I had such a lovely experience here! The woman and man working were both incredibly helpful in assisting me with locating a book, there were SO many good books for sale, the used books were so inexpensive, there’s a collection of records, games & other fun stuff, the atmosphere was so laidback- even strangers were chatting quietly together, and I walked out with several new treasures for about $11. Can’t beat that! What a gem of a place, I hope they are fruitful for years and years to come. A must stop!

I and my kids absolutely love this bookstore. They are so inviting and really know their books! They don't make you feel overwhelmed or try to push you to buy anything. 100% only book store i will shop at anymore!!

I don't normally leave reviews but this is based on several visits and reading other reviews with responses. After several trips in,in the attempt to support a small business, I won't ever return. 1. The owner is great. However, the older lady who is sometimes there or every time I've gone in, is not. She has a terrible attitude like she doesn't even want or enjoy being there. If you don't, then don't come in. Her attitude when asking any kind of question is rude and condescending. 2. They are simply overpriced. I have purchased several new books there, gone somewhere else, and found them significantly less also brand new elsewhere. There's no price comparison. 3. And last but not least. The response to some of the low reviews on here is also rude. There's zero accountability when people are telling you what's wrong. That isn't taking it and growing, that's just blaming the person for stating their issue. Anyway, overall I do hope they make it as a business because it may be for some people, but after multiple experiences that were the same and giving it another shot, I can say I won't be returning.

This is not like any other bookstore, when I first walked in, the atmosphere was amazing, very comfortable, clean, organized place, the staff not only helpful, but easy conversation, not just yes sir and no sir, and staring at their phone's, I definitely recommend people to just stop in and check it out.
