Cute little local bookshop! Their collection is small but curated. They also have cute book merch like tote bags and bookmarks. They also have a cute trolley cart with free books! I thought that was so nice and gave back to the community. Shop locally here for all your book needs!

Small, adorable bookstore. There is a little open area in the back where you can sit outside. The staff was kind. My book was readily available and I was very giddy! There is a coffee shop nearby and some nice restaurants too! I got a free cute bookmark and some candy on the way out.

I went in with a recommendation request for my 99 yo grandmother who loves to read. I gave them some general parameters (mostly vibes) and they commended the Louise Penny series. I recently got their below text from my grandmother, which demonstrates the knowledge of the staff and quality of the rec. Sarah, I am having the best possible day. I am not dressed yet, have soft jazz playing, and am reading Louise Penny's "The Brutal Telling". This is true contentment. Thank you. 💜💜💜 Great neighborhood bookshop with knowledge staff!
