Cold Spring General Store

Pretty nice selection of a bit of everything in here. More like a curated high end General Store with all types of things for the home, and gifts for that hard to please person.
They feature locally sourced handmade goods from artisan makers throughout the Hudson Valley and New York. Books, kitchen stuff, snacks, edibles, teas, blankets, cards, and other unique items. A bit on the pricey side but you’re paying for the quality and selection of what they offer.
We also loved shopping at «The Barn» which is right next door and part of this shop. It’s open seasonally on weekends, highlighting local provisions, jams, clothing, and cold drinks. There is a comfy and relaxing area for guests to sit and chill out a bit in the backyard of the store. Very upstate country feel and friendliness.

Stopped into the Cold Spring General Store on a trip up «north» this past weekend, and was immediately impressed. They’ve curated a great collection of handmade goods, edibles, books and paper goods; the staff is warm and welcoming to boot.
I can’t remember the last time that, to me, «browsing» really meant looking at every item in a store. Granted, the store is small enough that checking out everything in it isn’t particular daunting, but that isn’t the point: the point is that I wanted to buy every. single. thing. in there.
I ended up grabbing a clutch, handmade my Grace Design (she’s on Etsy if you want to find her). Yes, I may have used it the next day and yes, I may have gotten compliments on it already.
I’m not a local so I can’t speak to how great this store is for the neighborhood, but as an out-​of-​towner, I’ll absolutely be checking it out the next time I’m in Cold Spring, if that counts for anything.

Excellent! We are very lucky to have this little shop in Cold Spring. It opened earlier in 2014. They sell a variety of items that are all well made and carefully selected from their partners. At the General Store, you will find things such as: loose leaf tea, awesome blankets (I bought one), notepads, greeting cards, real maple syrup, books, cups, and so much more. I purchased a really nice blanket as a Christmas gift — it was 15% off — even better! The blanket was $ 72, but I can tell it is very high quality, as is everything in this store. As I mentioned, the owners are meticulous about what they choose to carry. I didn’t buy them, but I distinctly remember an amazing pair of scissors sitting on one of the tables for $ 8. They were very classic looking. Might have to get them next time!
The owners are so nice and clearly care a lot about the community and their store.
I will definitely be back when I am in Cold Spring! Highly recommend!

I have to say that when I heard that they were going to open a general store on main street in Cold Spring at the former Hudson Valley Outfitters I thought it was a bad idea. Who would not just got to Food Town?
This is a real high end store and a great asset to main street Cold Spring. They are not competing with Food Town, they are in a class of their own. It is a really nice specialty shop. It is not the place you go bread and milk. It is for unique gifts and gourmet food items. A perfect place to buy something for a picnic by the river. They even have tap beer for sale that you pump into your own cool glass bottle.
We need more of this type of place in Cold Spring.
