    Stopped in to have a coffee and read my book, but ended up exploring the shop for well over an hour. I enjoyed a London Fog and Rainbow Muffin at a very fair price. I also bought a signed Ali Hazelwood copy of her book at a great price! The employees here are so knowledgeable and nice. I just loved talking and getting to know them. Unfortunately, what I was looking for wasn't in stock but I was given 3 recommendations that were close in genre as well as 3 recommendations that were in stock. I also wish I could give it a bonus star just for the rolling ladders! If you're in town and a reader like me, I highly suggest stopping in to this store to gaze their selection. They even have a reading nook for children. And the decor and additional locally made merchandise - there's something for everyone!

    Always love stopping by for some coffee or tea, and then go browsing for good books! Drinks can be for here or to-go. The shop has great character and cozy ambience inside. There's plenty of room to sit down in the back, or perch on a barstool up front by the counter. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I've bought a couple of books here before -- while they are pricier, I come here to enjoy both the books and the store experience. It's worth ducking in if you're visiting Wellington Square

    This is my all-time favorite bookstore (and I've seen quite a few)! The beautiful decor, amazing selection, and eclectic gifts make it a spot that I want to come back to again and again. They also serve coffee and pastries, which is a huge plus!

    Cute store

    Cute stores. Has a nice setup for children. Selection and prices are not great but I can get over that because I enjoy a good book store. I never expect the price or selection of Amazon at a small B&M store. One of the staff has several interesting reviews published in national papers. The one star is because everytime I go in there it seems like there is some loud, pretentious, politically charged, staff member sharing their views. I'm not offended by it, I just don't want to hear it when I come there to relax. They also don't want to debate. If you dare to have a logical debate with the staff, and you share a different view, be prepared for them to try to shame you or make you feel bad for just living your life.

    Cute bookstore with a lot of charm! It has a pretty nice atmosphere and has that old comfy bookstore feel. Worth a stop in just to walk around and enjoy the interior. They also have a small cafe inside so you can grab a refreshment while you're there. For me it lost 1 star for selection, nothing they can do about that since space is limited, and some of the prices being high. It loses another star for not cracking down on masks. While they do have it posted on the door that they are required to enter, there were four people in the back area not wearing masks, and as I've already mentioned it's a small store. Posting a rule and enforcing it at the door does very little if the enforcement stops once people are out of sight.

    I've been here multiple times and this is such a unique and cute bookstore. There is a bakery inside with fresh pastries and drinks like coffee and tea. There's a really cool fountain inside that you can throw coins into. The selection of books isn't like Barnes & Nobles but that's the charm of a small book store. There are books you might over look at a bigger book store. The story time here for kids is amazing. It's Tuesday mornings at 10am and the guy is very animated and the kids are very engaged. He hands out cookies at the end and the kids can color too. Overall, worth checking out!

    What a wonderful find, this is absolutely one of the best book stores I have ever been in, it's a enchanting and very warming and peaceful place, a true throwback to yesteryear equipped with a sliding shelve ladder. A fantastic collection of 1800's books and signed first additions for sale. The staff is pleasurable and helpful with a great knowledge on authors and books. A coffee shop is located in this quant book store and the most comfortable seats to sit relax and read. If your in the area this is a must stop you will not be disappointed.

    Feels like your sitting at home but nope---you're actually looking at the table in the shop. Pretty neat.

    See all
