Great bookstore with great customer service. I've ordered books from their online website and pick up in-store a week or two later. In addition to books, they have incense, perfume oils, soaps, tonics, shea butter, book-themed socks, tote bags, and more. I love supporting them and last time the shopkeeper guy threw in a free gift! Great place to shop local :)

Absolutely disgusted to see multiple copies of Mein Kampf proudly on display in this half-stocked bookstore. Shame on the owner and anyone who supports this store. Maybe read up on the recent rise in antisemitic hate crimes in this country instead. Sending love to our Jewish neighbors during this dark/hateful time.

Such an incredible book store. We found so many great books, and there was a quality selection to browse through. As you walk in, you're welcomed by books about race, both for adults and young adults. As you move down the store, you'll also find books about nature, self-help, education, biography/memoir and the like. Opposite these shelves is a splendid children's selection filled with diverse and beautiful books. As you make your way back, you'll find things like oils and soaps, t-shirts, and such. The person working today was lovely, and we appreciated the conversation. It's been added as one of our favorites, and we'll be back again.

Nice bookstore. Friendly, professional staff. Wide variety of literature. You also order something and have it sent to the store
