If you're looking for a specific DVD or game just ask for some help, the staff is super friendly and has a database to search for those hard to find gems. The store is nice and clean, unlike other trade stores I've been too. It's a safe environment that I would be fine bringing my children into to look around.

The greenhouse seating area is so nice, lots of tables, outlets, wifi, and a quiet calm place to read or study/work from home! The natural lighting is insane. I just got an iced americano which was delicious. Free parking lot and entrance in the back. I think they also have fun events here you can keep an eye out for. I wish this was here when I lived here!!!

Lovely spot for a study spot or a friends hang. Lots of people were doing laptop work. A few…read morefriends were catching up while doing some water color painting in the beautiful greenhouse.

This bookstore has lots of new releases, lgbtq books, books about social justice issues, as well as a young readers section. They have three different book clubs that they host- new best sellers, sapphic book clubs, and birding book club! So cool!

[Out of Towner Review]…read more If a bookstore felt like a HUG, this would be it! I loved visiting this special independent bookstore in Grand Rapids. I love when you walk in you are greeted with the 100 Banned Books to peruse through. I love a business that highlights banned books, as all booksellers should be doing this year. Although I felt like the selection was limited, I wasn't upset with this store. It just took me a little longer to find a book to purchase. I loved all the knickknacks (stickers, bags, etc) they had to shop from. The kind bookseller was helpful when I asked for help. She was completely open to offering suggestions, but I felt capable of finding something else. She was extremely kind and engaging with the few patrons that were in the store. Since I this was my first time here, I was taking it all in. The kid section was really cute and the layout is easy to shop. I enjoyed the staff picks and layouts of the different sections. They are on the smaller side, so I wouldn't expect to show up and find every single top book on the market. But there are PLENTY that I found enjoyable and enough to purchase two books! Small town charm, but make it books!

They check all the boxes - They do it right! Recommended!

I absolutely love wandering in Vault of Midnight and coming in for little gifts for my friends!…read moreIt's a bit overwhelming to try and find something if you're not a big comic book or graphic novel enthusiast but even as someone who appreciates it, you can ask the staff at any point and they will be more than happy to provide recommendations or point you in the right direction. I've never gone wrong with purchasing a gift here and I definitely will come back. They even have a punch card for loyalty which is amazing. Parking is a little tough since it's right on Monroe Center and street parking but I haven't had a big issue. I'm a huge fan overall and encourage people to stop in if they haven't!

They have comics, graphic novels, manga, board games, blind boxes, and some ttrpgs and trading cards. The staff are always incredibly helpful and kind and will definitely help give you a recommendation based on what you like. I love the area in the front with self-published and local zines. It really is a small gesture but shows an effort to uplift and platform the local community and creatives. This location is definitely smaller than the other I visited, but there's still so much to find! There are several other stores along the street as well as the Art Museum, so it's a great place to stop by on a day out!
