I stopped by New Romantics to check out the selection of books. The atmosphere of this store is very welcoming and cozy. The store is very aesthetic, all pink with girly decor. Along with the books, they had a lot of stickers and curated items. Even though the store is small, you could definitely spend a long time looking in there. The girls working at the counter were super sweet. They are happy to answer any questions and give book recommendations. Side note: if you ask for change for the little print machine, they'll give it to you even though they are cashless. Overall, this place was super welcoming and engaging. Even if yours not a big book person, this store still has a lot to offer. I can't wait to come back! read more

Adorable, local Latina owned Romance bookstore. Staff is super friendly, and very knowledgeable. Hosts for the Yelp book swap event I got to attend, and directly across from East End Market. Incredible selection of romance books, clearly marked by genre within sections of the store, and a great selection of bookish merch- stickers, kindle port charms, kindle covers, glass tumblers, tote bags and more. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially if you happen to get a new release or an autographed copy of a book! Be sure to check out the local author area- this store has a greater selection than many I have seen! Be aware, parking in the lot directly in front of the store can be hard- but, street parking is an option, and depending on time of day there's a school about a block away with parking that several businesses nearby utilize after school- but, if visiting during the school year, be aware of after school activities in the lot, keep speed down, and follow the directional signs. East End market IS across the street, so if you visit there and make the short walk, you can take advantage of the entire neighborhood and all it has to offer! read more

Visited the New Romantics for the first time today as part of a Yelp Community Event, but I already know I'll be back! I had my eye on too many great titles to resist. The store is so welcoming and appealing, and the categorization of books (all the subsections of romance you could dream of) make it so easy to find what you're looking for. You'll probably also discover all the options you didn't realize you were looking for. If you love a book store, you probably also love knick knacks and this one is packed with so many fun options. Prices are all reasonable for hot new books! read more

Love this store! They have a great selection of romance books from every genre, and they sell the cutest trinkets and bookish accessories. The employees are also amazing and more than happy to answer any questions or provide book recommendations. Make sure to follow their Instagram because they always host the most amazing events with authors. I would much rather buy books here than at big box stores! read more

What an adorable romance bookstore. It's right across the street from East End market and my coworker and I walked over to check it out after learning about them from the Yelp event the night before. It's so girly and I love all the pink and the purple and of course, I love a great Taylor Swift reference which they had everywhere in store and in their name. They have a large selection of romance books and different stickers, bags, and just so many cute little trinkets for book lovers. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance novel. read more

As a book lover I had my eye on visiting this place for a while, finding out it was Latina owned was very special as well, the owner is so kind! I had the opportunity of visiting thanks to a Yelp Event, and it was such a cute store!! Everything was clearly categorized and diverse there's something for everyone to enjoy from Gothic to LGBTQIA to Spanish Language books to Romantasy etc ; But aside from books if you are looking for cute gifts they have a lot of unique items, I thought it was so nice they had blind date books too. The area it's situated in is a very quaint neighborhood as well, you can park out front or if you're comfortable a block away is a nearby school with parking as well which makes a nice walk to the store. I will definitely be telling all my friends and fellow book readers about this place, if you're a sucker for love stories you can't go wrong with this place read more

A book store sure to make Taylor proud. This was my first time here and it was so lovely! The sticker selection was INCREDIBLE. The book selection was just what I had hoped for. I absolutely loved the fact that so many of the books have author autographs - makes them feel extra special. In a world of digital corporate conglomerates, it feels nice to support a small business! Absolutely recommend but enter at your own risk because I lost all self control in there and bought so many books! read more

We had a great time shopping at this romance only bookstore during the Yelp swap and sip event. I love their selection of LGBTQ+ titles because it's two whole bookshelves full instead only a shelf or two. THANK YOU! I also love their selection of local artists and bookish gifts and goodies. Definitely a must do bookstore in Orlando! read more

The cutest female owned Taylor Swift themed romance book store. Whenever I am in a different city, I like to visit independent book stores and buy books as "souvenirs" of my travels. I love this neighborhood within the Orlando area. The shop is in a small strip mall with parking in front. The decor is adorable and several spots for cute photo moments. They offer a variety of romance genres and all the merch is so great. Stickers, bookmarks, apparel, candles, art and so much more! The prices are in line with what I would expect and I like to support independents. I bought a book and several stickers. The gal working was helpful and kind. Now go visit them! read more

Stopped by for a quick visit over a month ago. The store was super cute and full of other fun goodies like stickers, bookmarks, candles, etc. I loved the curation of the books too, obviously. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and offered me recommendations as well as told me a little bit more about the book I had chosen. I hope I can stop by again when I'm in the area! read more

vibes LOVE all the Taylor swift references here. I understand it's a niche romance-focused bookstore, but I do wish they had a little more variety. I love their bulletin board of events by the front door - would love to come to one someday! read more

This is an adorable bookstore just a few minutes walk from East End Market! I learned about New Romantics during a Yelp event at the Orlando Science Center, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The interior is cute and photogenic, with lots of fun, girly details throughout. This is a romance bookstore, with a wide variety of offerings in sub-genres like "romantasy," young adult, dark romance, and more! I didn't purchase a book on this visit, but I did pick out a pretty new bookmark, a Snoopy keychain, and some bookish stickers. If I lived in the area, I could definitely see myself spending a lot of time here, and stocking up on plenty of books. I also noted the expansive event offerings with visiting authors! I highly recommend a visit to New Romantics for locals and tourists alike. read more

We stopped by because we were at a nearby restaurant. It was my first time in the store but I had heard about all the hype. It's such a cute store. I was worried it was going to be all cute romances, but they have a wide selection of romance. The saleswoman was so knowledgeable, and they had adorable trickers and journals. I got a cute claw clip, a planner, and a romance. I can't wait to visit again. read more

A romance themed bookstore! I don't need to say more but I will! I loved this cozy and cute store. It was welcoming and very well organized. They have their shelves organized easily into genres.

Such a cute book store and something well needed in our community! We truly need more unique stores like this that cater to book lovers and specific genres.

After a book convention a friend and I stopped in here before dinner. She has been following them since before they opened on Instagram. She told me about them which had me following them instantly. Apparently not good enough, though, because I missed when Kayla Grosse was there over the summer. Still kicking myself about that missed opportunity. I digress... It is a cute shop. I do wish there was a little more space to look at the books. On a Saturday evening with 15 or so people in there, we were squeezing each other. 15.10.2025 read more

Whether you're just starting to explore romance novels or have been doing so for decades, this special place has exactly what you need. I've been reading romance long before I should have (thanks to my mother's not-so-well-hidden collection), so I was thrilled when The New Romantics opened in Orlando and have frequented it ever since. Everyone who works there is a delight, and I'm incredibly proud to see how much Jane, the owner, has done to get this store up and running and to build the community it has. They offer a wonderful selection of books, with plenty of sub-genres to choose from, and tons of bookish goodies you don't need but will end up buying anyway. If you love visiting romance-only bookstores, this one definitely deserves a spot on your list. read more

Very cute romantasy book shop. I love the aesthetic. I've stopped in a few times while I was in the Baldwin Park area, but I have not yet made any purchases. For now, I will rate 4 stars as I have not really had any major interactions with employees to be able to judge their customer service. But, I did enjoy all of the cute book related extras that they had for sale such as bookmarks, stickers, etc. read more

It was my first time going!! I had heard about this place and I finally got the chance to go. Everything is so neatly organized, and some areas have a synopsis of the books which I really appreciated. They had cute little trinkets for kindles, stickers and bookmarks. I really loved this store and would love to go back. I didn't get a book this time but I did get some cute little stickers. The cashier was extremely nice, and asked everyone in the shop if they needed help. The value of the items seemed fair, from the stickers, trinkets to the books. The stickers came out to $4 each, which wasn't bad. Please shop local!! read more

Lovely mother/daughter date to The New Romantics Bookstore. It's a cute store with a nice selection of books that span many different & inclusive genres. Romantasy, BIPOC authors, LGBTQ+, strong female leads, YA's, dark fantasy, & a small section of popular books translated into Spanish. There are journals for day & night reflection. There are a plethora of pretty bookmarks, trinkets, lots of stickers, cups, pens, kindle covers, framed prints and candles. The staff is helpful and went above & beyond. They thought the book I was buying had an available signed author copy, they found it & my day was made. They have the cutest stamp & embossed, that you can stamp or emboss your book with a TBR from The New Romantics. Such a nice touch! It's is a delightful place to spend some time, pick up a few books and book accessories! The prices are what you would expect from any bookstore that is not amz. All the things they do are evident that they are true book lovers and love book people! read more

I adoreeee this bookstore!! This woman-owned, Latina-owned bookstore is really so much more than a store -- they are constantly putting on a ton of amazing (free or reasonably priced) bookish events and the environment in the store is so welcoming and cozy. They have a massive selection that represents so many and take pride in diversity. Even if you don't think you're a romance reader, you'd be surprised at how much there is to offer -- from every sort of romance genre you can imagine (which is how I learned I actually am a romance reader!), to bookish crafts and audiobook walking clubs, to the cutest trinkets, shirts, and stickers sourced from other small businesses. This is one to support; they are critical to the Orlando bookish scene and we want them around for a long time! read more

The cutest bookstore! I've been wanting to visit this bookstore since it first opened. It is located across the street from east end market, in the same plaza as Kelly's Ice Cream aka the perfect little funday of treats and books! When you walk in, the vibe is instantly happy. The books are sorted by genre with some merch and new releases up front. There is also a local authors section which I thought was great. Books are the value you'd expect. There is a little sitting area in the front and a selfie wall in the back. I bought two books and the reason I bought one of them was because the attendant at the register absolutely raved about it with (and I quote) "it wrecked me in the best way possible" to which I said "where is that book???" It is infectious in the best way when you see people as passionate about books as we are walking in. Makes for a very authentic experience. All in all, I cant wait to go back and check out some of their merch and romantasy collection additions. read more

This place is bad news for my bank account. Absolutely brilliant business idea! Local woman-owned and totally, fearlessly catered to romance readers. Lots of little bookish accessories sprinkled throughout like candles devoted to your favorite book boyfriend, themed hair clips, shopping bags, book magnets, pop sockets with bookish sayings, book annotation kits, I could go on! Each shelf is marked by theme, which made finding what I was looking for super easy and helped me introduce myself to nuanced genres within the romance umbrella. Definitely a 5 star experience, and an adorable addition to the Orlando small business landscape! I can't wait to bring my friends here when they come in town. read more

As a book lover, like I mean has too many books and put themselves in a book ban book lover, this was like walking into the land of my people. While I'm not a romance reader (always enjoy a good romance but a good variety of genres keeps me happy), this place has my heart. I visited with my friend (shoutout to Julie!). I've had this place on my radar since they had less than 100 followers on Instagram and it's been crazy to see that they finally opened. They are exactly as they advertise. A romance book store. There is nothing else besides romance books, cute stickers and merch. While I had to commend them for their wide selection of books, I have to mention if you are not a romance fan. The book selection will bore you. The merch is cute and quite tempting but since I was trying to restraint myself from buying the entire store (I can't buy just one book, I buy 5-7 at a time), I didn't indulge in the slightly pricey merch. The books are average in their pricing. It's no different than Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble or even Target when it comes to the price. I can't really say anything about the service as the cashier kept to herself (she was NOT rude at all, just minimal interaction, no biggie). The store is very beautiful and they were constantly busy with both book deliveries during my twenty to thirty minutes there and filled with people. I love how they have book an indoor seating area and outdoor one. Definitely a place to add to your insta stories or show off to friends. Their only major con is parking. I went there on a Thursday (this place is PACKED in the store and parking). And finding parking was NOT possible. I need you guys to really plan how you are going to park here because Thursday's is when Chiffon Culture is closed which means I wasn't fighting to find parking in the tiny parking lot with goers of the popular cafe. I struggled to find parking (there was NONE, I parked my car in an awkward spot and was praying no one hit it while I was in the shop). I can't imagine how bad it is on the weekend or any other day of the week. Also as someone who lives rather far from this park (this was a hour drive with traffic), I would definitely come back with a friend and make a day out of this which is what I did today. It's worth seeing once as it is the first romance bookstore in Orlando. It's pretty in there and you are surrounded by book lovers (paradise for me). So if you are a book lover like me and want to be surrounded by cute book related things, then you need to head over here at least once and make a day out of this especially since you are near East End, Mills and so much more. Definitely need to go back ASAP. read more

There's cushy seating and a few spots to take pictures in. read more
