This place doesn't feel like one of those corporate coffee shops where everyone grabs a drink and…read moreleaves immediately. People actually stay here. They talk, read, study, meet up, and exist together for a while. There's a different energy here that makes you want to slow down and be part of it. I love this place!!!!! There's more than just coffee and books here; there's a little community. There's a bulletin board filled with flyers for local happenings, book clubs, celebrations, etc. I came here one weekend to study and it, thankfully, wasn't too busy. The cashier was friendly and welcoming, there's WiFi, and a fair amount of seating. I can see this place getting packed during peak hours. One thing I noticed right away was a small book club meeting happening near where I was working. It helped me relax while I was focusing on my work! I think that's why so many of us like working in coffee shops... you can be alone while still feeling connected to other people around you. I'll definitely be back, not just for the coffee, but for the genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Thanks !

As it's my first time here, I did order a drink -- a custom drink -- a chocolate chai $8.49. A little pricey but the drink was very good! I checked out the books and they have a nice selection and some freebies available as well. Would definitely recommend, lovely location and very kind staff. Looking forward to returning here, again, in the future.

This is a perfect little indie bookstore. I'm an old bookseller, and can attest to the fact that it…read morehas a great selection of titles and genres. You can choose from both new books (and they carry more new titles than just the bestsellers) and used titles (great value! I particularly appreciate the outstanding selection of see and new SF/F). They also purchase used books, and gave me a choice of store credit or cash. They support educators and offer a teacher discount. They also do special orders. There's also a monthly book club, which I really should check out. For excellent customer service, book selection, and value, vista Crawford's Books!

I like to get my mom large print mysteries books whenever I can and the small section they have in front of the libraries is hit and miss. I have gotten her so many and resonated them back I was starting to get the same ones again so I thought I'd come here and WOW there is a huge section of large print. They have sales and specials you would want to get in on if you read a lot also they have odd hours so make sure they are open before you make the drive. Parking can be tricky, on the day I went I was lucky and found a spot by the door but I saw many people parking out on street and walking in. It's located in a warehouse area so be prepared to walk a bit if they are full. It's pretty large in there and they have every kind of book imaginable come check them out!

Our local bookstore recommended checking out Wild Sisters bookstore, so we decided to make the trek…read moreto check it out. The bookstore itself feels cozy and magical, like you know you'll find a good read here. I love that they sell both new and used books. The used books are priced well, and the new books are the cover price. They have a membership program that's free where you can accumulate points to get a discount eventually. They have books for all ages, including a big back area full of children's books and middle aged children's books. I found two awesome children's books. The staff here are friendly and ready to help you if you need it. We will be back!

I was really excited to visit Wild Sisters, and it was quite popular judging by how many people…read morewere there when I came by on a Friday afternoon. As others have mentioned, the selection has some gaps, but I imagine you could easily order a book you want that isn't in stock. I enjoyed browsing the shelves and seeing employee recommendations. When I made it to the poetry selection, I was happy to see that it wasn't all mainstream or classic poets, and I ended up picking up a few new collections. There's an extensive children's and young adult section in the back, and the store also sells things like book-related jewelry, some cards, and a ton of cute stickers (I may have gone overboard on buying some of those). They also sell local zines, which I think is awesome. If you make a zine, you can contact them to see about selling them in the store. The front table has free bookmarks, handouts, community announcements, etc., and the person at the register let me put some of my zines on the table for people to take for free. All in all, a cute spot, and one I'd visit regularly if I lived in town.

The workers were really nice and it was lovely walking around and checking out all the various options they have. The location is great at 40 Acres right across the Plant Foundry and around the corner from Old Soul. If you have been in yet, definitely come check it out and support a local business.
