    Blind Date with a Book
    Natali E.

    Love this inclusive bookstore. The location is fantastic-love that part of 6th Ave and parking was easy to find. Great mix of books and gift items. Even found a print I plan on framing. I appreciated the way the book seller was knowledgeable about the books and engaged in offering recommendations. The little flourishes (merch such as Grit City Books coffee beans, books by local authors, and Blind Date w/ a Book) are exemplary, showing the thought and care that must have gone on behind the scenes. Everything was priced fairly and of good value.

    Was able to cross off a bucket list must do by attending a fireside conversation for a book release with not one but two authors this evening! Grit City Books was the perfect location and the customer service was excellent! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, the environment was clean and well organized as well. It was overall just a perfect experience and I'm very much looking forward to going back for further visits!

    I was worried about parking but it was easy to snag a spot on the street right in front of the shop - I went on a Saturday morning pretty soon after they opened. The shop is so cute with a great selection. The kids section was so great and had a table and a nook with pillows for kids to read. They also had a really cute window display and some cozy chairs by a fireplace. Some of my best memories as a child are spending hours reading in a bookstore and these days a lot of bookstores don't encourage people to linger and read, so it was really lovely to see the cozy vibes here that encourage folks to stick around. The staff were so friendly and I walked out with quite a few books I've been looking for for ages, including one by Mother Moon for my toddler
