If you have out-of-town visitors, would recommend bringing them here for souvenirs. The shop has 2 floors housing different genres; the top floor also has some seating. I think I saw they have some drinks for sale as well. It also seems like they have pretty regular events on a weekly basis (book clubs and the like), so I'm excited to go back for one of those in the future. Fast service, great ambiance. Free parking on weekends and weekdays after 7pm in nearby city of Durham garages. 10/10 would recommend!

This is a beautiful and well stocked independent bookstore. The staff was really friendly and…read morehelpful when I arrived for an author event the other night. I saw Olivia Muenter speak about her new book Little One, and the seating and organization of the whole event was handled flawlessly. I thought it was very kind of the event to offer free tickets in addition to tickets that came with a copy of the book, as I had preordered from another store. I appreciated the consideration, and it made me want to stock up on other books from them. I didn't have any issues with parking at all- I got a spot in the large lot right out front. I was also able to choose from a variety of options for quick dinner stops before my event. All in all, a great addition to North Hills!

This shop is nestled into the small streets of DT Raleigh in a charming way, like a corner in Diagon alley. It's walking distance from a park and many eateries. We all ordered pastries and lattes, then shopped for stickers and books. There's a table near the front and some more in the back by the cafe. Fun, curated collections of books and zines that we really appreciated. My hot oat matcha latte was delicious and so was my amazing cheddar scone. The baristas and owner were incredibly nice and friendly. It set the tone for a great day in DT Raleigh.

I never received said card and never thought I agreed to be charged for a subscription I didn't really want!! I am now having to go through the trouble of canceling subscriptions AFTER they have already charged my bank which B-A-M gave them the information too. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED I was mislead and lied to.
