They have plenty of seating where you can spend some time reading and relax. I usually come here for Christian greeting cards or to gift someone a Bible (they have an option to engrave in the store and gift wrap). Parking is easy and free in front of the store. The only suggestions I would make is to improve their coffee quality and sell baked goods so people can hang out and eat, open later hours in the evening and host events for the community. Customer service is nice and they gift wrap for a small fee which is convenient. If you're curious about a Christian author and don't want to buy the book online then you can check it out here first. Buy it in the store and support local.

My Chapter House is the kind of bookstore that feels like it wandered out of a rom-com and decided…read moreto settle down in charming downtown Hickory. The experience starts before you even open the door. The entrance is darling. A picture-perfect window display tucked under an awning that already sets the tone: cozy, thoughtful, and clearly curated by people who get readers. Once inside, you're welcomed by a warm little entry area filled with reader-centric gifts. Notepads, pens, beautiful bookmarks, and the kind of clever, charming finds you actually want to pick up. I even spotted a ball cap that said "Bookish," which was equal parts cute and tempting. Then the space opens up, and wow. Antique metal tile ceilings, a wide open layout, and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves lining the walls. The floor space is anchored by large, beautiful wooden tables styled with books and reader gifts. Everything feels intentional and aesthetic without crossing into cluttered. When I visited, it was Valentine's season, and the chandeliers were decorated with paper heart garlands. Somehow whimsical without feeling busy, which is no small feat. One section that especially stood out to me was their Christian book selection. They have a wonderful, thoughtfully curated collection of Christian fiction and Christian nonfiction, along with truly beautiful and unique Bibles. I noticed options like a spiral-bound journaling Bible that's designed for easy note-taking. As a Christian, this felt especially meaningful. So many Christian bookstores have closed, and large chain bookstores tend to lump everything under a vague "spiritual" category, which makes it hard to know what you're actually buying. That can feel unsettling as a Christ follower, so seeing a clear, intentional, and high-quality Christian section here was refreshing and reassuring. There's even a designated gift-wrapping area, which honestly feels like a love language. Downstairs, the charm continues with a coffee shop area complete with tables where you can read, work, or linger. The children's book section is also downstairs and impressively stocked. The colors, the displays, the flow of the space -- it all strikes that rare balance of being visually interesting while still peaceful. This is a fantastic bookstore for readers, obviously, but it's also a great stop for people who don't naturally gravitate toward books. You can grab a coffee, find a thoughtful gift, or just soak in the atmosphere. They also host workshops and book clubs. At checkout, I noticed a past workshop that involved creating a wreath or large flower out of old book pages. Such a creative and meaningful way to repurpose books. My Chapter House isn't just a bookstore. It's an experience. One you'll want to return to, linger in, and probably tell your friends about.

A fun little vintage/antiques shop tucked back off the street, Those Were the Days is a great place…read moreto wile away an hour if you are a lover of the old or the quirky. It is set up like a typical antiques mall with items provided by different vendors, so you'll see some items priced higher than others based on who the vendor is, but I found the prices overall to be good. I stocked up on vintage glass decanters that were priced well below what I would normally see at similar stores in other cities, which was surprising given that resort town prices are often inflated. We met a vendor as we browsed, a friendly older gentlemen who asked about the items we were inspecting and told us where he sources most of his wares, and the lady who checked us out was also helpful and kind. Lots of records and toys, but you'll also find all the variety of items you expect in an antiques market. Finding the set of chicken decanters and the world's largest witch's broom were worth the trip even if I hadn't scored so many of the decanters I was searching for that day. We will definitely make this store part of our itinerary every time we return to Sugar Mountain.

Inside, the space is packed with personality: shelves of new and used books mingle with handmade jewelry, stickers, stationery, teas and thoughtful gifts. It's the kind of place where you can browse for a cozy mystery, pick up a blind-date-with-a-book bundle, or find a locally made trinket that feels just right. The owners - sisters with deep Wilkesboro roots - have curated the shop with care, creating a welcoming nook that feels more like a community living room than a retail space. Whether you're hunting for a literary escape or just want a sticker that makes you smile, there's surely something here that fits your budget and your mood. It's a delightful stop that adds depth and charm to downtown Wilkesboro's growing cultural scene. [Review 1212 of 2025 - 4397 in North Carolina - 24764 overall]
