Kind of out of the way since I actually live in the city but again they still had a book that I could no longer get locally so that was pretty cool.

Riverstone Books is a local independent bookstore. It sells fiction books, nonfiction books,…read morechildren's books, gifts (e.g., greeting cards, puzzles, and stuffed animals), and other products. I recently shopped inside this store. I appreciated that the two employees kindly greeted me but gave me space and time to look around on my own. I did not find any books to purchase this time, but I did pick out two pop-up greeting cards. The cashier correctly processed my transaction. This store contains a large section for children's books, so if you have any children, then I encourage you to shop here. Furthermore, if you are interested in attending events such as conversations with authors or children's story-times, then be sure to visit this store's website to read about upcoming in-store events.

Ordering books from The Tiny Bookstore was super easy! They have a fantastic selection online. Once…read moremy books were ready, they emailed me to set up a pickup time. When it was my time, you just text a number with your name and car color/make/model and they bring the books right out to you! I am super happy I was able to support a local bookstore during these times. I know my niece and nephew will love their new books. The store even threw in an extra book that will be perfect for my nephew. I will definitely be ordering more books soon.

I love sitting local small businesses, but it's someone's hard to compete with amazon prices. I JUST PICKED UP A PRE-ORDER BOOK FOR THE SAME PRICE AS AMAZON HERE. They gave a great online selection, and a good in store selection. Don't let the name tiny scare you away from looking. They also have some games and things. Shop small Shop local Shop here!

This is exactly what a great neighborhood used bookstore should be. The shelves are packed…read morefloor-to-ceiling with an incredible mix of hidden treasures, rare finds, and classic paperbacks that you can easily lose an hour browsing through. They have a fantastic "buy three, get one free" deal that always convinces me to grab just one more book than I originally planned. Plus, the fact that they have an awesome vinyl collection means you can hunt for records and books at the same time. The staff is always laid-back and friendly, making it a staple spot to hit up whenever you're hanging out in Squirrel Hill or downtown.

We stopped by on a whim around 10pm on Saturday night and there were way more people there than I…read morethought there would be! They have a fairly large selection of used books and records with many tall bookshelves. You never know what you'll find there! A staff member asked us if we had been there before and we said no. He told us that they have a buy three get one free deal and on Saturday nights they have free beers and seltzers. I didn't end up buying anything because I was a little overwhelmed but all the options (you could probably spend hours in there!) but it's a fantastic option and I like that they were open until midnight on Saturday!

THE place for funkos in Pittsburgh! My boyfriend and I are both collectors as are my 2 nieces (8…read moreand 7). We have found some serious gems here at great prices. They also host Popapaloozas which are a blast! Tons of funkos and fun every 2-3 months. Their social media presence is awesome, lots of rarer Funkos posted on their FB to purchase plus preorders to make sure you get the newest ones as soon as they're released. Kids under 12 get a free common on Sundays! (Not sure how long this promotion is for but it's amazing!)

Located inside the beer store is a little odd but I suppose it works. They have an impressive…read morecollection of Funko Pops. However, some of the pricing is outrageously expensive. In addition, the customer service is definitely lacking. Went out because we pre-ordered Pops and waited months to hear about the arrival. In fact, we had to constantly call and email them only to get vague answers.

A small hobby shop just outside the heart of Robinson…read more Mostly focuses on collectible trading card games but offers some books (trade paper backs, manga, mostly silver age coward comics), hero-clix, D&D accessories, and other collectibles like pop-funko. The store seems to always be going though an identify crisis, which often seems to hinder the growth that should have happened already. That always disappoints me as I really think that there is a solid core to this store. The owner, while not always business savvy, is one of the nicest, most genuine people you'll ever meet. Always jovial, kind, and will go out of your way to do something for you, but this seems to always lead to the guy being taken advantage of. The selection overall seems to be pretty average. Not a fan of the cards NOT being displayed in the display cases, but the kiosk in the front of the store will be satisfactory for now. I would really like them to bring back the binders and for them to utilize the display cases again in the future. It is also painfully apparent that they've outgrown the current store quite a while ago. I do surely hope they're able to move into a larger store in the near future. Overall it could be a lot worse. The store has the privilege of being in Robinson, but doesn't seem to always utilize the position they're in. I hope they can expand in the future so that I may update the stores progress then.

I'd heard about this store online in some Tik Toks and they raved about it! We stopped by with our…read morefriend and niece and the ladies working were obsessed with her! They made the trip sociable and fun and loved talking books with us. They have a smaller selection for now but I'm sure it will grow as they do. They have ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, Rina Kent, and other romance authors. Their shelves are sectioned by genres so they have contemporary near the door and the spicier stuff in their "18+ " section. They also have YA romances, sports romances, and LGBTQ romances. In the center of their store they have some table set up with pins, candles, and some jewelry as well. Expect to spend as much as you would at any other book retailer. It's going to be more than Amazon but you get to support a brick and mortar store in the community!

Browsed for some books, didn't find anything I wanted to purchase but as I walked out the 2…read moreemployees made extremely rude remarks to me about not purchasing anything. Like lady, you own a book store with limited selection - not everyone is going to find something they want to buy. Clearly owned by someone with thin skin looking to take offense to anything. Won't ever go back or patronize this place, it'll probably go out of business anyhow.

The selection is incredible and the owner couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a unique quality toy or gift for a baby shower or kid's birthday party, this is the place to go. The prices were incredible too! Usually small shops have higher prices, but everything here was so reasonable, there were even some things on sale! There's even a section of board/party games for adults too! We will definitely be returning in the future :)
