Best collection of books and music I've seen in potentially any physical store. You can find some weird and obscure horror here, which I really appreciate. Pretty much the antithesis of any corporate bookshop. Always a great metal record section too. Staff is awesome.

Wowwowow. Awesome picks and releases, super fun little store to browse. Especially the music and graphic novels sections. Will definitely be coming by again

Very good little book and vinyl shop under the stairs of a larger building. I was drawn to the vinyl crates. They had a good selection of vinyl and it was well organized into genre. I found a couple of albums that interested me and the price was great. Those that I was with also found several books that were of interest.

I didn't know Small Friend existed. I was on my way elsewhere but saw their sign out front and went in curiously. No regrets at all. Great selection of books. Very clean space. Reasonably priced books. Friendly staff.

Great little local book shop. Better book selection than records, in my opinion, but friendly and cute!
