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.

Some books have been harder to find as of recent, but I knew Scuppernong would not let me down. I placed my order online, and they sent me an email when it was ready to pick up in store. I was kindly greeted at the front door, and had my book within a minute. I did take an extra few seconds to wander the rest of the store, as it is such a lovely space. The sense of peace and calm the store has to all who enters cannot go unnoticed. I left with my required book in hand, and a smile on my face.

I haven't actually been to this bookstore in person, but I ordered a hard-to-find copy of poems…read morethrough Amazon from this seller, and they blew me away. Not only did they mail it quickly, but they sent a personalized note and a free copy of another book by the same poet as a gift, which was so unexpected and such a nice surprise. I order from Amazon a lot since it's all too easy, but I would always choose to shop from small, local stores whenever possible, and I'm so glad that I was able to support this bookstore despite not even living in the same state. I can only imagine that visiting this bookstore would be an amazing experience -- a store run by people who truly appreciate good literature and take the time to share what they love. If I'm ever in Greensboro, NC, I will be sure to stop by and spend some time there. Thank you, Glenwood Books!

There were a lot different things that would be great gifts or treats for yourself. Stickers, bags, post cards, pens, and lots of other items. The prices were good for the products.

They have a great menu including seasonal offerings. I believe the drink I got was called the "Sweet Madeline," it was a lavender cookie cold brew and absolutely delicious. I can't stop thinking about it. They have booths offering a variety of wares from local vendors - candles, goat milk soap, trendy clothing, jewelry, Christian books, trucker hats, so fun to browse the shop while sipping delicious coffee. Great place for gift shopping.

Some what of a musty smell. There was a cashier at the counter as I walked in, but there was no greetings. I walked through, I believe all, or almost all of it. It is a large sort of warehouse area. It was very cold inside. I thought their prices were waaaaay too high. Yes, somethings maybe vintage, a lot isn't, yet they want more than if you bought the items new. I would recommend walking through as you might find a unique item you haven't seen elsewhere, however, I would not go back myself.

This place is MASSIVE, so much bigger than I was expecting with all kinds of treasures to find in every corner. The staff greeted us in as we arrived, but left us on our own to explore. Set up as individual vendor booths, some are amazing some not so much, but everywhere you look, you're sure to see something fun, unique, or full nostalgia. I saw many items I remember either having as a child or seeing and my grandparents houses, but also some truly cool items. We've got a short list of items we're debating over, just trying to find the space for them. Pricing varies greatly from space to space and item to item, but overall, I think it was reasonable. You're bound to find something for anyone's taste here. Because of the size we didn't even get through it all, so will be going back again soon to see what more we can find.

Part of the store seems to be a normal store, with the other half possible, consignment, or rented spaced, as it's broken up into small booths.

Staff was friendly, and greeted us upon entry, letting us know if we had any questions, or needed any help to let them know. Good place to check out if you're looking for some fun, and unique decor.

The basement usually some good deals, and there's always some delicious mid-century items (even if they are usually out of my price range). I do visit other consignment shops but find things here more often than at others'. Last time I went, the second half of the store seems to be some "booths," sort of like the Design Archives on Front Street. I didn't like some of those items as much - not necessarily to my taste - but I still browsed, and I think that makes the store more enjoyable for people with all kinds of asethics. And thank you to the owner for recommending some upholsterers! I'm slowly amassing a house of items that I really like, in no small part thanks to this place.
