This such a cool local bookstore in East Nashville. They have an incredible selection of literary fiction and are attached to a great coffee shop, too! The booksellers are friendly and knowledgeable. When I travel, I have a general rule that when you've found a great local bookstore, you've also found the best neighborhood in town, too. This is certainly true for The Bookshop and East Nashville! Highly recommend!
I love this book store in East Nashville! The space is smaller than I’d like - it can sometimes get crowded real quick if there are a handful of other people in there. But it is truly a gem and very well stocked with a lot of great books from different genres. The staff is always so helpful in checking inventory and ordering books for you. I’ve also done a pre-order for book releases and had a fantastic experience - 20x better than Amazon. I love supporting local bookstores and this is one of the best.
Quaint little shop that had a flavor of its own. It's a bit small but has a lot of thought put I to it. I found several books of interest here without much difficulty. I also loved the stickers, buttons, and accessories - pure joy for book lovers! It's also wonderful that it is connected to a coffee shop next door. After finding a book, you can slide right over to the coffee shop and start reading. What's not to love? This was a delightful find.
Absolutely loved this bookshop! A small space with a big vibe! There's a cafe next door so you can buy a book then read with a latte!
The Bookshop is small but mighty. There were honestly so many books I had on my list ranging from new books to classics and some poetry as well. They even had some blind date with a book options I was tempted by. I appreciated that she let us browse and really take our time. There was chill music and a cafe next door as well. Highly recommend!
