It is a little hard to find (Hense the Secret) but look for Rockin Cat Cafe and its to the left, up a flight of steps. I didn't see any disabled entrances, so keep that in mind if you visit and need accommodations. The shop is quiet but the woman who helped us was pleasant and answered any questions we had. They had anime music playing in the background but not so loud that it was overbearing. Price wise it's on par with Barnes and Noble and 2nd Charles but the selection is much better and varied/unique. I ended up just buying a good luck charm but plan to visit again when we're in the area.

Finally had the chance to stop by Little House of Books today! What a fabulous little book shop!…read moreThe small town feel and cozy ambiance reminded me of Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls fans, anyone?). The place is adorably decorated and has a nice size, curated book collection with something to offer for everyone. I was greeted by the owner who was so kind and also rang me up. My books were packaged so nicely with decorative tissue paper too! I found two books here that have been on my list to grab: Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Crying in H-Mart by Michelle Zauner (singer in the band Japanese Breakfast!). Both books are paperback which is my preference, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that Crying in H-Mart was 30% off! There is an area for kids, a cafe area serving coffee and drinks, and a nice outdoor patio area as well. This place has it all! If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and browse!

Just a treat. You…read morewill find books that you didn't know that you needed, but you absolutely must have them. It looks small, but it packs a lot in.

This is a super cute local, independent bookstore and I highly encourage anyone in the area to…read morecheck it out! Most of the books there are used, so they're sold at a cheaper price but they have new books too. The used books are almost all in really great shape. Outside of the store, they have book carts with $5 and under books. The store is two floors, and the upper floor has a cozy reading area. The shelves in the store are separated by genre and there are also tables with owner-recommended books. In addition to books, there are also plants for sale. The place is so nicely decorated and such a nice environment for reading. To be honest, it doesn't even feel like walking into a store, and it's more like a cozy home. As a plus, I think this place has a cat around sometimes, but I didn't see the cat during my visit.

I had the vegan chocolate chunk, a cashew confection that had an interesting, almost marshmallow-y texture. It was very rich, and I probably should have opted for a sugar cone or a cup to moderate the serving size. The staff are fun, and tap to pay is easy, so check them out!

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.

Absolutely charming and engaging bookstore. I enjoyed meeting and talking with the owner (I believe…read moreshe previously had the shop in Harmony). The children's section is substantial, as is the sci-fi and romance. I particularly liked the tee shirts/stickers/buttons. It's all part of a vibrant and reviving business district.

When it was my time, you just text a number with your name and car color/make/model and they bring the books right out to you! I am super happy I was able to support a local bookstore during these times. I know my niece and nephew will love their new books. The store even threw in an extra book that will be perfect for my nephew. I will definitely be ordering more books soon.

After 25 years, they are MOVING!…read more We love Half Price Books! What better way to spend a date day than flipping through shelves of books that aren't overpriced! This location is great when we are headed toward Ross Park Mall.. except for the giant hill of an entryway that... denoted by the scratches in the pavement... has removed a good number of bumpers! Sooooo... we are excited that they are relocating down the road. Still... shelves upon shelves of meticulously curated categories with sub categories and alphabetized authors.... Maybe we love this because we are both such detail oriented people! My wife and I love to remember our favorite authors and hunt down where they are. We spend far too many minutes sitting on the floors of the sections thumbing through shelves and pages. And there is nothing better when you get to checkout with a stack of books... and the price is half! Thanks for the date days! Thanks for staff that never minds people squatting and enjoying!

I recently shopped inside this store. I appreciated that the two employees kindly greeted me but gave me space and time to look around on my own. I did not find any books to purchase this time, but I did pick out two pop-up greeting cards. The cashier correctly processed my transaction. This store contains a large section for children's books, so if you have any children, then I encourage you to shop here. Furthermore, if you are interested in attending events such as conversations with authors or children's story-times, then be sure to visit this store's website to read about upcoming in-store events.
