This is definitely A MUST visit when you come to Erie. It's…read morea community's bookstore that has recently added a coffee shop inside. They offer a wide selections of books, both well-loved (2nd-hand) and new, from Mystery, Romance, History, to Children's books. It is such a relaxing and peaceful experience to browse around the store, looking for a treasure to be found (You can also join their book club). If you are looking for a gift or souvenir, there are also small gifts such as stationary items or treats from local places like Lake Erie Candy Co. All the way in the back is a coffee shop that sources coffee from North Edge Craft Coffee (Erie's own roasting company), and a bakery, offering foods such as bagels and cupcakes. So far, I have only tried Chai tea latte and Dirty chai, but will definitely try other items in the future. My favourite part here, other than delicious drinks and books, are that they offer to buy back the book that you recently purchased, and will give you store credit to be used for your next purchase, or you can also bring in any books you currently own, and sell it to them for store credit. Grab a drinks, your favourite book and get lost in another world!

When you walk into a book store I want it to feel like home. This place feels like home it smells…read morelike a book store and the people whom work there love books and it feels safe enough to take my children to this place. I've met the owner and I love her, shes this person whom loves books and the people like her, and shes funny too. I wanted something different and they guys gave me 5 options and asked me a ton of questions. That's called getting to know your customer and them knowing you. I return to places like this. I spend money at places like this over and over again. Shop at this place and keep it in business.

Partly my fault. I brought in tons of fantasy books and got a nice store credit which I didn't…read morenotice had an expiration date. So they wouldn't honor my credit. I asked for my books back and got a chuckle for my request. Just warning everyone to notice your expiration date or get scammed for a couple hundred dollars worth of books!!!

I was worried this was a small location but they had just enough variety I was able to find exactly what I was looking for while browsing new things too.

A must stop if you're in the area

They have an okay selection typical of any franchise book store. Books, magazines, some novelty…read moremerchandise, etc. I find the staff is constantly crawling up my butt, and then up-selling like mad at the register. Do I want a membership? Do I want three months of magazine subscriptions? Then they draw on the receipt.....This is what I saved today, this is the cashiers name, here's a survey, here's the code, here's the prize, OH NOW LOOK (smiley face) YOUR RECEIPT IS HAPPY TO SEE YOU!! Are ya kidding? This crap took almost 5minutes after my purchase. When I said no to the (free, yeah right) magazines the cashier rebutted me more than once! WHAT THE ****???!!! SERIOUSLY???!! Let me make my purchase and leave. They won't hit the transaction button to let you card go through until you've heard a dozen sales pitches! I've gotten away from Jehovah witnesses faster than this cashier! This is why amazon dot com is mopping the floor with them!

They do try to give you offers at the front desk but if they don't tell you about them they get in trouble. Please try to be patience, they have their orders.
