I had a wonderful time at Jeannie's Used Bookstore! The place is in a quiet area in Portsmouth…read more There was plenty of parking. The bookstore is located next to a homeschool group center. I walked in and was immediately intrigued by the selection. Jeannie has cozy mysteries, history, large print, and an amazing selection of children's books. The prices are great and the condition of the books are too! I got presents for my baby niece that she will enjoy for Christmas. The store owner is so sweet and nice. Very helpful. She has stickers, bracelets , and other fun things to buy. Her and her husband do Santa and Mrs Clause pictures on Saturday in December which I thought was cool. I can't wait to go back to get more books.

It has a great selection from children's books right up to current adult books. The staff was friendly and offered to help us find anything when we arrived but also left us alone to look which I always appreciate. There is a cafe attached which offers simple non fancy coffees. My daughter was absolutely fine with that since a simple black coffee is her way to go. We purchased a few books that have been on our TBR and will definitely be back soon!

They no longer have a display of banned books and when I was there the worst author in the history of authors was doing a reading (12/6/25). My husband and I agreed that we needed to leave ASAP because that author was the most annoying person in the history of people. We did purchase one book.

It might pay off for you.

My sister and I went to pick up dinner. The House of Consciousness looks like it's been updated…read moresince I was last here. The decor looked more modern. It was a good vibe inside. We looked at their books, crystals, and spiritual items while waiting for our food. We got our food from Jikoni Cafe which is located inside The House of Consciousness. They sell vegan food, smoothies, and desserts. There were DVD's and CDs on clearance for $1. Which was a good deal. The cashier and the cook were both very friendly and patient with all the questions we had about the different dishes. The have some unique jewelry pieces for sale, which I like. The store is clean inside, the bathroom is also clean, and there's a few couches and tables you can lounge at, or you can dine in. The fireplace heater was going and it made it feel toasty and comfortable inside. I don't come to the area often, but when I do, I always stop here. Street parking is available. Check them out!

great food, great staff, great atmosphere, great purpose. you will not be disappointed!!!read more

Parked right outside the Nike store at the Norfolk Outlet was this quaint, mobile bookstore that…read moreshowcases an array of books--more specifically, books by black authors tailored to black and brown readers. This is EVERYTHING I have ever wanted in a bookstore. No more searching rows and rows of shelves to find an occasional book BY US and FOR US; the owner of this "slice of heaven on earth" compiled it all in one cute location. You want children's books? They have them; you want fiction or nonfiction or any imaginable genre..oh, it's all in this library on wheels. Expect Literature and Libations to pop up at all the cool festivals, fairs, and open air markets. It's a whole vibe, and I'm glad I stumbled upon them today. Don't worry, you can follow them on Instagram and get a heads up of their next location--@literatureandlibation By the way, they offer most of the sought after books in paperback and hardcover. That new Tamon Hall book that is so hard to find at all the brick and mortar shops...you know the one--"As the Wicked Watch". Literature and Libation has it!

I've been to CP a few times and it's been consistently delicious everytime. My highlight is the smiling faces that greet us every time.

I was looking for a vegan take out in the area and saw this little spot. Google had very good…read morereviews so I went for it. I didn't know what to expect because I wasn't sure if it was a bookstore, cafe, or what. I spotted the little cafe section as soon as I walked in. The rest of the store was filled with books, soaps, herbs, and such. I jetted to the counter to see what I can order. The menu is on a chalk board and I quickly ordered the vegan sausage and fried plantains. The guy behind the counter seemed spaced out, I couldn't understand him and he wasn't really customer-servicey (a word I made up) but yet he seemed nice? Yeah it's a mix emotion here..He proceeded to make my order and I noticed he wasn't wearing gloves, matter of fact he wasn't wearing a mask! And as a matter of fact NO ONE wasn't wearing a mask in this place!! I believe this establishment is into the whole herbal, natural healing vibe which I don't knock because it is important but we are still in a pandemic!!! At this point I wanted to cancel my order. But my order is being made so I started looking around the shop and you can see from my pix, the different things they sell. If this is your vibe, this place will work for you but for me it's a nooo. As I am waiting, I was asked if I wanted to stay for a class. I politely declined but in my head I was like "I really just want to go now". Anyways I got my order, and headed to Chick Fil A - Hahahaa!!

Store still has quite a selection , but now of self-professed "radical" things - from books to soaps to beverages. I like it when there are plenty of things that peak your interest and there's plenty of space for you to walk around and explore. Didn't quite understand the "radical" theme or the connection of that word to the merchandise; except for when the store signage explicitly indicates "feminist". Anyway....
