One of the most architecturally striking dispensaries in the Hudson Valley and perhaps all of New York, Kingston’s Domes Dispensary is impossible to miss. Two geodesic domes seem to hover in space on Route 28, just off of I-87’s exit 19, catching the eye of every passerby.
The domes were originally the brainchild of locals Valerie and Joe Stote, who dreamed of a community hub and garden center. That creative spirit lives on, with the space now doubling as a venue for after-hours music events. Under its cathedral-like ceiling, the domes’ acoustics rival a Juilliard concert hall.
Domes Dispensary officially debuted on November 27, 2024—Green Wednesday, the cannabis world’s answer to Black Friday—with neighbors gathering from nearby Hurley, Woodstock, Saugerties, Rhinebeck, and Hudson. Owners Jennifer Dundas and David Tivnan have built a dispensary that feels as curated as it is welcoming, with a skylit interior and an emphasis on supporting New York’s small farms. They go beyond just selling cannabis; they regularly host farmers and educate staff on sustainable cultivation.
The shelves are stocked with flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, tinctures, edibles, and accessories, while knowledgeable budtenders help customers find their perfect match—whether they’re first-timers or seasoned connoisseurs looking to switch things up.
With its bold design, deep community ties, and thoughtfully sourced products, Domes Dispensary is a standout in the Hudson Valley and Catskills region’s growing cannabis scene.
