What a joy to have an independent bookstore in Farmington again! I've visited this shop countless times since it opened, and every visit is so wonderful. The staff are friendly and helpful, the selection of books is excellent, and the vibes are just so good. I love the community puzzle table and the used book section! On the occasion I've been looking for something that wasn't in stock, I appreciate how easy it is to order books either in person or over the phone. I've also sold used books a few times, and that has been a seamless, easy process. A wonderful bookstore!!
Came today for the first time and fell in love with the place! So cute and cozy. Had a great selection of books. Loved the sign out front! Can’t wait to come back.
I simply cannot express enough how much I loved this book store! The location is great, the building is gorgeous (with a cozy layout inside), they have a nice area to sip tea or coffee while doing a puzzle, the kids area is large and fun, and everything was organized so well! They sell a lot of cute items that aren't books (stickers, book wallets, toys). I really hope to visit Michigan again. This book store is one I will visit again when I do!
I’ve been here a few times now and the staff is always friendly and the store is clean and organized! Fun place to walk around with your complimentary coffee that they offer. Fantastic section for kids too. I enjoy following their Instagram account because they post what new releases they have every Tuesday! Happy to have this bookstore near me.
