Fantastic book store with a great selection of genres and a very welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed the recommendations from the owner and left with more books than we planned on! Can't wait to come back.

Honestly the best collection of books I've ever seen in one place. Staff is lovely and makes great recommendations, events are very chill, this is a great addition to the community and I hope they're around for a long time. The gaming lounge downstairs with rentable tabletop games is a hidden gem.

A Very cozy hidden gem! I highly recommend this place. It's like a library but also has gaming. At the bottom of the building. I also felt like I was going to museum as they have local artists on display. The atmosphere in the music is just so relaxing. Fun for the whole family. And I can't wait to go back!

One of my fave book stores. If they don’t have what you are looking for, they will order it for you! Always an event going on and wonderful people ☺️

Love the atmosphere, great service always to help in any questions. Is a small place but comfortable to stay to read and purchase a book you are interested to know more about.
