I ordered a 2 books on Christmas Day as a gift for a friend leaving town in 2.5 weeks. I understand it is a holiday and I tried to have some understanding that the store/warehouse hours were limited and people were at home with their families. I reached out on January 5th about an update, as I hadn't heard anything in 10 days. No tracking number, no email, and no transactions have went through. After I emailed, Joseph Beth ended up commenting on my order that it was recieved at the warehouse and will be shipped promptly. It is now the 9th of January and the shipping label was just created after I reached out about a refund. It's hard to want to support small/local businesses when the experience is like this. I ordered from the publishers tiktok shop on the 1st and it was here by the 8th. Both books were shipped from Austell, GA. AND I payed shipping on the ones from Joseph-Beth, why? To get the books 2-3+ weeks later? It's just disappointing. But the customer service representatives just didn't seem to care.

Great selection, beyond books! Gifts, clothing items, stationery, and a cafe/restaurant. Bonus: fireplace and cozy seating. Robust kids section. Lots of magazines. Helpful staff. Easy to park.

Joseph-Beth Booksellers has been a special place to me since I was a kid, and every visit still feels nostalgic. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a huge selection of books that makes it easy to spend hours browsing. It’s the kind of bookstore that reminds you why physical books matter. The attached bistro has great food and is the perfect spot to relax before, during, or after shopping. A true Cincinnati gem that never loses its charm.

My favorite book store. I have small dinner party at the connected cafe, Brontes. Then guests can enjoy the bookstore at their leisure during the party. The staff are knowledgeable similar to a professional librarian. They host book signings, author discussions, & book clubs. They have a kids area with special area & events. Maureen 2025

Amazing selection of magazines like no place else. Super nice people working there and the dining in the restaurant is amazing too. Always a fun place to buy stocking stuffer at Christmas.

Hyde Park Wine & Spirits, located at 2719 Madison Rd in Cincinnati, offers a broad collection of wines and spirits with competitive prices and a well-organized layout. Reviews praise friendly, knowledgeable staff and open hours around Christmas, contributing to a positive shopping experience. Some customers, however, report early closures and rude interactions, reflecting a mixed service reputation.
