My son found this hidden gem as he was looking for some books to read. The Used Bookery is very…read moreunassuming and very unique bc it has a consignment shop with ladies clothes inside it too. You can find books, magazines, textbooks and books for the kiddos! Oddly enough, I wasn't looking for anything but found a book I've been wanting to read for a while now. And it just showed itself! Right there staring right at me near the register! Best $5 I ever spent! Such a fun vibe! The nice lady behind the counter was kind and knowledgeable! Go check it out!

Overall it was a bit chaotic with books everywhere but it adds to the personality of the place. There are a lot of more common authors like Koontz, James Patterson, etc. There was a fair amount of each category and the lady at the desk greeted us and was helpful. I think the prices were fair although I didn't find anything I was specifically looking for (my to be read list is already pretty long)

Stopped in on a Saturday heading back from the beach. I wanted to trade 2 paperbacks and the lovely…read moreclerk said I can choose a paperback for what I brought in. Unsurprisingly, I found a book for my new bookcase. If you have nothing to trade, you can still find great titles here at a really great price. The shop is small, but they have a decent selection of books. Still on my quest for used cookbooks as well. I will keep checking back here for more titles.

My new favorite thing to do when traveling is visiting a local bookstore. This independent book…read moreshop on Carolina Beach has very welcoming staff. Truthfully, the friendly nature and big smile of the employee there was what made this bookshop visit so pleasant. The woman there conversed with all the visitors and tried to help us all find the perfect read. A rare touch in the customer service arena. The store has a small selection of new fiction books, but around three rooms of gently used books as well.

By far the best comic book store I've been to in NC. Downtown Wilmington right across from…read moreBespoke...plenty of street parking to get to. The selection...amazing. Anything you could want and look for: comics (marvel/dc, etc) , graphic novels, manga/anime, funko pops, action figures, a section for kids, Star Wars. The biggest draw are their selection and amount of statues they have. Plenty on display and all for a solid, reasonable price. Some of the Funkos they have in stock were so new that I was able to go ahead and cancel a good amount of pre-orders from other sites/vendors. The staff was very friendly and knew their stuff. I highly, I highly recommend just walking through and browsing even if you're not a big comic person. *they have a brother/sister store right across the street diagonally from them. Plenty of figures, comics, and statues as well but mostly the "nostalgia" pieces.

Well the other half of the cow is on display behind the checkout counter here.... Whatever...Wilmington is a very new addition to the Castle Street district. I was in the neighborhood for the Friday night tasting at Wilmington Wine and noticed the sign for this business and the cow out front so I decided to stop in and check it out. This is cool, new and interesting shop is filled with novelty items, tv memorabilia, vintage items, comics and much much more. I overheard one customer who was super excited about all the Dr. Who items. Great place to get a unique gift for sure and I really hope this business does well here.

Imagine a place where the salt air slows time down to a crawl. Welcome to The White Crab Coffee and…read moreBooks, a slice of coastal heaven nestled right in the town of Topsail. Outside a large patio complete with not only tables and chairs, but those comfy beach chairs that are easier to get into than out of. Inside, the space is a masterclass in "cozy coastal"--it is impeccably clean and free of heavy sand, yet feels entirely shaped by the beach. The shop is small, but it maximizes every inch with towering, built-in bookshelves. The shelves are packed tight with everything from gripping lowcountry mysteries and classic food themed literature to the latest lightweight beach reads. Woven between the books are shelves dedicated to local treasures. The vanilla latte avoids the common trap of tasting like a cup of warm, liquefied sugar. It starts with the rich, buttery warmth of the vanilla aroma, immediately followed by the bold, nutty, and slightly chocolatey spine of the Southern-roasted espresso. It is creamy, perfectly balanced. Cheers!

LunaBelle still has more artists planning on bringing their artwork in the next few weeks. There is a variety, including spider plants, gift knick knacks, jewelry, and different kinds of artwork ranging from end or side tables, wine stoppers, wall pictures, dog bow ties. Some of the artwork has a coastal theme. LunaBelle will post when they receive new artwork on Facebook and Instagram. The only improvement my companions suggests is more lighting or "eternal sunshine" to appreciate the detailed artwork of the artists. This would be a great place to buy a gift and unique artwork. A definite must stop if you're in the area!
