The owners are super kind and welcoming. They’ve got a great selection of books, all in excellent condition, and everything is well organized so it’s easy to browse. The vibe is chill- nice music playing in the background (I definitely Shazammed a few songs while I was there). One of my favorite touches is that they ask to take a picture of you with your book purchases to post on Instagram- such a cool, personal detail. Parking was easy to find on a Friday morning. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.
