Excellent service - Ella went above and beyond to wrap a book for my nephew’s birthday. Cool, quirky/niche and impactful selection of literature. Highly recommend grabbing a coffee from frgmnt and perusing about

Features some less well known authors, including lots of international authors giving one an insightful look at other cultures. Includes a good selection of poetry. A great place to find books one is not likely to find elsewhere. A nice cafe in the same building is a bonus.

The books here are different from most book stores. As I was reading through book summaries, I realized all of the book options are there with so much intention. I really appreciated that the books are so meaningful. They open people to educate themselves and understand the real world. My gf also bought two books that are really good! Here is a pic of my cat with the book I bought lol.

I’ve enjoyed this book and paper store for years. The space is open and the staff are friendly. Last evening the place was filled with people enjoying a book reading. The entrance is at ground level, so coming and going is easy for people with strollers and wheelchairs. Parking is available but limited. Several parking spots are dedicated at book store patrons.
