Parthenon Booksellers

My friend and I were visiting Syracuse and we came across this bookstore. We truly enjoyed walking through the store, and there is so much life in this store. The staff were lovely and had such insightful recommendations. I just wish they were able to have more books that we could peruse.

Great little bookstore. Nicely curated collection with a spotlight on local artists. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, willing to help with recommendations. I didn’t try the coffee, but it sure smelled good!

Diverse and well-curated selection of books! Surprising number of signed editions and fun staff pick categories on display. Used books are designated with a dot sticker on the spine, and the pricing is very fair. It doesn’t take long to make it through the store, the setup is very spacious, and it would probably be easy to navigate during busy times. I visited right when they opened and had a nice browse, bought 2 books.

fun indie bookstore and i enjoyed the creative touches in the artwork displayed as well as ways that the staff interact with the customers by having personalized recommendations on the shelves. not a five star because the staff wasn’t particularly friendly or interested in helping, the prices were expensive, and there wasn’t a lot of variety in the books themselves.
