The first room is all fiction, new and used…read more The middle room has classics, recommended, seasonal, a "spice shelf" with pepper ratings, cool book merch, book bundles. At the checkout counter they have a bunch of bookmarks and stickers available. The mid-back room is all non-fic, and had two chairs if you're the type who wants to sit with your wares for a moment. They back room is used clothing and antique fabrics, and DOES have a fitting room! There's a room for kids and teens too. I recommend you have good knees going in as there are books in every possible nook, high and low, including under tables. There's a read for every flavor and a recommendation for every reader. The shop owners are very knowledgeable of their stock. Parking- for cars I believe there's a back lot? But it's probably easier to just street park.

I was able to get a signed hardcover for $10, and paperbacks typically range between 4 and 7 dollars.

They might not carry the book of the moment that TikTok insists that you read right now, but they do have a great selection of books you might not find on the shelves at a chain bookstore. (And you can always make a special order.) Spend some time browsing and you're sure to find something you hadn't known you needed to read! All of their books are new, and there are some reduced-price items available. The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly without hovering, they have not one but TWO gorgeous cats, they host a monthly book club and other fun events, there's a loyalty program, and they do a lot for the community. Indie bookstores are thin on the ground in this part of the state and I was thrilled to find Keaton & Lloyd just a short drive from Utica. Head to the Rome Arts Districr and pick up something good to read - you'll be glad you did!

Soothing jazz was playing, the antique rugs made everything feel welcoming. There are several rooms full of used books in various categories. Everything was labeled and easy to navigate.

Right as you walk in, there's a cozy café tucked to the left with some fun seasonal drinks. Since it was April (now May as I'm writing this), they had a spring menu.

The store also had quirky bookmarks, a few signed copies of books (always a cool touch), and a discount section full of hidden gems. We didn't end up buying anything this time but it was still such a lovely place to wander and frolic through.
