Fort Orange General Store

Love love love supporting this amazing small business. Perfect stop for gift buying needs. You can always find something cute for anyone here.

This store is so cute, with an assortment of modern, free-​trade home goods, accessories and handmade jewelry. Just the kind of place to find a perfect gift or just browser around when you’re visiting from out of town, which is what I was doing. The staff is also really friendly and even helped me out with some local restaurant recommendations. If I lived near here I’d recommend it to all my friends, but since I don’t, I’m giving it a big thumbs up on Unilocal.Check it out, people!

Super chill & stylish shop that sells beautifully made, & carefully selected, small lifestyle & gift items – including local, handmade, OOAK & vintage. If this shop is the essence of ‘Keep Albany Boring’, I’m totally hooked! Love everything about this shop, owner included!
Discovered this shop just by chance while waiting for a Spectrum film, a couple of doors down. A totally delightful find!

Hands down my favorite shop in the Capital Region. This place is adorable and their inventory is immaculately curated. They sell a range of home goods, jewelry, accessories, and other various trinkets. I wish I could live in this store — I want my apartment to look like this!
This is a great place for gifts, and prices are very reasonable.

Great gift shop with fun quirky things ranging from coffee to cocktail to handmade crafty items. A Brooklyn hipster store right in Albany! I bought a coffee pot, some coffee and a tea towel. Very interesting creative jewelry. Going back with my daughter, niece and mom!

Filed under cards & stationary. They do have that, and really fine examples, but they have so much more. So trust the name of the store and get there. Small but packed with goodness, you can find personal care items as basic as toothpaste and soap, cocktail provisions including a really nice selection of bitters and tools, home goods like tea towels, blankets, and ceramics, incense, artfully prepared magazines, baby clothes, chocolate… I’ll stop there so you can discover the treasures for yourself. Then I notice my list doesn’t tell the story. Everything is so very carefully and beautifully designed. Much is local or regional.
There is not a finer joint in town to buy gifts this holiday season. There is not a finer joint in town to buy provisions for yourself.
So go.

Not from Albany i live on long island. This little shop reminded me of a little hipster shop in Brooklyn, so cute! Everything in the store was very unique. I did get a necklace i love it!!! Prices were a little high. I think it was worth it I love to support small business .The lady that was working behind the desk not sure if she was the owner but she was super sweet and helpful. I really hope to see this place stay and grow. Id love to come back and get some gifts and even more jewelry!

This place is about a cute as stores come.
Cool variety of products for drinking, shaving, personal care, and some decorative stuff. Well organized and placed.
My wife said they had a large bitters selection which I missed (argh!)
They pleased my wife’s aesthetic which is high praise and difficult to do. I can think of only one other store in the capital district for which this can be said and it’s in Saratoga.

Couldn’t love this place more! Great gifts, cool handmade stuff. It’s like nothing else in Albany.
