this is a bookstore

These are Fantastic Bookstores... definitely hidden gems for any booklover living in or visiting Kalamazoo! Make sure to check them out :) P.S. - Ask about their reward program if you'll be a frequent shopper. They also pick a local charity to help every month. Super Cool!

This is one of my absolute favorite places in Kalamazoo. It might actually be my favorite. The atmosphere is welcoming to all, with warm greetings as you walk through the door. Its fun to browse, well organized even with a massive inventory, and if they don't have a book you want, they'll order it for you. I also love the fact that there is a cafe inside so you can walk around with either a coffee mug or a wine glass (filled with Michigan wine) to enhance the visit even more.

One of my favorite spots in Kalamazoo. Great place for a coffee and cafe style snack. Amazing selection of books, puzzles and games. Really important to support our indie booksellers and this one is a must visit.

An extremely thoughtfully curated independent bookshop that is so much more than a store that sells books. It's a welcoming space, a listening ear with keen and creative recommendations, a community. Whether you're headed to the cafe, an event, just browsing, or going next door with the kiddos (or for art supplies!), This is a Bookstore & Bookbug is one of our family's favorite places.
