I love exploring different cities in Georgia during my downtime. I found this hidden bookstore…read more while grocery shopping at Super H mart today! I am so glad that I decided to drive around the plaza to see what new stores were in place. Sure enough, found this AMAZING bookstore. I was so blown away by the variety of genre there was. It had all kinds of gadgets, 3D puzzles, and really cool Japanese trinket and supply things. They have a vast selection of Pop Mart stuff animals, Manga gallery, and anime. Its like a anime fan's dream. Was going to suggest a coffee and ramen shop, but they both exists when you walk out and just a couple steps away from the bookstore. I would have took a lot more pictures but I didnt want to be rude. I am definitely bringing my kids with me next time.

Kinokuniya Bookstore is a Japanese bookstore and cultural shop that combines manga, books,…read morestationery, collectibles, and imported goods into one unique shopping experience. Located inside a shopping plaza, we walked into a cozy space with shelves full of Japanese publications and carefully curated merchandise that made it easy to spend time browsing. The store had a warm, inviting energy with a layout that encouraged exploration, and the organized sections made it easy to move from books to stationery to collectibles without feeling overwhelmed. The manga and book selection is the main highlight, with a wide range of Japanese titles, art books, and specialty publications that are harder to find elsewhere. We spent time looking through the shelves and found a depth of selection that went beyond the usual bestsellers, with rare art books, Japanese-language magazines, and niche manga series that are not always stocked at general bookstores. Beyond books, the store also carries a large selection of stationery, pens, notebooks, plushies, anime merchandise, blind boxes, and character goods, making it appealing not only to readers but also to collectors and fans of Japanese pop culture. The stationery section is especially impressive, featuring unique pens, mechanical pencils, and creative supplies that stand out compared to typical stores. We picked up a few items and found the quality noticeably higher than standard stationery, with the variety of writing instruments and paper goods giving us plenty to browse through. The collectible displays, including anime figures, pins, keychains, and themed merchandise, added another layer to the experience and made the store feel like more than just a bookstore. The layout was clean and easy to explore, with different sections offering something new around every corner, and it was the type of store where a quick visit could easily turn into an hour of browsing because there was so much detail packed into the shelves. The staff were present and available to help, though the store was easy enough to navigate on our own. The overall experience felt immersive and thoughtful, with each section offering a different aspect of Japanese pop culture and everyday goods. Overall, Kinokuniya Bookstore is a great destination for anyone interested in Japanese culture, manga, stationery, or collectibles. The combination of books, unique merchandise, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a standout shopping experience for both longtime fans and anyone curious about Japanese products.

I actually bought a Magic Tree House book because it was bilingual and they had Traditional Chinese characters with bopomofo (alphabet) alongside the characters. I have never seen a bilingual book like this before! They have some cute stickers and cards here too. I also saw a small selection of snacks and condiments like chili crisp. The cashier (who was probably the owner) was very nice! She spoke English and Mandarin.

The boutique was so cute we took our time checking every corner of the shop, and walked away with some lovely new pens for journaling. I'll be sure to come back any time I'm near here! And the surrounding complex had a surprising array of food, a lovely indoor/outdoor eating area, and stores full of international goods of many kinds. Maybe next time calls for a visit to Dim Sum next door followed by some tea from their shop!

She also had knowledge of how ordering of products was done. They also had top quality paper products imported from Germany and Japan... and in unique editions. I was thrilled to find the store. It is located in Ponce City Market

This Swoozie's location is at The Forum Peachtree Corners, a very popular outdoor shopping center…read morewith lots of free parking spaces. Was with two friends looking for a birthday gift for a former boss of ours. Lots of color from all the merchandise popped out as soon as we walked into the store. Swoozie's was very inviting, as were the employees who greeted me and asked if I needed help looking for anything. The store was neat, clean and well organized. This store stocks lots of items that will help you celebrate special occasions. Gifts, cards, stationery, invitations, and decorations are among so many different quality items that they sell. Most of these items are organized into specific sections of the store. For example, just about all of the cards are in the card section, and the invitations are in the invitation section. However, gifts are spread throughout the store, so customers have to walk through the entire store to get a good idea of what they stock. The three of us looked through the whole store for a birthday gift for our ex-manager, but nothing jumped out at us. While we all agreed that they have high quality merchandise in Swoozie's, we all thought that the prices were generally expensive - more expensive than what we want to pay, unless they were on clearance.

The prices were ridiculous. I don't mind paying for quality but there was nothing unique here. Very generic. Nothing you couldn't just order off the internet for much cheaper. A small candle that would probably cost $10-$15 in any other boutique store was $50 here. I mean, there was nothing inspiring in this store whatsoever. Just lazy merchandising and boring, overpriced products you could buy anywhere else. That's my honest review before what happened next. The owner called the police because she claimed another customer caught my wife shoplifting. We were detained in a humiliating fashion by several police officers in the front of her store for 45 minutes while they watched security footage over and over trying to find damning evidence of something that didn't happen. When nothing was found, the spineless owner had us criminally trespassed instead of apologizing. I noticed in another review that a minority received terrible service here as well. Not surprised at all to see that the trash who owns this store is racist, too. If you order cookies from Crumbl, make sure to order well enough in advance that you won't be tempted to visit this little piece of retail hell. Boring, generic, rude, overpriced. Completely garbage ownership.

This is an artist dream. They have probably whatever you need for whichever medium your craft is. My gentleman friend took me on Valentine's Day and I found a fluorescent pink 7mm mechanical pencil. I never knew I needed a pencil so badly. They carry the Ferris Wheel Press inks and a few others but I can't remember the name. Most of the inks cost the same as they would online but you don't have to pay shipping and you can view the swatches to get a good idea of the color you're buying. So happy businesses like this still thrive in Atlanta
