I'd give 10 stars if I could! We always have a wonderful time at the Black English Bookstore. The staff is always very helpful, professional, and fun. Everything is always neatly organized and they always have a good variety of interesting books for all ages to enjoy. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Excellent book shop with a wide variety of books, bookish merch and more, the flow of the store felt bright and inviting, its the perfect little book nook to stop into. The woman working was extremely kind and knowledgeable. While we didnt special order anything she did assure us if there was something out there she didnt have she could get it! It would be great if we lived local but unfortunately are over 2 hours away or i would have! We briefly exchanged our love for greek and mythical literature which was fun, its nice to see employees and owners who love what they do and take passion in the products they carry! Definitely the right place to visit if youre wanting to shop small and support local businesses who take pride in what they do instead of pouring into big box companies!

I went in today with my big brother and the young lady who helped us out was just amazing. She mentioned it was her 2nd day but it felt like she has been there forever the way she made us so comfortable and with the recommendations she offered. I will 10/10 be coming back and sending some friends over as well. It’s so beautiful to see such an amazing establishment in my home town!!!

The owner of this fine bookstore is our new Tampa Councilwoman Gwen Henderson. What a warm welcome I was given on a Sunday afternoon drive. As I sat on her couch and chatted, lovely customers were busy shopping for books and jewelry. I appreciated the easy disability access and parking too. Great addition to the neighborhood and I will be back.
