Kidding aside, I absolutely love this place. Staff is very friendly and helpful, and if they are able to, they order the books that I request, no problem. Their selection of books is fantastic as well, and the way they've separated the books by genre is a great way to keep things fresh and interesting as well as help me discover new books in my favorite genres. They also do monthly book boxes that I have never been disappointed in. Yes, the books are not as cheap as you'd find them on Amazon. But Jeff Bezos sucks and underpays his workers and treats them terribly, so maybe there's a reason why everything on that site is so cheap. On the other hand, at this store, you get to take a look at the book, especially if it's a different edition (some with sprayed edges, variant covers, or signed by the author), which offers a better, more personable experience at the end of the day. Besides, people complain about how there are no third spaces for people to go to anymore. The place has an array of beverages to purchase as well as seating where you can just settle down with whatever you've purchased and just read. I've also stumbled upon a few book clubs through the store hosting some of them, and met authors through the store's hosted events. This is the kind of business we need more of in Medina: community-minded, passionate, personable, and fun.

It's pretty misleading to call this a bookstore. This is a small "pop-up" booth inside Northside…read moreMarketplace. I went to Northside Marketplace for the first time ever last week, Thursday afternoon around 3:00, specifically looking forward to spending some time perusing this indie bookstore. Turns out NM is like a mall that's been shrunk down, overpriced, and jammed into an industrial-style building. Elizabeth's Bookstore is a square section, maybe 10' x 10', with 3 walls displaying spaced-out, front-facing books, a digital kiosk for checkout, and a QR Code for their digital store. Here's what Elizabeth's Bookstore does NOT have: - Any human people working there (booksellers? staff? nope!) - Chairs, sofas, or anyplace to comfortably sit and read a book - Bookshelves. Literally! There were displays, but no actual bookshelves. Hope you like one of the 20 preselected books? - Any sound cancellers or any other means of cultivating a non-industrial, bookshop-like atmosphere I don't really want to leave a 1 star review, because it is genuinely independent. And, it's associated with a writing center and hosted events in 647 Coffee (different location), which seem pretty cool! But I felt like I had to write something to give others a heads up. If you're looking for a great indie bookstore in Akron, unfortunately, this isn't it. Really not a place to peruse a selection of books, buy one, and hunker down with a coffee to read. Nor is it really possible to host a writing group or book club here. I hope it someday grows enough to move into a location that allows bookshelves and staff. Until then, I support Elizabeth's by buying their books online, and I won't be returning to this "bookstore."

As a small pop-up store in Northside market, it's a great quick stop no matter what genre you're looking for. Prices were great, and there were even autographed copies for some books. The merch was great as well, and we went home with a few books and more! It was great to shop local, especially at a black and queer owned shop with a focus on those books.

Great used book store!…read more My son is just starting to read, he loves books. Even though we have tons at home I like to keep his motivation going by buying new books for him to read. He loved looking through the books to find something he would enjoy. The lady at the front desk was also very helpful helping us navigate the store and sections. Kids books were about $2 and other books varied in price but all seemed reasonable for good condition books.

Even better, they still have some of the menu favorites, including the avocado toast, which was just as good as I remembered. The space is perfect for getting work done. Plenty of seating, reliable Wi-Fi, enough outlets to keep everything charged, and I had more than enough room for both my laptop and portable monitor. They also have a great selection of books if you need a break from the screen. The staff was welcoming, the coffee was excellent, and the avocado toast definitely lived up to the hype. My only note is that it runs a little chilly inside, so I'd bring a sweater. Other than that, it's an easy 10/10 and a spot I'll definitely be back to.

The Mythical Bookworm is probably the best place to buy used books, especially in the area…read more I used to order most of my books online, but since this shop has opened, they have a good 90% of everything I need. They receive new books frequently, and carry an impressively wide array of books, especially for such a small store. Prices are great, owners are friendly, and it's even got a pretty generous loyalty program. The only downsides to me are just standard stuff. Sometimes you'll buy a book and sometimes the inside will be full of someone else's annotations. That's happened before, but it's just a risk of buying used rather than new. Same goes for potentially not having the specific book you're looking for. These are sort of universal problems for used book stores though, and are well worth it for all of the benefits. Absolutely worth your time, especially if you live nearby.

I'm not usually a vintage/antique store because I tend to get overwhelmed but this place? This…read moreplace I like. Essentially inside the first floor of one of the homes in Tremont (to give you an idea of the vibe), every surface is packed and curated somehow without looking cluttered and making you feel overwhelmed. Street parking is plentiful in the area. From older books to sets of glassware (that were stunning but I had no particular place for them at this point) to a little bit of everything in between. You can tell the owner put a lot of love and thought into the curation. The owner's mom was manning the desk when I was there and she was lovely. After the initial heartfelt hello I was left to browse in peace which is always my preference. I'm always here for a conversation but it's always easier to have at the end of my browsing whether I've bought anything in particular or not. Given the nature of the business I would assume there's quite a bit of turnover in the stock and I'm curious to come back and see what's new-to-me.

The staff are welcoming and very knowledgeable with respect to the items on the shelves. Many of the teas are custom blends, or non-caffeinated herbal blends featuring unique flavor profiles, while others consist of green or black tea fusions. In addition to tea and spices, there is also an assortment of olive oil, sugar, salt, honey, simple syrups, and even a tea bar in the back where you can sample any of the teas on the shelf, hot or iced! The selection is quite vast and it's honestly a tough call as to what selection to make. I decided to sample a Moroccan mint tea blend, which was incredible! The items featured in this shop are generally not the type you'll find in your local grocery store. If you're in Chagrin Falls and wish to take a peek at a unique selection of custom made teas and spices, this place is certainly worth a visit.

If you love ANIME then Doki Doki store is for you. I don't know much about anime and manga but I've…read morebeen curious about this store for a while so I'm glad that I finally visited. I enjoyed my first visit to Doki Doki Kawaii Shop in early May 2026. A friend had invited me a few hours before she was heading out there so I gladly met her there. The shop has plenty of Asian inspired things. I saw a bunch of manga comic books, Pokémon items, Japanese stationery items (notebooks, highlighters, pens, etc), plushy toys, keychains, etc. I bought a cute 100-day notebook that was light green on the outside. It can be used as a planner or a diary. I can't wait to delve into it and maybe use it to track a goal or two for 2026. The store employee was friendly when I walked in and answered some questions that I had. I wish they sold more stationery items. They had a limited supply of planners and notebooks of different varieties. I will definitely visit again to browse more Japanese stationery. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 74/250 total reviews in 2026 - 915 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 May 2026
