Bedlam Book Café is an amazing place! It’s cozy, chill, and full of good vibes. The coffee shop inside makes it even better I had a cappuccino and it was very tasty. The lady at the coffee shop was very professional and nice. I definitely recommend this place!

Great used book store with an interesting collection for fair prices, plus a cool vibe and coffee in the back

I try to support independent bookstores. I have come here several times. Today was a big disappointment. I was looking for The Wild Robot. I asked the cashier/owner where the children’s books where, I looked in the area and I did not see it. I asked her if they had it and she said ‘we do not have an electronic inventory.’ I said ‘that’s fine, can you please help me look?’ And she again said ‘we do not have an electronic inventory’. I asked her to help me look in the shelves and I guess she was too busy because she just told me to ‘browse’. No offer to order it for me, etc. I’ll just get it from Amazon. They really need to be more helpful here. They also should get some more modern children’s books: they seem to mostly have old stuff (a lot of Dr. Seuss) there are a lot of good modern children’s books out there and they are missing out. I honestly expected more from an independent book store, something along the lines of ‘we might not have this book, but have you heard of this other book???!! Similar theme etc..’. Independent book stores need to do more than just ‘not being Amazon’ if they want to have foot traffic and sales.

This is a lovely small bookstore with a cozy cafe to hang out in. Great selection of new and used books--including an interesting collection of travel and foreign language books. Some good deals on unique books and anthologies.

Rude and unhelpful clerk despite an empty store. Wanted used books for holiday events and decided to go elsewhere. Staff in the coffee nook were friendly.
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
