    Liked this place so much we visited twice while we were staying on the island. Staff was friendly and pointed me to the supply of some of the books displayed in the windows. They have a cute children's section. When we visited around Christmas time they had a small selection of ornaments. They also have a really nice selection of chocolate, including locally crafted bars that we really enjoyed. I also purchased a convenient and spacious tote which was really practical for Christmas shopping and a nice souvenir of our visit. Definitely look forward to returning here. Conveniently located right next to the Brotherhood as well!

    Very cute book store, there is place to sit and read. Lot of different books and toys. Kids love that bookstore so much to explore. They also have very cute kids cafe there. I would definitely recommend to visit when you in neighborhood.

    Bring your own bag! Or else pay $10 for one.

    I love most to all bookstores, but this one made me kind of sad and annoyed. This was next to Jared Coffin where I stayed and was my first stop after I checked in, but it left a bad feeling in me. First off, I came into the store and there were two ladies behind the register chit-chatting and gossiping loudly and being judgemental toward someone they knew on island. Didn't even acknowledged me! Whatever, I get it. It's a bookstore, not everyone comes in buys. But they kept going on and on gossiping I didn't even get a chance to ask about Nantucket books I could get for gifts (they did not have a good selection FYI). The ladies continued to chit-chat as I roamed the store to the point that I walked into what looked like their staff area and no one noticed. I did find a few things, $70+ worth of things! And guess what? The one of the ladies goes, "Looks like you'll need a bag, we charge for those." Now I'm stuck with a bag that I'm not happy supporting, but I'm going to get my $10's worth out of it. The only good I can say about this store is that they open late.

    Great corner local trinket store, bakery, coffee/tea house, and news papers, and etc…read more The gals who work in there, work very hard. They are always pleasant and professional. They smile as they work, give cordial greetings and exit salutations. Nice to see that in this day and age. A very good coffee bar. The locals hang out in front of the store on benches, while the tourists swarm The Lemon Press. Usually the tourists are impatient and a bit pushy-shovey inside the tight one-way path, but the line moves quickly.

    This is a souvenir shop with a tea/coffee/smoothie/ food pickup. The place was busy today, which I…read moream always pleased to see a shop making money. We ordered two chai tea lattes and a hot chocolate. Prior to ordering I was asking the young lady (I believer her name is Maria) if it was made in house or if it were from a packet. She gave me a dirty perplexed look and asked "what!?". I repeated the question and she rudely answered now. I thought it was a fair question. This isn't why the low stars though. The low stars is due to them having three registers going screaming "next" as the pile of people that already ordered were piling up on each other plus strollers and they kept taking orders while one young lady was making the coffees, teas and smoothies. I felt awful for her. There was an employee young man standing there doing nothing but screaming "next" as well. I felt so bad for the young lady trying to keep up with all of the orders. If you are the owner reading this, please train your team to stop taking orders on two of the three registers for a minute and help clean the line out of orders by helping. Besides for marketing purposes, we all know a line to your place makes people crave your place even more. Hope you are able to train on attitude, organization, and empathy for another human being that is on the team. I will say the chai tea was made well.
