I mean like a Barnes & Noble kitchen with sandwiches, burgers, pastas and even ribs - with separate seating and everything. The inside is massive, but organized and well stocked. I liked seeing the big book displays and the different sections they created. The kids area was also really nice and welcoming. While we didn't check out the cafe as we had just eaten lunch, we did buy a few books for our daughter. We could have spent hours here, but sadly we had to drive home. Staff were very friendly and helpful! You could always find at least one employee walking around in each section which I really liked. Overall, this is an amazing location! I highly suggest stopping in if you're in the area - buy a book and grab some lunch! Can't wait to come back next time we are in Folsom!

Crossroads is hands down the best metaphysical store for all your healing and "craft" needs. The…read moreproprietors, Eric and Katrina Rasbold are authors of many books and very experienced healers. These folks are the real deal. In addition to the products they make themselves on site and sell at the store, there are other services such as massage, spiritual cleansing and clearings and ancestral and energy work available. They have classes in an array of topics and they're often times free. Crossroads also features the products of other artisans and practitioners. You will find everything from jewelry, potions, soaps, crystals, raw stones, candles for divination, Tarot, Oracle, curios, sprays, powders, incense, bones, books, statuary, clothing, hats, charms, oils, etc. Crossroads also does a monthly Santa Muerte Veneration, moon and sabat rituals which are free and open to public as well as a monthly non-fiction book club. Crossroads is a beautiful store with wonderful energy and only about 20 minutes from Rancho Cordova. I visit this store from 2-3 times a month for classes, rituals and supplies. There is a vast array of divination candles for personal manifestation. You can purchase an already dressed candle or request a specific service from Katrina where she will work the magick for you. Eric and Katrina are very kind, helpful and welcoming and I highly recommend a visit to this store. You will absolutely find something you cannot live without, and even though I am a regular, I always see something new each time I visit. This is a great place for artisan goods as gifts or just to for yourself. So take a visit, enjoy some tea and take a look at all the cool products they feature.

I live clear across the country (NY) but got told about Crossroads from a friend in Massachusetts…read more They are, bluntly, amazing and authentic, and are now my #1 go to magical store in the US. There's magic, and there's wisdom. They don't always go together, but at Crossroads it's a perfect partnership, especially when manifested by Katrina and Eric Rasbold. I had a very difficult situation with someone attacking me out of their own fear and jealousy. Yes, of course I can rise above it -- but the truth of the matter is that it can hurt both my career and me personally. I brought the situation to the Rasbolds, who immediately set to work with candle magic as requested, and also suggested a Limpia (cleansing ritual) around the situation. Within 18 hours of the Limpia being completed, I was feeling much calmer, more compassionate towards the "Problem Person" -- and could feel that the hooks that had been placed in me, both spiritually and viscerally, had already been released. There are so many poseurs with metaphysics these days, that you can take your chances in finding a good one. Crossroads, and Katrina and Eric, are as fine, real and authentic as you get. My highest recommendation.

Bookworm has plenty of authors for every subject. The genres range from sci fi to legal aid to romance to just about anything. I went to purposefully look for parts of series that I was missing. I totally found what I needed at a good price. The used books range in quality from rough to new-ish. The ages also range from '70s to this year. The staff was super nice! They helped me find things and told me about the store. I loved the packed feel. It made me feel like I was in an overgrown library. The books like plants slowly taking over the store. I'll definitely be back. They even had books in the hallways. It was easy and fun to browse the shelves and the titles weren't too esoteric, not just hard back Shakespeare but plenty of beach reads and quality adventure novels to sink my mind into. Thanks for helping me finish 2 of my series!

I've struggled to appreciate this bookstore, which is difficult to say because not only do I LOVE…read morebookstores, I also worked at one for 10 years as I went through high school and college so my loyalty to small independent bookstores is hard to challenge. I have read the comments about the bookstore owner being rude, and I disagree- perhaps a stoic or quirky personality but I too was given his speech about books sleeping and I've heard him say it to others and I find it a gentle way of him asking people to be kind to his most prized possessions. My issue is more around the vibe of the entire experience of walking through the door, shopping, then leaving. I guess you could say I am, like so many others, a conditioned human. The quintessential "ring the bell and the dog salivates" kind of conditioned. I'd like a place to sit, I'd like the room temperature to be mildly cozy (not cold), perhaps some compelling displays of interesting novels, some houseplants or a bookstore cat, I'd like some quiet jazz music to entice me into believing I'm having a moment of indulgence of which I should buy a book as a memory. Anything. But, this bookstore is none of that. I've heard some chit chat about this store being for *real* book enthusiasts who don't need any of that charm to shop. That's fair. This bookstore has a way of sorting out those who want a bookstore shopping experience, and those who need a book and want to get in and out quickly.

I was impressed at the many quite recent publications alongside many other well-known (or lesser known but well reviewed) books. I assume they have many loyal customers engaging in buy-back. Feels like the type of place that I could stop by without any particular book in mind, and walk out with a purchase I enjoy (which is essentially exactly what I want in a bookstore). The bookstore itself has a very old-timey bookstore feel, with wooden shelves (a bit narrow), a bookish smell, some haphazard stacks of books, and the kind of reverent silence I associate with the library. I loved it.
