What a lovely bookstore. The staff were very friendly and they had such a great curated selection with a lot of variety. It’s small but they have many books to choose from which was a nice surprise!

Super cute local bookstore in Falmouth with a VERY diverse selection. I found a black horror anthology I hadn't seen in stores before that I've been looking for forever my first time in here. Returned multiple times to browse the great book selections and cute stationary.

The most perfect independent bookshop in the sweetest little town! I stopped here twice during my time on the Cape. It has something for everyone, including a kid’s section with local books.

I really don’t understand the positive reviews on this place. It’s nice, cute but terrible selection of books. I can’t speak for the children’s side but the adult store has an extremely limited selection. It was more like someone’s private selection of books. It was the opposite of diverse. I really don’t get it. I bought a history book there last year but now there is nothing like that on the selves. It’s a VERY small selection.

A must-visit whenever I'm in Falmouth. So popular that they split the books into 2 stores (one for adults and one for kids). The kids' store is always stocked with treasures that you won't get on Amazon or in chain bookstores -- lots of lovely books for all ages and unique gifts like stickers, pencils, stuffies -- you name it. Super fun shopping experience with attentive, friendly staff!
