A really quality space for book lovers. The layout is cozy and welcoming, as it the decor and coffee bar. There are many books to peruse, plus a kid's section. There are gifts for book lovers and some local crafts available to purchase. There is a gift wrapping table for making your gift ready to present. The manager is very courteous and friendly, and the coffee is roasted in MD. There were sandwiches and pastries and a selection of cold drinks available. If I were to open a bookshop-cafe, I would want it to be exactly like Wyrd Bookstore. 'Wyrd' as in the old English word meaning fate, destiny, event, or condition, and pronounced as 'word' or 'weird' according to the internet.

Stumbled upon this place by accident since am not from the area, and loved it. Coffee is amazing, staff welcoming. Great selection of books. Recommended.

A beautiful, cozy and pleasant place to relax with a coffee and a book. Extensive selection of fiction and nonfiction with modern as well as classic titles. Lovely and inviting children's corner.

This is my favorite bookstore! I only buy books from small independent bookstores and this one is amazing. It has a beautiful ambiance and atmosphere and amazing book selection. They can order a book for you if they don't have it. Their barista is awesome, get the decaf latte! My favorite thing about this bookstore is how they bring the community together with bookclubs, author signings, music nights, and more. Edgewater needed a place for community badly. I am in a bookclub with Wyrd and have met some really awesome people that I never would have met. I can't recommend this bookstore enough! Support local independent bookstores instead of Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Wyrd was a cute little bookstore! We went on a Sunday and the three of us were excited to pick up some stuff on our lists we'd been hoping to read. Unfortunately, while they had 4 or 5 whole bookshelves for YA books, a whole corner for fiction, plenty of cook books, a kids section, and lots of classics, they only had a half book shelf for Scifi and Fantasy together, most of which was just Lord of the Rings sets hidden behind a chair. I know they can't have everything since space is so limited, mostly I want others to not go in and be surprised or disappointed. We ended up not getting any books at all and just enjoying drinks instead. There was a lot of seating to just hang out and relax which was really cool, even though we didn't get any books we liked hanging out. I got a rose tea drink which was good but VERY hot. It was a nice afternoon out browsing and enjoying tea, but I don't think we'll be back, there are just closer coffee shops and closer bookstores that carry stuff we're looking for.
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
