I had a chance to checkout this indie on a spontaneous sunny St. Patrick's Sunday sojourn (3/17/24). Easy peasy free Sunday parking. Warmly greeted upon entry. Wandered the entire length of the retail shop...well appointed seating, some new but mostly used book titles, counter to order menu items, a pocket bar, nooks for seating, try out a manual typewriter, make buttons, or play the piano. Did not buy anything, but thumbed through a French Canadian dictionary from 1958, and enjoyed the fascinating vibe while onsite.

Selection was really well curated and we found something for all ages. Almost everything on the shelf was top rated toys; no junk in here. Whoever stocks this place knows their stuff. Staff super helpful, even checking in the back for something we were looking for. Pricing was fair and saved us a long drive to the mall and let us combine a dinner out. Maybe next time we do a family dinner out and stop by this place after. Glad to see it open! 1st Street needed some fun. Will definitely be back!

Found this cool little bookstore with a very nice selection on old and new books. I'm a fantasy book reader and the selection was great. I found a bunch of old Forgotten Realms books I needed along with a bunch of yellow spine Daw books. Prices were really good with all older books at half cover and anything that fell below $2 was $2. Picked up a stack of 15 at $2 a piece Had the old bookstore vibe that I just love. Could have spent 3-4 hours there but the rest of my group was ready after 30 minutes

It was really cool place. There were a variety of Price points, other media and cute items. There are a variety of new and used books available. They've taken the time to create clear sections with a nice variety. There are even some chairs to kick back in. Just make sure the kitty isn't there first! My husband and I looked around and end up buying five or six books all used in fabulous condition. Inside, there are some seats so you can kinda take a moment to review your book. The service was nicely balanced. We were warmly greeted and because we were in there for a while, asked if there's anything we needed help with for questions on, but mostly left alone to browse. Did I mention kitty cat there? Very chill and gorgeous and friendly. I am very glad we stopped by

Street parking will be your best here and there is a good amount of it around the area. Inside, they have a very spacious setup with books organized nicely by genre. Prices here are very reasonable and their selection is pretty diverse. You could definitely spend a good couple hours here just perusing everything. If you are ever looking for a book in the Seattle area, this spot should be first on your list!

Walking back into this bookstore after 20 years felt like stepping through a portal lined not just…read morewith books, but with pure magic. It's rare these days to find a place that still holds that special, cozy, soul-soothing vibe. The moment you step inside, you're greeted with the familiar, comforting scent of well-loved books (you know THAT smell), and suddenly it feels like you're wandering through your book-loving grandma's personal library, with every shelf telling a story and inviting you to stay a little longer. The atmosphere is quiet, inviting, and warm, and the woman working there couldn't have been more wonderful. She noticed how deeply in the zone I was and graciously let me browse long after closing, no rush, no pressure--just genuine kindness and understanding of what it's like to lose yourself in a place like this. If you're a book lover anywhere in the area, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. Businesses like this are rare treasures, and they deserve all the love and support they can get. It's more than a bookstore--it's an experience you'll want to return to again and again, I know I'll be back!

They have tons of cool events posted on flyers and chalkboards that are worth checking out. I really liked their selection and it's organized really well. I took a couple pictures of books I want to come back for. I just wish the space was a little cozier, though that's not much of something they can help. Personally, I would have a hard time reading underneath the rectangular LED ceiling lights.

Oh my stars! This bookstore.....is simply perfect!!…read more This is honestly the cutest book store I've ever been to. Great place for pictures, affordable great quality second hand books, and oh did I mention it's also a coffee shop. I mean could it get any better? No I don't think it could. I genuinely felt so happy the moment I stepped inside this store. It's just such a beautiful space that feels cozy and inviting. After walking around a bit I went to order a coffee. And I honestly don't think I've ever met nicer baristas in my life! They were all so sweet and kind and helpful! I tried out the fig leaf latte and the autumn tea latte and both were spectacular! Great flavor and smoothness. Overall I love this bookstore and it's well worth the drive! Definitely a hidden gem! I'll be back!!
