When Barnes & Noble opened and Borders Books was poised to open in Kingston, my thoughts went immediately to the concern that our local, independent bookstores would be affected, possibly starved out. But now , over a decade later Inquiring Minds is thriving, providing a rich and original selection of intelligent reading materials & music. And now responsibly, speaking "its" mind in the manner of all valuable discourse; a place of free speech that should inspire our community to talk about our differences and look at the real issues at stake in this political and social climate climate. Thank you Brian

My family and close friends as well as myself used to bring this place alot of business, after now driving past and seeing a swastika symbol with their political views plastered everywhere, we will no longer be contributing to their store, no matter who youre voting for this is very obscene and very tacky, whether its taking down or not, you guys ruined a good amount of your business. Near again will I speak highly of this store

I would much rather buy my books from a small, independent store that encourages free thinking and discourse than from a giant corporation that cares more for profits than people. I recently moved back to my home town of Saugerties after 20 years. I love how vibrant and diverse it has become. Thanks, Inquiring Minds, for being part of what makes our town a fun and interesting place to live!

Great selection of new and used books in a broad array of subjects. Very nice, helpful people who will gladly aid you in your quest for great food to snack on while enjoying an awesome cup of coffee in a relaxed atmosphere, complete with chess-board tables! Further, they have frequent cultural events open to the public, helping make Saugerties one of the coolest towns in upstate NY : )

This is my grown-up version of Flourish and Blotts from Harry Potter. I love the cozy feel, the huge selection, the big tables where I can set-up and plug in my gear. Such an awesome place. If I could get paid to stay there all day, I would.

The cafe is pricey and lacks variety (except flavors of caffeinated beverage), but the bookstore itself is good. The staff is hit-or-miss, with some great people behind the counter sometimes and some not-so-great people other times.

An independent bookstore with a lot of local character. Walked in to browse while waiting for a table at a restaurant across the street and was treated to performance of live local folk music.

I like this place, old school bookstore charm, a wooden train set for kids to play, coffee, and chess boards setup ready for players. Books and stuffed animals to buy.

Great place to go and relax for a little bit of time. They have a large childrens section and a train set out for the kids to play with.

Old style bookstore with comfy seating scattered throughout, and even a coffee bar for beverages

Pat Lanspery

Great place all the way around and to top it off the best Vinyl Records found here also!

Timothy Heidcamp

A good assortment of loose leaf teas in addition to fairtrade coffee.
