Tiny little treasure. Smaller shoppe but has a little bit of everything from your standard reading sections (newly released/fiction/nonfiction/etc) to puzzles, stickers, and more. Love this location and everyone I have encountered working here has been knowledgeable and kind.

easy, non intrusive browsing. Nice selection. Helpful staff.

We love this book nook! Great selection, cozy, local, personal & welcoming. Very helpful when we're looking for books for gifts by age or interest. They are also very good about getting books they don't have in inventory. Support local!

Really lovely local bookstore. They have a great selection of current releases, as well as a fantastic back area for kids to read and lounge in. Staff was a pleasure to chat with. Absolutely recommend.

This is a nice little bookstore. It’s not big, not noisy, not a gift store, not a cafe. Just a really nice bookstore with a reasonable number of books and an excellent selection of unusual non fiction and fiction, as well as cooking, travel, children’s books, and so forth. It’s what a small independent bookstore should be!

Cute, well organized and clean store. Staff were friendly and helpful. There's also a small used book selection. Definitely recommended!

The ladies who work there are very friendly and helpful. They will order if they do not have the title you need/want. I have ordered three books in 3 weeks and they were in quickly and still at the price they would have sold it if it had been on the shelf. The store is nice and we'll organized.

Really nice independent bookstore. Love the comfy feel of the place. They have a great selection with a friendly helpful staff. They make you feel welcome. I will be back.

I try to support local when I can, but these guys are great, regardless of where you live. They have brought in special orders for me with excellent communication and great service too.

Large selection and friendly staff. The book I wanted was back ordered. They proceeded to put me on a waiting list and called right when it came in and kept my reserved copy set aside until I could make it in to purchase.

Friendly service, easy to order books by phone or in person if not on shelf. Current selection holds something for all ages.

I asked for recommendations for kids books as gifts. They even wrapped them with gift paper at no extra charge.
They ended up to be the perfect selections.

Adorable little book store with a very large selection of books. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
