I’m grateful the bookworm exists. To have the option to buy new books from a local shop is a rarity now! Their selection is excellent and while I wouldn’t think of myself as someone with mainstream reading tastes (if such a thing exists) they almost always have whatever copy in whatever genre I’m looking for and if they don’t the ordering doesn’t take long and won’t cost you extra. Within steps of a great cafe as well ☕️📖

I absolutely love coming here whether it's to shop for something or just to look around and enjoy being in the presence of books! The selection of books is great, and I can always find something that i want to take home with me. I especially love the children's area, and they even offer story times. And along with books, they sell a ton of other products, including puzzles, home decor journaling supplies, skin care items, and so much more. I was a little disappointed in the lack of the magazine selection and they were out of a couple of things that we would have purchased had they been available.

Amazing book store. Great selection of books, gifts, natural relaxing items such as organic soaps and body oils. Authors come into the store for book signings and Q & A for their latest publications. There is places to sit and read and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

A friendly, neighborhood bookstore with books for everyone's tastes. Stopped by close to closing to check it out and felt very welcomed and unhurried. Bought a couple books and enjoyed the atmosphere!
