Horrible experience. The old lady at the front was pushy and mean. The store hadn't closed yet, but she ushered our children out. She kicked them out, and told them to 'come back in when your parents can pay'. This place is NOT child friendly. Do not come here if you have children aged anywhere from 9 to 13. We came here TWICE, and gave the place a 2nd chance, but nothing changed. Would give this place zero stars if I could

The proprietor was very helpful and friendly. Some new but mostly used books. I purchased Dream Angus by Alexander McCall Smith. And reading it now.

I love this little nook 💓 I was after two particular books from my past. I phoned this hidden gem and they had both of the books I wanted! I was even more excited at the price! I could have stayed all day just looking...

Last year, my first time been in this store was with my European friend, then again same year I was recommended this store by my best friend. Honestly, I really enjoyed the books I got which relate to Nile river and also NYC travel. I feel really grateful to be able to have a quick chat with the lovely lady, and to give my books to the store this afternoon. Because I hit traffic, so I only got there just about 5pm, so grateful … Anyways, I will visit again after I return back the Coast next time, and I hope more people can visit here and find what they want to read …

This quaint little book store is definitely worth a visit. It has a terrific and up to date range of a wide variety of books. The owner is really friendly as well as helpful as are her staff. It’s tucked away in an arcade on Janes Street. Just look for the yellow Social Brew sign and it’ll be there. They also have a cool buy and points system where you can exchange your used books for a discount which increases as your book returns do.
