While in Rochester last month for the first time to visit family, my sister took me to this bookstore and I absolutely loved it. I loved the way it was organized with different themed displays, the selection of the books, and the sweet homey vibe. The sticker selection is *incredible*. Truly, I had to make serious choices on which stickers to buy. The person at the check out was lovely and really personable. I really look forward to returning to this shop one day! Couldn’t recommend it more.

Great little store with plenty of books, gifts , stickers, and even a few small games. Go here before shopping on Amazon for Christmas as there a ton of great gift ideas. Especially great if you love Tolkien.

Awesome shop! I am reading a book I bought from there right now, they have a great selection! Can't wait to visit again next time in Rochester. Also, very happy that they chose to stand with Minnesota on 1/30 as part of the national strike. I love businesses that align with my values! ❤️

I am in love with this place! It’s a charming bookshop and gift store selling all sorts of items and has something to look at in every tiny corner. I spent hours here, I lost track of time looking at everything. The book selection is also excellent and you can tell time and care goes into curating. If there’s anything you’re looking for, it’s here. It’s also a really cozy/comfortable atmosphere, and also LGBTQ+ safe space. The owner is also wonderful! My new favorite bookshop, will be coming back on a regular basis.

One of the best Rochester area indie bookstores. Their collection of fiction, nonfiction, and children’s books is impressive for their size. I love the curated collections and my son loves picking up books and toys when he visits.
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
