    Scuppernong Books is an independent bookstore in Downtown Greensboro. It is located inside a…read morebuilding built in 1898. The building served as a feed-and-seed store, a record store and a used-appliance store. The bookstore opened in 2013, and its extensive renovation preserved the exposed brick walls and the high pressed-tin ceilings. They added hand-carved bookcases. The walls are olive green, and the original windows let in plenty of natural light. The store was named after the scuppernong grape, the North Carolina state fruit. The store's "fox and grape" motif, visible on its signs and literature, is also a nod to Aesop's fables. The bookstore is cozy and welcoming, with areas to lounge and even a seating bar at the front of the store. The bookstore carries new and used books, with a good variety. You will find banned books and many about social justice. The store has stood up to censorship. The genres are clearly marked, and it is easy to browse and shop. They even have staff picks with reviews. I like that North Carolina authors are featured. The store partners with other local businesses. The cafe has coffees, teas, wines and craft beers. They have pastries from Loaf Bakery and Swedebread. The sandwiches are from Jerusalem Market. The specialty teas come from Vida Pour Tea. Service here is welcoming, helpful and low-pressure. They let you browse without following you around so you can take your time and explore. I highly recommend visiting Scuppernogg Books if you are looking for a local business to support or just like visiting old buildings. In the digital age, it is so nice to connect with others and actually browse the shelf to find my next read. I loved the banned books, as I am always curious as to what they don't want me reading.

They have a small cafe area and large book selection new and used. They are serious about books and have an awesome inventory. Not a chain. I got two children's books for the grand kids.

    There are two problems with this location…read more First, the bathrooms have no ventilation and no attempts are made to cover/fight smells. If someone uses the bathroom and doesn't flush right away the horrid smell suffuses the room in a stomach churning smell that frequently drifts out into the hall. Sometimes you can smell the bathrooms 10 feet away. It's always been like this and it's inexplicable to me why they haven't done anything about it. The second problem is in the cafe. In our society where everything is driven by things they need to be plugged in, it's a mystery to me why there are are no plugs in the cafe. I think each side has one two plug setup and that is it. I'm really surprised they haven't just done a refresh on the whole area as it looks very run down and ratty. It would be a good excuse to add in the outlets and charging stations.

    Honestly I really love Barnes & Noble and this location is no different. You can always get books…read morecheaper on Amazon but I love supporting actual bookstores & I want them to stick around. This location has a great selection and parking is really easy. I have the premium membership which is a little pricey but i buy books so often, it makes it worth it because I've gotten so much money back in rewards. They're open until 9 which is really nice because some local bookstores close earlier. It's a nice place to go browse books and find unique covers or books with sprayed edges. They also have so many board games so it's fun to come pick out a few games for a game/date night. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because almost every time I've been in here, the customer service has been mediocre. Unfortunately if you go in an hour or so before closing, the employees will rush you and remind you that they're closing. I've also heard employees loudly complaining about other customers there which I think is unprofessional. This isn't my favorite location just because of the customer service but I'll still continue to support it (and other local bookstores) because they have a great selection and I love shopping in an actual bookstores
