So happy to have stopped by this cutesy book store! Talk about titles galore - I filled my TBR list…read morewith multiple books. Easily spent an hour or so looking around. The workers seemed nice, talkative and I loved the shelf's showcasing what they were currently reading and what they suggest. I typically read on my kindle so I didn't plan to purchase a physical copy but I stumbled upon a freebie shelf and left with 3 new reads!

Based upon the number of people who were also at this shop on the Sunday morning I visited, I don't…read moreknow if it qualifies as a hidden gem, but it feels like it.

After parting with the vinyl shop we turn the corner and come across books outside noted FREE... we…read moreimmediately made a b-line over to take a look and see what they had to offer. There were alot of books to choose from. we were all able to find something . After which we went in to take a look around. They had a wonderful selection of childrens books, rare books as well. Its a medium sized spot but they fit a childrens corner in. I was pleased to find vintage Richie Rich and Sugar and Spike comic books for 1.00. This was certainly a wonderful place to stumble upon which had alot of gems inside. The vintage type writers were a really cool touch as well. Everything about this place was inviting and warm. At the cash register I came across an assortment of stickers and if you know me, you know I love stickers..Of course I grabbed a couple to complete my purchase. There is a space right by the door that has a sitting area, the leather chair was so comfortable but it was thw huge leather ottoman for me and the chess set that makes you wanna learn to play, if you do t already no how too. I could spend hours sitting and reading. Finally it was time to go but I will most certainly be back to see what other treasures I can find. Until next time Indy reads!!!

Stopped in here after having brunch at Love Handle across the street last weekend. It's a small,…read morebut mighty independent bookstore that has everything neatly organized and a decent selection of books in each category despite the size. I purchased a book that's been on my to-read list for some time (Nightbitch) and a new book that I've never heard of before, but was very intrigued by (Strange Pictures). Knocking 1 star off because there is a very bad odor, like something is wrong with the plumbing, inside the whole shop and it cut my visit way shorter than I had planned because I couldn't stand breathing it in any longer.

I love Tomorrow Bookstore. It's a small but mighty shop run by kind people. They host book clubs…read morefor fiction and non-fiction books, bring in local authors for signings on weekends, have art and literary pop ups, and do ticketed author events. Their collection blends books and zines you haven't heard of yet with popular titles you often see and ones in between. They have a good range for different ages, too, with a nice young adult section, children's books, and middle grade as well as the plentiful shelves for adults. There's a local author shelf and there's a fun mix of local talent there in a variety of genres and age categories--plus sometimes, signed copies. They do carry some gift items like candles, and their custom stickers and apparel make me smile. The little book guys are fun! Tomorrow is well worth a stop if you're downtown. Whether you're wanting a book haul or supporting local with a sticker purchase, you'll find something here. Parking on Mass Ave is metered, but free on Sundays! There's also a parking garage nearby, and if you don't mind a walk, you may find some of the limited free street parking.

Loudmouth Books is such a jewel!…read more It's a small bookstore that is expertly curated. It sells a bit of everything, from contemporary, romance, LGBTQ and historical fiction, as well as an array of non-fiction, cookbooks, kids, YA and other bits, The clerk who helped us was also quick with great recommendations. It was hard to decide, and in the end I got a novel I had been eying and a book-themed T-shirt. This bright spot -- both literally with its big front windows and figuratively with its wonderful selection -- made book shopping fun. A great spot to visit while in Indy!

Indy's bookshop scene is really incredible. This was my first time popping into Loudmouth Books and…read moreit certainly won't be my last. I love how vibrant the space is and was warmly greeted the second I walked in. There's a lovely separate room that has a selection of kids & YA options and some cozy bean bags if I remember correctly . The main room has a really awesome collection of intentionally chosen and eclectic books. The person working offered some great recommendations as well. I hope to be back again soon!

I managed a trip in to Dream Palace Books and Coffee before they closed, which I hadn't even heard…read moreabout until it happened! They had a really nice collection of books across all genres, though I never bought any so I don't know how pricing was. The main seating area was also nice, with some bar seating, some smaller tables, and a larger meeting table. I think the pricing was reasonable. My only hiccup was not realizing they had a decent sized tea menu, because they didn't have tea listed on their wall menu, instead leaving it to a laminate on the counter which I didn't see until I already placed my order. I got a chai latte that was pretty good but I found it to be rather sweet. I can't say I'd come back again, mostly because I can't come back again. I suppose it's just an unfortunate timing on my part to have only made my first visit in their final week of operation.

I decided then I wanted to visit and put it on my list of places to return to. I was quite intrigued by what all was next to Dream palace. There is a stationary spot as well as Liftoff creamery. I planned to visit all spots soon but I happen to be driving by and decided I wanted to pop in. I loved seeing that there was a cafe with a stage but as you look back, my mecca... BOOKS GALORE and to an avid reader, I instantly got excited. I found 2 of Pattern magazines previous issues I had been looking for, for a while and there were books for a while. Seating spread around as well as a long window seat with pillows to sit and enjoy.. it was a nice quiet cool spot on a scorching day. I didn't stay long but I grabbed a tangerine soda before departing. I'll be back as it is a venue I may use for an event or two in the future. If you've not had a chance to stop in. Do so, it deserves further scrutiny.

Very charming and cozy, with cats and repurposed handmade/vintage journals and books (mostly classics) with the prettiest covers. Ended up with perfect gifts for the MIL.

We followed her advice and I'm so glad that we did, what a way to close out 2023!

I was here for work, and it being my first visit to the campus I was very impressed!…read more A large part of my job is visiting campuses to check in and be a resource for former students. This location is clean, well maintained and was the perfect work space, I enjoyed coffee and got a good deal of work completed. I'll be back here in the coming months and am glad to know that I have a work space.

There's a B&N cafe as well. They have your standard Starbucks items (but not everything - Barnes & Noble Starbucks are different when it comes to some items. Your Starbucks gift card won't work here and some of the fancy items aren't sold here. However, the snacks/lunches are good. There's personal pizzas, bagels, Cheesecake Factory items, and then a rack of snacks/treats. I love the feta stuffed pretzels. Check out their specials as well. They'll change, but some current examples are $4 for an any-size ice coffee or iced tea + pretzel/bagel; Thursdays are half-off pizzas, and one day a week the sandwiches are half-off as well. I also appreciate that the bookstore supports the campus community. The manager is very supportive of Paws Pantry and other philanthropic activities. At first when I came to campus I winced at another corporation clawing into a university campus...so it's good that the bookstore is supportive of students. Also, the textbooks are fair priced. Textbooks are just so expensive in general because the publishing companies are awful, and then force bookstores to pay top dollar as well. Sigh. Location: B&N is located in the Campus Center and if you're visiting campus, you'll need a parking pass or park in the Vermont Street Garage. The latter is an expensive option, so...

And for vinyl they've got local artists, popular music and old vintage stuff as well! They also have a cool corner with art in the back and in the first room they have a bunch of cool art in drawers. They allow local artists to each have a drawer for their work and I just think that's SO cool!! They're queer friendly and definitely feel like a safe place! At one time had a donation box for menstrual products but someone destroyed it and I'm not sure if it's still there but they're just a great small business in Irvington that really adds so much to our community!
