    All the cool YA books
    Amy Y.

    COVID-19 review: Nice local bookstore. They are currently doing curbside as well as I store shopping. They are monitoring the number of patrons and kindly requesting people make a reservation when possible or waiting until there is enough space. Everyone is asked to use hand sanitizer when entering so that merchandise can be handled. There are barriers between the register and customers & I was asked to hold the books UPC out so the staff never touched my purchases. The credit card swiper is on the customer side as well for completely touch less purchasing. Great job!

    Good bookstore vibe. Nice people. Very efficient in finding a book I was looking for. Answers the phone directly (no menu to go through).

    Great local bookstore. Privilege that Wellesley can still support this style of retail. Nice kid's section.

    Blue Bunny Books is easily one of my favorite locations to walk to and hang out. During my…read morepregnancy, I have found myself walking into town just to be able to sit and do some work while sipping on a yummy drink. Their cafe isn't just creative, it's extensive! They really have something for everyone here. My boyfriend, who is more of a tea than a coffee person, hasn't found any complaints when trying their drinks (and he may be as much of a drink critic as I am). If you have kids, Blue Bunny also does creative and fun events to engage and involve your little ones in some much-needed book-themed fun. With our family expecting our first baby, we're beyond thrilled to bring her over to Blue Bunny's events, no matter how old she is. Blue Bunny is such a staple to the Dedham community, and I will always enjoy going back for some yummy coffees and good books.

    What a cute little bookshop with cafe! We stopped in just to check out the selection but I was…read moredrawn in by its small chop charm. My son and I grabbed some drinks from the cafe and they were delicious, then as we waited browsed their selection. There are more children's books overall but they do carry toys, trinkets, cards, crafts, historical books and more. The woman working the front was super sweet and the lady behind the cafe counter was too, their service was welcoming. As far as value I'd rather support local than the big store. Their prices are the norm but yes you can find majority of these books at big retailers for less. They both also gave a military discount even though I don't believe that is the norm for them but much appreciated. Overall great experience.
