I appreciate the rose petals on the sidewalk as way finder since it might be tricky to locate the bookstore for first-timers like me. Very cute and warm shop with lots of fun stickers!

I travel a lot for work, and try to visit unique book shops wherever I go. This one was 10/10. A perfect safe place for women and LGBTQ+. Lovely selection, friendly staff, and gorgeous setting. Especially love the special 18+ feature. Very unique. Highly recommend.

Cute, fun and comfortable. They carry all types of romance. You name a romantic setting or pairing and you'll find a book for that. Several spots to relax and read a few pages. The "Vault" is an 18+ area where you'll find things to enhance your own romantic moments.

Pros: Beautiful space. Lovely inventory of books. Really cute gift area. Looks like they have a good community going as well. Loved all the lounge areas. Very instagram worthy. Comfy. Great options for special editions and signed copies. Cons: The name feels kind of…meh as I’m a public librarian. I am tired of being objected with the “sexy librarian trope”. But that’s a personal peeve. The staff wasn’t super friendly but not outright rude. Maybe they were just super busy or exhausted from a rush. I wish there had been an accessible way to get to the second floor. :( so I didn’t get to see the upstairs. Overall 4/5 mainly for the lack of accessibility to second floor.

I love this place! I went after hearing from some family members and have found my new favorite bookstore! Specific notes below! What was Great - the entire vibe was amazing! I love how sex positive this place was and SUPER photogenic!! - I thought there was a decent selection of books and LOVE to see BIPOC and LGBTQ+ options included - the 18+ bunker was great! And so inclusive!! I’ve never experienced something like that and I love it! - the staff was super helpful and thoughtful when asked book recomendaciones What could be better - I noticed a few signs around that explains the “spice level” of the books based on chilli peppers. However, I only saw about 10 books in the entire store that had cards that indicated that. Since this is a spicy book store, I would have loved to see these represented more across the entire store to help me shop. ESPECIALLY since you only get 30 minutes of parking, the road parking was packed. - I think the store could do better to accommodate to the quick shopping that many customers have to do since parking is tricky. Not their fault at all, just an idea.
