The bagel was hot and really delivered on the jalapeño and cheese. And the chai latte had really good flavor. There was a good amount of seats, with good wifi, and I did see some outlets! The bookstore itself is also really nice. It's pretty organized but also feels kind of chaotic in the best way. And it's way bigger than I thought. I low-key got lost in the shelves, but they have signs pointing to the exit thankfully.

impeccable location with simple clean food. Prices are reasonable for the location and the fresh…read morequality of the food. They are very open to customizations. Convenientlly located within walking distance to the library and James Weldon Park, this is an unbeatable location for a cafe/bookstore. The bookstore itself is an iconic local business, with the uptown being its second location. The collection of used books is massive, and the multimedia selections range from CDs/DVDs to even board games. The trade in program is a great way to reward patrons and loyal customers, and teachers receive a discount with proof of employment. Makes sure to follow the Instagram for the location as they have an offering of free events like Blackout poetry classes every 2nd and 4th Sunday. This is a great location, and definitely a prime spot for a friend gathering or just a chance to have a quiet space to catch up on your tbr list.

Don't sleep on your local bookstores!…read more We participated this morning in a group walk and afterward, of course we had to stop into the bookstore! It's basically the law - you're in San Marco square, you go to San Marco book store. The book selection is ever evolving so there is always some new treasure to discover among the stacks. And often, I find books in there less expensive than Amazon. And there is a selection of books with author signatures as well, for no additional cost. Some of the signed ones have been ordered from the publisher, but a good portion of those come from live author events the book store participates in. There are so many wonderful events you can attend here, like the author signings mentioned above (and of course a slew of other things) And often, those authors will sit for a chat. I discovered a new favorite author when I accidentally stumbled into one of those events. It was neat to hear her discuss her book and answer some great questions. The. Store is also very involved in the community around them which I love. (The owner even participates in the group walks in the area sometimes!) They also partner with the library for some larger author signings and other events. If you love reading, this is a must visit!

The BookMark bookstore is such a cute little gem nestled in Neptune Beach…read more Long story short, whenever we travel I always like to explore an independent bookstore and see what new books I can find. When I looked on Yelp, this was the only local bookstore for miles (the next closest is Books-A-Million). They are located within Beaches Town Center and are just one block from Neptune Beach. They are a small but mighty bookstore with plenty of options for everyone. The staff was amazing and quickly asked if we needed help finding anything. I mainly like to read fantasy and was able to find some books I hadn't heard about before. I really enjoyed reading the staff recommendations which are small pieces of paper nestled between the pages of the book. I thought that was such a cute detail and made the shopping experience more interactive. If you love books, I highly recommend checking out The BookMark!

Where do I even start with how fabulous and fantastic Femme Fire Books is? They are the literal…read morebookstore dream for a book girlie like me. Located behind Cultivate on Park Street, Vanessa curates her tiny store with diverse and forward-thinking books spanning all genres of fiction and nonfiction, as well as adorable stickers and reading tchotchkes. I'm a big fan of their Blind Date with a Book, which you can also find at other local stores like Temporium. If they don't have a book that you may be on the look out, there's a little box to request it. They hold wonderful events that are inclusive of everyone, and they put the community first time and time again. They partner with other local businesses to host events, such as hosting their book club at Alewife (RIP) or now BREW. I think my favorite events that they've held have been the Book Club Fairs (where you can meet the leaders of different book clubs in Jax), Grown-Up Book Fairs (think Scholastic Book Fair for adults), and their Book Swaps (where you can bring up to 10 of your own used books and swap for 10 new-to-you used books).
