It also carries a variety of CMU related jetties, sweaters, mugs, received goods, etc. for gifts. It also markets class rings. It is a functional textbook store but not much else. Their stationary and other books are best purchased elsewhere. The gift store portion offers nice goods but at relatively high prices.

My coworkers warned me of how filthy this place was and their pest problem but figured I would give it a try since I always pass it. I stopped here on my way home through downtown, took one look around and left. I checked out their tobacco products and their tobacco is not actually state minimum prices so the sign in front is a blatant lie. Avoid this place, there's better options on Wood street.

As soon as you walk into the shop, you're greeted with multiple coin gambling machines, which speaks about who frequents this place. There is a wide variety of processed snacks here. If you have a beloved snack, you most likely will find it here. My favorite thing about this store is the wall of shame. Pictures of individuals who were caught stealing from the store are displayed above the cash register and some of the walls. Some pictures also have fun jokes written about the folks that were caught. If you're looking to kill 5 minutes downtown, go into this place. If you are looking for some cheap smoke accessories and other questionable items to entertain yourself, you'll find it here.

The coffee bar surpasses expectations. The drinks are great, especially because of their unique syrups and drink combinations. I have enjoyed lattes and fruit flavored lemonades, and my favorites have been the strawberry matcha and the blue velvet latte, which featured blueberry roobios syrup. The employees have also been very nice and it is cute inside. There is space to sit and read or work near the coffee bar - you are able to take your computer and work there with a drink from the coffee bar, without even needing to buy a book. It is a great multifunctional community space.

Super cute bookstore in the heart of Dormont. I first learned about this store when I decided to…read moremake a Bookstagram (literary.listener). They sell books via their physical store but also post stacks of books and you can claim them. The owner is very sweet and even works with you if it takes awhile for you to get to the store. Honestly, I love this. It helps to show the stock and then I go in already knowing what I need/want. Also in the area you can get a nice little bubble tea so you can have something to sip on while you peruse the bookshelves. They do have events also in the space. You should check out their Instagram. And after you check out their Instagram actually go to their bookstore and shop local.

She puts so much work into buying books for the store. She has even acquired rare first editions of Sarah J. Maas books, and I was lucky enough to snag one of them! You can sell books to her as well, just keep an eye out for when she's buying!
