The Book Rack in downtown Ocoee is not only a great place to shop for used books; it's also a great…read moreplace to bring in any of your own used books for credit. You're not only decluttering your house, but you're helping out a small local business. With every book you bring in, you receive credit toward future purchases. I already have more credit than I'll probably ever use, but I'm happy that my previously read books are going to a good home. The store has a pretty decent used book selection with floor-to-ceiling shelving (and also some graphic novels, CDs, and DVDs). It's always hit-or-miss, so each time I go; I never know what I'll find. There's also a little sitting area with coffee or hot cocoa, if you so desire. How much are the used books? They're half off the cover price. How does the credit work? You get an additional half off the half-off price. So if a book has a cover price of $8, the store sells the book for $4. I can use my credit balance for an additional $2 off (half of the $4), leaving the book at a total of $2. There are also some $1 books on a rack outside the store. Everyone working there is always super friendly and helpful.

My best friend and I went on a quest to find bookstores we have not visited before. I saw this one…read moreon someone's instagram stories and was intrigued. First, they have a lot of books. When I first walked in I wasn't even sure where to begin but it was great to be able to browse and see their extensive collection. Staff is very friendly and let us know that they curate their books from donations. If you donate your books to them, they create an account where you can have a credit on file to use. As someone, that occasionally does donate books, this is fantastic news! Additionally, all of their books unless otherwise stated are half off the cover value which is incredible and affordable! They definitely had something for everyone there. I look forward to visiting them again, hopefully with some books to give them!

They have a limited selection of books and I went in without really knowing what I was getting. Their concept of their book store as an immersivd sensory experience is something I hadn't heard of before and was really intrigued by. West was able to assist me and recommended a couple books that happened to be on my TBR. She was very friendly and helpful in guiding me with the experience. Their selection of sensory items were all cute and I ended up choosing a pair of socks, sparkling tea, and a cup. Depending on the genre of the book of your choosing, there is also a playlist that goes along with it. I think it's also awesome that they have a lounge space where they can host events. It's amazing to see the growth of this concept that started out as a subscription box, and now has a brick and mortar here in Orlando. Overall, I think it's a great concept that allows customers the chance to fully indulge and expand their reading experience beyond the pages.

You get a tote bag, a book and a couple of sensory items. The book selection always matches the theme of the month. They recently added a create your own bookmark which is super cute!

I went in on a Saturday and found parking fine. The area was bustling! This book has A LOT. It was a little confusing to figure out where I wanted to go, but I found myself browsing. The mix of books is actually impressive. They have a lot of bookish merch too. I ended up purchasing a book, bookmark and book holder. The service and value were good. This place is a lot of fun and a great stop if you do want to make a day out of visiting the shops and checking out the markets.

They sell used books as well and have a great selection of both games and puzzles. I purchased a few items here last year as Christmas presents. Friendly staff on-site to help with your bookish needs. I look forward to being a regular customer.

Cute little book store inside the Town Center mall. There is something for everyone here and it not…read morea bunch of filler you might see at other book stores in the area. We found some beautiful old Bibles, some classic literature, some really cool folklore books, great books on Florida, and my personal favorite, music books. Today I picked out two piano books filled with Christmas songs. Pricing here for these old books are a bit high in my opinion. The one book, 23 pages was priced at $7 and the other, 32 pages was priced at $10. I can usually find these for about $4-$5 each at thrift stores because they are not in high demand. I can't complain too much because when I asked the owner, Doug, for a discount he did give me $4 off, which was wonderful. There were a lot of other music books mostly for guitar that I could see spending a little more money on because they're original prices around $20 to $25. I also found a J.S. Bach Bible of music which intrigued me; however, there was no fingerings and it was missing indications of expression present in several of the books In my library, so I decided to hold off on purchasing that one. What's unique about this store when comparing to other book stores in the area is at this store makes binding repairs and performs leather work, which is a plus. I'm sad to say that this was my first time here today. I had no idea that Doug has been running the store for 14 years now. Regardless, I will definitely return next time I'm shopping in the area.

Amazingly curated book shop. It is rather small, but I'll put it out there that there is probably…read morenot a bad book in the place. There is a little bit of everything, and the 10-20 books available of a type/topic are going to be special. No filler here. There is also an awesome collection of non-book items - art, prints, collectibles, etc. and you're sure to find something cool. It is, however, unfortunate that it's near a play area of a shopping mall. Depending on the day and time, the screams can get a bit over-the-top. The owner is great guy - knowledgeable, friendly, and pleasant - and he rightfully has pride about his stuff. He will leave you alone until you pay probably, or initiate conversation. The place is very organized - lots of common sense labelling. If you're terrified of those messy book stores with stacks on the floor that requires rummaging, this place is the opposite of that. Wide variety of topics for such a small spot. I only wish it was bigger! Very well-done though.

There is definitely a fantasy /…read moredark academia theme to the Black Rabbit, so I would highly recommend a visit if that is your jam. Friendly baristas and coffee with extra charm, very small section with tables to lounge, read, and enjoy. I was slightly disappointed in the small amount of bookish merchandise, but then again it is a rather small store. I hope to stop by again if I am in the area in the future!

Bella, where have you been Loca?!…read more For the people who want good matcha and a good coffee. This is your place. The environment was spooky/dark themed, which I enjoyed. While inside there was a wax candle making class which looked real fun. The woman with the black hair(sorry I didn't get your name) was so kind and helped me out as a first timer at the Black Rabbit. She made for me a Cereal Killer Matcha, and it was amazing. My partner got Jacob's Latte, and it was made so good. For a sweet treat we got a dirt pie and let me tell you, my inner child was excited. I also got a matcha brownie, which was also delicious. Check this place out!

This is my new go to spot when in search of devotionals. I love atmosphere, the people who helped me with my purchase and the easy accessibility of coffee. I didn't get a chance to partake in the coffee, but next time, I will stop by for a treat! By the way, this is currently, the ONLY Christian bookstore in this county! Stop by, grab a coffee and read a book. Also, they offer great purchases if you're on a budget!

Needless to say, I am happy and excited that this bookstore opened. Unfortunately, the bookstore is pretty small with limited selection. However, the shop is clean and the staff friendly. They also offer a variety of classes. This bookstore is in the same shopping center as the First Oriental Food Market and Sun Pearl Bakery. This area is starting to take shape of a mini Chinatown. It's a must visit place for me everytime we do a weekend trip to Orlando. Have a meal, buy some bakeries, some groceries, and browse the bookstore!
