    This place was so cute! I saw a bunch of items I've never seen before which was cool! It was pretty small, but it kinda felt like stepping into another world. There's some really cool memorabilia, notebooks, keychains, quill pens, puzzles, book sets, posters, and the like. I got a set of Honeyduke's playing cards (just a regular deck but with sweets on them) and a time turner necklace for my friend. This was a quick stop on a great street for shopping.

    If you're a Harry Potter fan this is a cute little store to stop in. They have just about everything Harry Potter. The store is a bit small, definitely can't have too many people in at once.

    Aka - The Harry Potter store. This used to be a fairy core store back in the day, but that part of their business has moved. If you're a fan of Harry Potter, there's a lot of unique gifts here that differs from the universal parks. For starters, you can get butter bear to take home or back to your hotel. There's a lot of house merch and collectable wands. It's a pretty tiny store so it might get too crowded if you're not a fan of small spaces. Yet whether you're a fan or have some nostalgia for the franchise, it's worth taking a peak into.

    Great shop And better owner. I was visiting Boston with my 9 yr old son for opening day @ Fenway. Stumbled upon his shop and had a great visit. The owner talked with us for over 40 minutes about all the great spots to visit in Boston. Had a great time. My son bought a small toy from there. Lots to look at and just feels luke you are in a real shop in Harry Potter. Highly recommended--- Thanks again Shawn Boise, Idaho

    Very disappointed in this store I bought earrings that where very cute for 50$ he said they were gold plate (lies) I found them last night online same earring for 15$ dollars and the necklace for 20$ Over all at the store I spend 116 for something I could had bought online that is from the official Harry Potter collection am very upset and that not cool to take advantage of us fans like that

    If you name yourself the fairy shop... shouldn't you at least have fairies?! The place should be called Wizard World. It is completely all about Harry Potter, which is great for Harry Potter fans. If you're looking for light/ dark fairy faire... this is not your destination.

    No fairies here. Just lots of wizards and witches. Just cross through platform 9 3/4 to enter into a unique Harry Potter themed and merchandise store. Though it be very tight quarters, every turn you make has a surprising twist. There's plenty of trinkets, nicknacks you'll want to buy but you probably don't need. You're find wands, shot glasses, a golden snitch bracelets, earrings, and necklaces too. You're be able to buy the Harry Potter book collection to replace your old books at home, themes mugs, socks, slippers and oh, is that Hedwig I see? Price is higher than to order online but did you think rent is free on Newbury Street? I am sure it'd be cheaper had this been Diagon Alley but atlas I digress. If you are a Harry Potter fan or know a Harry Potter fan, be sure to visit here at least once. You will be in for a treat. Did I mention the treats? You can buy chocolate frogs, no frogs harmed in the making of course. Oh! Don't forget the jelly beans. And as expected, some flavors were not meant for consumption. I didn't finish the box. I must say, the best part of the experience for me was conversing with the owner as if we were in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Even the owner will surprise you and he will test your Harry Potter knowledge. Have a chat and have some chuckles. You can tell that wizards and witches are welcomed, and muggles are tolerated.

    For Harry Potter lovers, this place is the ultimate haven for you! My girlfriend is a huge HP fan and we noticed the sign on the street and just had to check it out, and we were not disappointed at all. For a smaller store there was plenty of interesting things to see and a lot of items you wouldn't find online or anywhere else with ease. My girlfriend got a baby Hedwig wrapped up nicely and a beautiful new wallet. The owner was extremely polite and conversational and if you're a fan of Harry Potter you have to check this place out!

    Wow. We were drawn in by the "chillin' with my gnomies" sign, hoping for a t-shirt. They got 'em! Quite a selection of gnomes and gnome-motif stuff. We got a magnet with the gnome phrase and chatted with the owner. He told us about the gnomes, how they earn their keep by protecting the place and cleaning up for him. Uh... I'm not much into their style of jewelry and design, so we didn't spend much time here. Good place to shop for all your fairy and gnome-related needs, though.

    When my friend said she wanted to go to this book store on our short trip to Boston, I was lowkey…read moreside eyeing her. But man oh man, I'm glad she made this one of our stops!! Walking up, there's an outdoor section with books for sale that is aesthetically pleasing. We didn't go through the books but I saw sales as low as $5 a book. This book store is one of a kind! There's 3 floors. The stairs to the second floor are beautiful. The top floor has an impressive collection of rare books. We spent 30 minutes just looking through all the titles and oooing and ahhhing at how awesome it would be to own them! This is a book lovers dream and honestly just stop by to see how cool it is!

There were so many books, everywhere in the store and outside the store. I didn't find anything outside. I don't think it was anything written in the last 20 years outside. All old or hella old books. Inside, there were old books also but a few newer books. There were so many sections to browse. I also was able to find and purchase a book that was on my TBR. The people at the register were nice and made sure they were ringing everyone up and moving the line along. The prices for the books were ok. I bought a book because I didn't have it and I was here but I'm sure I could have gotten it cheaper at the Goodwill but it's about the experience. I definitely enjoyed the bookshop and the experience.

We came for dinner and I got the turkey and brie sandwich. The brie melted in your mouth and paired perfectly with the crunchy vegetables and turkey in the sandwich. There was also a layer of fruit jam which created a salty sweet combination that was delicious. I also shared a warm custard bread pudding for dessert with a friend (be aware that you have to order this 30 minutes ahead as they bake it fresh!) which was so yummy - it was quite sweet but gooey and a lovely mixture of caramel flavors that paired nicely with the vanilla gelato. Prices are on the higher side but align with the attention that is paid to each plate! They have a super cute bookstore next to the cafe which is fun to browse. The set-up is within three stories of a house and the decor/design inside is very cozy - definitely worth checking out. On the third floor children's section there is a toy train that periodically circles the top of the room which is a fun touch too!

    Heartbreaking. The bookstore is exceptional. But the cafe is absurdly expensive and the male waiter…read morewalks the fine line on rude. The wonderful waitress, Sabrina, saved this from being a one star review. First the food. You pay $15 on the kids menu for literally a scrambled egg on an unbuttered piece of toast. Nothing else on the plate. The $24 breakfast is two scrambled eggs on white toast with a few cherry tomorrows on top and a side of small meatball-looking turkey sausages. I was shocked, but since I was with my child, I didn't want to say a thing. There is absolutely NOTHING on this menu worth the cost or experience. Also, they do not pour the tea and if you ask for milk (typically served with dark teas) the waiter gives you impatient side-eye. The cafe has everything, EVERYTHING which could really make it a spectacular experience, and I can say that I will never go again or recommend. Get a muffin and coffee/tea at Tatte or Flour Bakery and skip this cafe and go straight to the book store. The bookstore is a joy.
