It’s always been my favorite. Lots of cute stuff and a variety of stationery to choose from. They have the cutest notebooks. But the staff are not that welcoming which is disappointing. I wish they were more friendly and gave clear directions or being helpful when we couldn't find something.

Pretty good. This place a good selection of books, I like the amount of Godzilla merch hidden around this place, great addition, Godzilla is the best after all. Besides that there are a few figures up stairs, ok selection up there, wasn't expecting it from a book store but idk what to except this was the first time going to a store like this. Crazy amount of pens too. I would like to see more green hair anime character figures though, that would be cool. No idea.

I visited this store a few Saturdays ago and loved the vibe and book selection, absolutely stunning. However, the employee with short blue hair was rude. I’ve worked in retail and would never show annoyance toward a customer, especially when it takes the same energy to be kind. My partner even apologized twice for standing in front of the line and moved quickly, yet we were still treated like we just killed your cat or something….. Otherwise great experience and selection!

Great bookstore. My granddaughters favorite place to go. So much to see. We spent about an hour inside just looking at everything. Then we went upstairs..even more stuff. She bought a book and 2 pens. I would definitely recommend this bookstore. We will be back.
