A great bookstore with a good selection of books and records. Also a very nice staff. It also has a great little children's area where your little one can play with some toys or cozy into a book while you sip a cappuccino.

I purchased a book as a gift through Abebooks, and had a question about shipping, since I was on a deadline. I called, and spoke with a very nice woman who promised to get the book sent that day, so it would definitely arrive in time (which it did!). Very impressed with their customer service and selection - if and when I'm in the area, I'll make sure to stop in! The book was also at a great price, especially for a signed copy. Five stars all around!

I loved the book store and traveled from New York City to partake in the Poetry which Laura Ludwig has hosted for many years. It was a pleasure to feature there with other fine poets. This quaint and interesting bookstore is a gem. I look forward to visiting again, perhaps for National Poetry month. It is always such fun and not too far from the city.

Nice bookstore which includes a small offering of drinks and baked goods as well as a small selection of records and CDs. My daughter found a graphic novel and I was able to find one reasonable priced blues record worth grabbing. As a bookstore it’s probably five stars, as a “cafe” maybe 3, and as a record store 3-4. The records are mostly overpriced for their condition but they do have a surprising amount of cool records among their small stock if you’re willing to pony up the cash. Worth a stop-in if you’re in Saugherties.

I recently visited Inquiring Mind Bookstore & Cafe and had a great time. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making the experience enjoyable. The eclectic decor added character to the place, creating a relaxed atmosphere. It was a nice spot to browse books and grab a coffee. Looking forward to my next visit.

What can I say! Between their extensive collection of books and music, the sweetest, sweetest staff, the most enjoyable coffee, unique literary events, and some of the best couches in town for spending some good time with a book or friends, I would definitely call Inquiring Minds one of my absolute favorite places.

Wonderful bookstore and coffee shop with an excellent selection and wide variety. Great music selection too. This is really more than a bookstore, it is a gather space for locals and visitors of all ages and walks of life. The store has many comfy corners for reading, playing (great kids’ corner!), chatting, and enjoying their yummy cafe drinks. The staff is knowledgeable and ready with a recommendation, and if they don’t the book you’re looking for they are happy to order.

No glitz or glam—a real bookstore with a world of interesting material to browse through. Walking through the Inquiring Mind—whether during the weekend bustle or an idle weekday—always satisfies a deep comfort for me, often lost in life's continuous happenings, through the immersion of its well-sorted, but nonetheless hodgepodge (in the best way!), selection of arcana. Thank you to the staff for the space's curation and expansive upkeep and thank you to the owner for the inspiration to create such a wonderful and communal space. Enjoy a coffee—or whichever drink you like—at the well-managed cafe during your visit! I recommend a simple little latte!

Wonderful little bookstore. Plenty of places to sit and read, friendly staff, and a little cafe with coffee and other small bites! Also love the wall of doggy visitors!

One of the best bookstores on the East Coast. Great care is taken to curate and mind blowing in diversity of titles and sections. Nice cafe to boot. Has the feel of a small college used bookstore with wider selection.
