Fantastic grocery store expanded across several locations throughout the Hudson Valley in New York is like a cross between a Whole Foods/health food store type and a New York City grocery and deli food market! With a Bakery, Sweet shop, Seafood Merchant, Deli, a coffee bar with over 100 types of beans and customizable grind, it might be a bit joyfully overwhelming upon your first visit. Let's not forget the awesome array of international cheeses, at least a type for almost every country, local fresh produce along with exotic and rare produce, local farm condiments such as honey, Maple syrup, and molasses, and selections of botanical beverages that you won't see everyday. There's also a soup bar, and a hot food bar, buffet style, free to your choosing and priced at checkout. Of course you can pick up your everyday, familiar brands and foods, but if your on a budget, you may want to avoid what you could buy at your nearest discount grocery store as the familiar brands are a deep dive into the wallet, so much as the prices match proportionately to the majority selection of each grocery section. Don't let that stop you though, there just some items that you can find an Adams that you'll never find anywhere in the Hudson Valley, so to me, it's worth it. They "get it" and they have some of the best, and freshest meats, produce, and fish. They have a breakfast hub where customers can come and get a delicious breakfast and fresh brewed coffee until about 11am. Last but not least, there is another section with mentioning though I've not visited this particular section of the store yet- but Adams has a Home and Garden center. Observing from the inside as you drive by, you will see all along the exterior, trees, plants, seasonal flowers and more. If ever in Poughkeepsie, (particularly The Arlington), this is a place to drop in!
