The most unique local bookstore I visited in Alexandria, Virginia so far. The bookstore is clean,…read morewell organized , and easy to navigate. They have several events held inside the bookstore and unique merchandise from local artists. The service at the bookstore was nice & friendly. I like the selections & descriptions of books throughout the bookstore. In the kitchen room, there was a glass fridge with many cold drinks to buy as well as journals, books, and merchandise around the sink & cabinet area. I was told the bookstore use to be a private residential home. My favorite part of the bookstore was the unique & funny merchandise like the stickers. This local bookstore is a definite go see in Alexandria, Virginia. It is a place I would visit again .

What an awesome little local book store. They have a great selection (obviously someone is doing…read moresome serious curation). They also have some stationary and journals and an attached kids store. Prices were reasonable and the staff were all very friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about their collection. We will definitely make this a regular stop when we are in town. If for no other reason to avoid Amazon....

Well, I stopped by this establishment looking for a classic book. There were many used books to…read morechoose from and (I love reading) I became lost in the selection and how they were arranged. A nice selection of books. But, I noticed how no one acknowledged my presence. I thought it was due to another lady in the store. But, no and even as I walked around and soon I just felt uncomfortable and left. I guess some black men have a stigma that they don't read maybe. So, I will try again on my next vet appointment and stop by here to see and should this happen again. It will be addressed. Sorry, I wouldn't allow myself to purchase anything today even though I came across several nice

Blown away by how much bigger this book store is on the inside. I walked in and thought ok this is…read morecute. Checked out some of the history and diy books before going to the restroom. But on the way, I saw a sign saying more upstairs. That's where the real stock was kept. It somehow felt like there was twice as much space on the second floor than the first. Sci fi, fantasy, horror, Manga (limited),etc all the good stuff was on the second floor for me. Value wise it was worth stopping in here. Most books were about 7-10 which is at the high end for me but you know, this place is worth it. Selection is great and would definitely come back.

We came across town to this B&N for puzzles. They had a good selection. Only confusing part is…read moreGalison puzzles have their own little section near the register vs the back with the other puzzles. This was a really busy store, I didn't realize it was so busy. We had to ask an employee where the puzzles were and they seemed kind of meh and pointed. They were stocking puzzles, so I thought they'd be close by. Prices were very varied for the puzzles, so just had to look and weigh what to get. Great variety.

This was my second visit to MahoganyBooks at National Harbor, and it reminded me why I enjoy…read moresupporting this bookstore so much. I initially stopped by to pick up the latest release from one of my favorite authors, but somehow left with two books instead. (Book lovers will understand!) I was warmly greeted when I arrived, and the welcoming atmosphere immediately made me want to linger and browse. What I appreciate most about MahoganyBooks is that it does much more than sell books. The bookstore is intentional about creating space for authors of color to be seen, celebrated, and supported. From book signings and author events to community activities and wellness-focused gatherings, it's clear that they're building community through literature and culture. After browsing the shelves, I visited the small café inside the bookstore for a smoothie before taking my new books down to the waterfront. Finding a bench by the water and reading a few pages while enjoying the beautiful views of National Harbor was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. Between the thoughtfully curated book selection, welcoming atmosphere, café, and beautiful waterfront location, the experience feels like much more than a trip to a bookstore.

I met my cousin for dinner and we spent time before and after exploring the shelf's. Loved the layout and intimate vibe.

I am SO in. We stopped in bc my husband's last name is Kramer and it's spelled the exact same and I saw the brunch/breakfast options and wanted to eat here. We loved it. Tried the avocado toast, brioche French toast and a smash burger and everything was delicious. Service was good, food was out quickly, portions were huge, all A+++. Enjoyed shopping after and will 100% come back. They are very active on Instagram and usually have seasonal specials and neat events.

In an attempt to support a black-owned business, I made two online book orders: one on June 9 for…read morethree books and the other on June 12 for one more book. I had an inquiry about my second order, and I reached out to their email address on June 17. Rachel responded to me a day later, and also informed me my books were on back order, so they would take some time to get and deliver. OK, no problem. Totally understandable, and I was happy that they were getting so much business. I waited until July 9 to follow up as none of my books arrived and I had no communications about my order since that June 18 email. I replied to Rachel asking if she had an update on my order (since I was charged already, and so was understandably wondering what happened to my orders). Nothing. July 22 I reached out on their Instagram account with a Direct Message. Nothing. I've called and no one picks up and the voicemail is full. It is now July 28 and I have yet to hear a response about the four books I ordered. I am extremely disappointed, because I really wanted to support this business, but it's now been a month and a half since my order. I would be more understanding if they at would at least reply to me to let me know what's going on and were keeping me in the loop, but so far they have consistently ignored a customer. I really hate leaving this review, but short of just walking up to their store and beating on the glass (which I'm sure would make me look like a lunatic!), I honestly don't know what else to do.

It is difficult to support business if they lack customer service and a degree of professionalism.

I usually come here when charging my car and it's always great to browse the books. I never had any issue with the service while buying books and I think things are decently priced here, though hard for me to compare considering I don't buy many books. One thing to note is that the coffee store is not a Starbucks so don't expect to get Starbucks treatment. I went around 6 and they refused to open a bag of beans because it was too late. I don't think opening a bag of beans would have made a difference but ends up I had to drink coffee that I didn't really want.
