Small bookstores like these give me so much faith and hope for the community and the children in it. The staff is very kind and there is something, whether that be a book, toy, or office supply, for everyone. I bought a comic collection book, and I’ve yet to try their coffee and treats. Shop here instead of giving your money to Amazon!
Quaint little spot filled with childrens books to buy. Nice area to have a group meeting or to meet with friends. Enjoy hipster type coffees.
Most adorable cool graphic novel store ever!✨ the owner is so sweet! And then their new cafe area has great lattes made with FRESH syrup. Fav book store :3
Hands down the best graphic novel bookstore in St. Louis. Friendly knowledgeable staff - brightly lit - convenient location and and inspiration to walk into. If you’re new to comics or know exactly what you want to- this is the place for you. In a great neighborhood as well with lots of great coffee and restaurant options. Get some comics and then grab a coffee and have a perfect afternoon. They even have a great little selection of zines and books for kids.
An excellent boutique store featuring graphic novels, manga, western comic trades, and a very healthy collection of child and young adult books. If you're looking for a healthy stock of western comic trades beyond DC/Marvel, like Image, Dark Horse, etc., you'll probably find it here. Would recommend folks come check out what's on offer and you might find something unique, like the graphic novel version of Hamlet or Les Miserables!
