Love the selection, friendly staff, & space dedicated to New Orleans artists. Be sure to explore upstairs & take advantage of their loyalty program!

Wonderful new and used book shop with two floors, a great selection, and a cat! Very large section of local books and works by artists in NOLA. The staff was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. I picked up some Hemingway today, but saw four or five other books that I’ll need to purchase next time I come. This is what bookstores should be (not big box stores) and Blue Cypress fits perfectly in a beautifully eclectic neighborhood.

This is one of those rare galaxies - sort of Harry Potter of a place-- fanciful, bright. There is a cat,a squirrel in a shopping cart.

Blue Cypress Bookstore is an amazing bookstore! I moved to New Orleans a year ago and this store is quickly becoming my “third place”. The vibe is cozy and comfy. The selection is great, with titles both popular & obscure. If you can’t find the book you’re looking for the staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating, they’ll go so far as to fill out an online order for you! Since we are on the subject of the staff, they are welcoming and extremely knowledgeable, and also willing to yap about their favorite authors or books! Another feature that sets Blue Cypress Books apart is their every rotating selection of second hand books! BCB has a program in which you can trade in your books (guidelines listed in their site) for store credit to be used on other second hand books in the store! All in all a wonderful, unique indie bookstore that makes you feel welcome as soon as the bell above the door jingles.
