Warm and friendly place to find your next good book! Staff picks are interesting options and the Top 10 display makes me want them all. Creative layout and selections. Not your Big Book Store sameness.

Small but good to find a casual read. Helpful staff and great local flair. Additionally, I really enjoyed the kids’ section.

Truly, what a beautiful space. Located across from an excellent cafe, this bookstore has such an incredible selection of books in every category. More importantly, the folks who work here are such amazing people. Upon checkout, the kind person ringing me up asked about the book I was carrying with me -- Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential". We had a brief yet meaningful connection over it. I have nothing else to say other than thank you. Those small yet impactful connections highlight the best of what it means to be human. If you're looking for a cool bookstore in this area, this is the place to stop in to!

Local bookstore with a good selection. Not as big as some other stores, they still had a good variety of books that seemed interesting to me. It is mostly fiction/literature with lots of staff picks a recommendations. I didn't get anything this visit as they're a discounted new book store and I can't justify spending new book money right now. I did see some interesting titles not in my normal wheelhouse I'll have to pursue on my next visit.
