The 10 best shops in Saratoga Springs

Broadway is still the main shopping street in Saratoga Springs. All ten shops on this list sit on Broadway, between No. 368 and No. 490. Several have been downtown for decades: deJonghe Original Jewelry has been at 470 Broadway since 1988, and Impressions of Saratoga marked 45 years in business in 2023.

This list is for visitors planning a shopping afternoon and for locals getting a head start on holiday gifts. Every shop is independently owned and inside the city, and national chains were left off. The 2026 Victorian Streetwalk is Thursday, Dec. 3, according to Northshire Saratoga’s events calendar.

How we chose

We looked for independently owned stores with a steady local reputation, local press coverage and real staying power, and we mixed the kinds of shops a visitor or a gift shopper would want: books, toys, clothing, jewelry, gourmet food, Irish goods and outdoor gear. Each one was confirmed open as of mid-October 2026 from the shop’s own website or a 2026 source, and hours come from those pages. Every address was checked to confirm the shop is inside the city. The list is unranked and in alphabetical order, and no shop paid to be included.

Hours, prices and dates below come from each business or official source and change without notice. Call ahead if you are making a special trip.
