Fantastic bookstore and cafe. The staff was helpful. The book selection was phenomenal and they called out local authors and books the staff liked with handwritten cards.

A lovely indie bookstore! They have a cafe (I think a separate entity?) connected to the main store, so you’ve got a lovely place to sit and read and have some tea- their used selection isn’t as large as primarily used bookstores, and sometimes gets mixed in with the new releases? Worth checking out- they had some neat gems

It is such a luxury to go to a true local bookstore. There is a cafe here where you could bring your laptop and work. It is filled to the brim with books, toys, shirts, gifts, stuffed animals, stickers, keychains, etc. So many local authors are highlighted. Interesting, beautiful books kept jumping into my hands. The quietish hush of a bookstore paired with h the smell of paper was like a retreat on an ordinary day.

They had the “staff picks” in each section which was great!! I kinda wish that the signs for each section were a little big. Sometimes the sign like “fiction” was kinda hidden and I’d not know exactly what aisle I’m in. Overall, a good bookstore with a Lot of good collection, and they do accept used books for store credit! Ps: they also have a cafe and space to sit and read.

Perfect neighborhood bookstore! Bright, friendly, and welcoming vibes. Has an extensive variety of books; nothing too overwhelming, like some bookstores are. Also has a good mix of gifts and trinkets and a quaint and cozy cafe in the back. And not to mention the friendly and knowledgeable staff! Amazing place to get books and/or just browse.
