This bookstore was bigger than I thought. It even has a downstairs for kids. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I needed help finding a book and all I did was say the title, and the employee went straight to it. There were 2 versions that she showed me and even told me the prices. This is definitely a bookstore worth checking out in LIC!

Cute bookstore with a solid selection of staff picks, multiple genres and popular titles. They also have a good selection of gifts and bookmarks and socks, etc. The entire downstairs is a children’s section that’s broken out by age very nicely. Overall a great indie bookstore!

Loved finding this little gem as I am new to the area! The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. They had a great selection of books! I enjoyed the bargain books and the Blind Date With A Book. I also really loved the tote bags and cute little finds by the register. I purchased a few books and a puzzle. I will definitely be returning!

Lovely children’s book and toy section downstairs, with a great selection to browse. We especially enjoyed the cozy reading area where story time was held this morning, read by a very friendly staff member. Plenty of toys and books to keep little ones entertained, and a welcoming vibe overall. A perfect spot for families!

This is our go-to book store. Good variety, great service, and a huge kids' section downstairs. Plus, they do story hours for kids on the weekends, which is a nice free activity on days when it's too gross to play outside. I'm a big fan of their gift-wrapped book section, where you buy a book not knowing what it is (there are clues written on the wrapping). It's a fun way to try something new. And I've found their staff picks section genuinely helpful when I'm buying gifts for people with different taste than me! So happy this store is part of the community.
