This was the cutest little bookshop ever! Totally worth the stop. The back terrace was a gorgeous surprise and the perfect place to relax and read . Definitely a gem! And the owner was so friendly!

Great little book store. Got my wife a couple of books as a present for our anniversary. They had exactly what I was looking for and at a reasonable price. Their outdoor reading area outback is gorgeous and quiet. Definitely recommend.

It was absolutely beautiful and the lady who owns the store is extremely sweet, helpful, and welcoming to everyone. The cat also followed me around the store asking for pets which was adorable. When you think of a cozy bookshop, this place will come to mind.

Not as friendly and welcoming to new customers as I thought they would be. The girl was younger though I’m sure the owner is great. I was excited to finally check this place out and support local. Super bubbly and friendly to the people in front of me and I was excited to ask to order a book that I couldn’t find but was met with essentially the cold shoulder and silence so I didn’t proceed as I felt I was wasting her time. The most talking to me she did was tell me the total. Cute place though, only place in town that had what I was looking for. Will definitely be back because that’s not really a dealbreaker, just disappointing. Just wanted to say if you’re more on the anxious side and are working towards finally coming in maybe come later in the day? I hear good things about the owner being welcoming when she’s there.
