I love an independent book store! I actually had come here a few years prior last time I was in the…read morearea and knew I would be coming back. This weekend I had the chance to come back and I'm so glad I did! The location is awesome. There's ample paid street parking and a ton of other stores and restaurants nearby. The front of the store is a large selection for adults and young adults, and then there's a nice kid section in the back. Employees are all awesome and very friendly AND will offer suggestions, which I love. I wish there was a bookstore like this one in my home town haha. But if you are in the area and are a reader, it's absolutely worth checking out!

Do not come expecting a fast to-go breakfast/coffee. In total took us about 45 minutes to get our coffee + food, but the staff were very upfront about the wait-- there a was a sign about the wait in the line, and they let us know that the food would likely be delayed. Many little seating areas, books available to read, free wifi for an hour. Staff very charming and took their time to make sure our order was aligned with what we wanted. The vegan hot mess sandwich was phenomenal!! Accommodated for both vegan diet and nut allergy. Worth the wait for us! I hope to come back next time.

Thistle & Nightshade is a beautiful little bookstore in the West Ridge Offices, Suite 838 in Reno,…read moreoff of Mae Anne. Owner's Annie & Alex have owned this wonderful Bookshop for a year and a half to date. I thought the selection, service, atmosphere and Customer Service was a Five Star Book Buying Experience. Not only is the Bookshop warm and inviting for everyone but there are different rooms to sit and enjoy your book choices and cozy seats to relax and read in. Also, this is a great little store for kids with a beautiful rainbow room and lots of books to choose from. I love the sticker rack and all of the local Artists who have their art, jewelry, bookmarks and other cool wares available to purchase. I thought their pricing was very fair and I will be back again. Thank you to Thistle & Nightshade Book Shop and Owner's Annie & Alyx, for creating such a lovely Bookstore and shopping experience. Julie A

(Which I do love BTW) This store has one of the most intuitive layouts I've ever encountered in a bookstore, and the selection, wow! After making all of my selections, I spoke to the owner for a bit. He seems to have a passion for finding everything interesting and unique. What a nice guy! I tried to keep it reasonable and only bought four books, but I already have plans to go back, and I reached out to friends who are in the area to see if there's anything they need! It seems more critical now than ever to have as many books as you can so that we don't lose history.

Previous review: The selection at this shop is top notch. Unique and unexpected mixed with tried and true. However, like most places in the Tahoe area, they are experiencing a staffing issue. We personally didn't need any customer service other than check out when we visited, however the cashier was a bit apathetic. That said, I don't know their story, if they had a bad day, or if they just were not loving working at a toy shop on a busy weekend. That said, the prices are a TOUCH on the high side but honestly that is to be expected in a tourist area. I'm hoping that the cheerful workers return but honestly, I get it. The past 2 years have been rough and it's hard to be upbeat all the time. However.... I mean, it is a toy store....

Many great options at Geared for Games. However, the salesperson never gave me a greeting or bothered to look up from her paperwork the entire time I was in the store. Nor did I get a "Thanks for coming in" when I left. Very odd. Sure hope she finished her paperwork because it was obviously more important than any potential business from me!
