What an adorable bookstore - and the bookstore cat, Huckleberry! He was so friendly and cute. This store has a wide collection of new books, and the staff is great at helping you find what you're looking for or ordering specific books for you. They do a lot of fun local author events and sidewalk sales!

My fave bookstore! Diverse selection both in genre and in representation. Great selection of BIPOC, queer, and female authors. They’re also very supportive of ALL communities, so I always feel safe going there and going to their events. I order all my books through them and they get them in store just as fast as the big stores and Amazon do, plus I’m helping a small woman owned business out vs a billionaire who doesn’t actually care about selling books and helping communities. Oh and their membership benefits match (and IMO exceed) big book realtors benefits for less of a cost.

Best indie bookstore! Always a great selection of new novels, staff (including Huckleberry the store cat) are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they are always hosting the coolest events. I could spend all day browsing!

I do not know the book store owner personally, but I have to give credit where credit is due. She has created and fostered such a great atmosphere for reading in this community! Between special events, book clubs, and keeping a great stock of books— I will go nowhere else for my book needs! I always feel welcomed and appreciated when I walk in those doors! As well, she has a bright and beautiful smile :) please keep this store going for my child to grow up with!

Super cute and friendly bookstore! Huckleberry the cat was so cuddly and sweet which my daughter loved. Lots of great books to check out, including ones that had been on my reading list for awhile. Lots of fun little notebooks, bookmarks, trinkets and gifts available here too. I'll be back!
