my life. My mouth is watering just typing this. The market place is great for fresh produce (fruit, veggies), and their refrigerated section has apple cider (also excellent) and an assortment of dairy. A must-stop if you're anywhere near/ passing through the Cold Spring/ Beacon area. Staff is genuine, helpful, and kind. read more

Donuts!!! Wonderful fruit. Sweet people. I did a u-turn to stop in and grab some fruit, so glad I did. The donut was so worth it!!!

Everything here is fresh and delicious, the fruits and veggies, the Italian ice, the sauces, pasta, etc! I can't believe it took me this long to go there, but I'll be regular from now on! And the friendly family that owns and runs the market is a huge plus! :) read more

It's all about the cider donuts. We will go 30 minutes out of our way to get Vera's donuts. While we are there we stock up on fresh produce as well. read more

I really love this place. Vera, her son, and staff are simply amazing. The service personable service cannot beat. The produce section is small, but it is a great place to purchase local products. Quite frankly, sometimes I just don't want to deal with the bigger markets and stores. The baked goods are also to die for! Highly recommend! read more

I love this place and Vera and her family. I pop in here for donuts, fresh produce, milk etc on my way to the cabin every time I pop up from the city. Just walking in the scent of flowers, veggies, wood and fresh donuts remind me I'm home :). read more

My blood sugar was running dangerously low and my bestie rushed me to the nearest place to find food. We saw Vera's Fruit and Vegetable Market and went in. I apologized to Vera, who was by the register, for downing the orange juice I grabbed from the fridge before paying for it. She then saw that I was extremely pale and faint and immediately advised me to lay down. She lead me to a couch in the kitchen area and supplied me with free food and blankets. After a while, I started to get some color back in my face, she gave me excellent advice on ways to avoid low blood sugar situations and told me at length of how proud she was to be a great grandmother. As I was leaving the kitchen, I tried to pay her for the food and services she provided me. She refused it. My bestie and I left Vera's with more hope in humanity. Vera's selfless hospitality spoke lengths of the store she owned. The apple cider donuts she gave me were absolutely superb and you can taste the love and diligent work she puts in them. Highly recommended. I've never met more friendly staff than here. I am definitely coming back for the donuts and of course, for Vera. read more

Everyone who works there is really nice and the apple cider donuts are amazing, I never drive by without stopping to get myself a couple

If you are lucky enough to get one of their fresh donuts(made daily) you will not be disappointed. Everyone is so nice. Vera's rocks!

All of the people who work here are incredibly friendly. The cider donuts are made fresh daily and are the best I've ever had. They offer plain, cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar. I stop in here any time I need to bring a treat to a party or get together. They offer a variety of gourmet goodies, fresh fruits and veggies, and seasonal plants/household items. Stop in! You'll be happy you did! read more
