I love Schuler books. They have a great selection of used books along with new, including MANY sale items--something for every budget. I love the carefully curated displays, clean store, and cozy cafe. The new location is HUGE, so I feel like they have everything, but if not, they'll order it for you! Schuler is forever my fave book store.

Super cute and cozy place, the atmosphere felt so friendly and warm! They even have a little coffee place at the corner and this cookie pot they have there caught my eye instantly. Wish I bought it but for sure a good place to look around and browse for anything you'd wanna read

I actually just go here for the pesto artichoke panini in the cafe. Unbelievably good. But books are cool, too, and they have a great used section with fairly new used books. I was going to buy a used book on Jimmy Hoffa but when I looked for it again it had disappeared. True story.

If I want to get a higher quality espresso beverage, breakfast item, or, lite lunch item, I prefer to spend my money here. Their cafe seating area is very spacious and not excessively noisy. They have a nice book selection and gift selection. Ty for accepting cash.

The new location is no where near as bright and comfortable as the old one was, but it is bigger. Excellent selection of books and gifts. I especially like the large used book section. Employees are as hilariously pretentious as ever, some things never change.
