Joy and Matt's Books is such a cute little haven in downtown! The owners are always so kind and knowledgeable about their selection. They've ordered books for me when they didn't have in store and notified me quickly when it arrived. Great price, service, and atmosphere!

I loved this bookstore! Nice relaxing environment, and much bigger than it looks from the outside. The employees were so kind and gave great recommendations. Will definitely be back.

When I visit a new-to-me city, I try to find a local, independent bookstore and purchase a book. I was wandering around Vine Tuesday afternoon, having just arrived in Cincinnati and looking for lunch, and fortuitously stumbled upon Joy & Matt’s. The store is so cute and welcoming, and the bookseller who helped me, I believe it was Joy, was friendly and knowledgeable. She made the perfect recommendation for me. I think people, myself included, sometimes forget how many treasures bookshops have to discover and what wonderful resources a good bookseller is in helping you discover them.

Such an awesome bookshop! Chock full of books, super friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere. My kid was pumped to get a cool indie book that was on display and we wouldn’t have encountered otherwise.
