They have an excellent selection of children's books and an adorable play area for kids, complete with a coloring station and mini indoor play structure to enjoy while parents browse. The cafe is run by an independent business and has an extensive drink + food menu to eat onsite as well as freshly made casseroles and entrees to take home. The store also supplies artisanal local products (oils, soaps, etc.), cards, and other cute stationary to explore. They host book clubs and other programming regularly. I could spend hours here! Visit and support this local gem!

It is not super big but it makes great use of the space it has tons of pre loved books, stickers, various gifts, oracle and Tarot cards, witches candles and so much more. SHANA SAYS: Super cute atmosphere, fun organizing of the books like pre loved, and lots of cute gift items. Plus a cat with its own hours! Kathy was super friendly and helpful. Made the whole experience better and is a genuine person. They do have a game room and a snack bar with free water as well as a keuring and snacks for sale. The bathroom is for everyone and they are very welcoming. Of course as an independent bookstore they have a wide variety of titles with some new books thrown in. They do mystery sells and bundles where you get a vague description of a book that is covered up and you take a chance. It should go without saying but as you are supporting local businesses the prices are a little higher the HPB or Amazon but it means more here and you should buy local when you can. I highly recommend this place. They even have a section where if you spend $50 you get to choose a free gift from books to sunglasses to other items. Go in, say hi to Kathy and The Cat!

What a wonderfully weird place! I was looking for a local bookstore that was close to my hotel and…read morewould let me explore a little. The Book Burrow did the trick! I will start with the "downsides" (as few as they are). This place is pretty small. Like smaller than I thought. Because of this, its not the greatest place for browsing. They had some "witch" stuff which was interesting, but I was looking for a book. Also, most of the books are used which isn't terrible, but not exactly clear. As for the positives, this place is a true small business so you really get the personal touch when it comes to service. I also picked this place because it did a "blind book" service where they will pick out a book or two for you based on your description. A bunch of bookstores do this, but the Book Burrow understood the assignment exactly. They got me THREE books and all of them were PERFECT. I was surprised how they found my vibe and found me unique books! They also wrapped it in a beautiful paper and addressed it to me! It was like a little birthday gift to myself! As you can tell, I was very floored by the selections. This is the small business of small businesses so I am so HAPPY that I was able to stop by! While the place is small and their selection is in flux, I really appreciated the personal touch from the staff at The Book Burrow.

I'm hooked on these books I just learned about. Wow! My first introduction was Lights Out by…read moreNavessa Allen. I listed on audiobooks. To and from work, at home while house cleaning, I mean every chance I could listen I did. Finished in 3 days! So hooked. Heard about Phat Tracks, so thought I would check them out. Wasn't planning on anything, just seeing what spoke to me. And lo and behold, the second book was there. Caught Up. So of course I bought that book to read. Also spotted the third book, Game On. So when I'm ready for that third book, I'll be coming here. Cause it's that addicting and I don't want to go a day without reading the series. Book store has a lot to offer. A little bit of all genre. Some albums, coffee mugs, stickers, incense, just a really cool place to grab a book, read, walk around and look at all the little things. Owner is wicked nice. We chatted a little. He does reels on IG, so if you want to give him a follow and check out this small local business. Highly recommend supporting the little guy. They offer classes too. Book signing tours. Just check them out on IG for schedule. Parking lot is large. Love a place where I'm not struggling for street parking.

Additionally, they had things made of wood such as turned bowls and clever utensils. They had some beautiful ornaments, made out of ceramic, I bought one of those. It was $50.

In addition to the art portion of the business, there is a workshop section where people can go to classes and learn ceramics or painting and other things. The woman who was working was very helpful and kind. I look forward to frequency this gallery regularly.

A strong note: I know nothing about antiques and pricing. But since I was here just walking around, I could see something's that triggered my child hood. Some old glasses.

Everything was clearly priced with little white tags. Even though I didn't buy anything, I did enjoy my walk around. Some items just remembered me of my childhood, and that was a nice experience in itself.
