Books & Mortar

I recommend checking this spot out! Very cute and clean shop, nice selection of books (not a huge variety, but they have a lot of popular books for adults and kids), and the customer service was wonderful! Very friendly and helpful in finding the books I was searching for. I'll absolutely be shopping there again.

A cute store at the cherry street. Small selection of books but great ones! Interesting handwritten information for some books and other things like puzzle, notes, etc are available too. Will visit again!

Great bookshop. Wide open design with lots of new books. Plenty of a selection for kids and adults and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Recommend spending your time here!

Absolutely gorgeous, welcoming, and warm bookstore. They have an incredible selection of both fiction and non-fiction, and a great local authors selection for you to browse through. This is absolutely worth the stop in; support your local bookstores, everyone!!

Awesome shop! There are so many books in here, but it doesn't feel overwhelming. I also love that they can order something if they don't have it in stock. The only downside to my visit was having to choose what to buy because I couldn't buy it all.

Went in here a few days ago traveling out-of-state and oh my goodness this might be the cutest book store I have ever been to! It is small but everything is so well organized and cozy plus its full of local artist products too! Will definitely come back everytime im near Grand Rapids now!

Lovely bookstore. Great selection for the size. Very well kept. Support local bookstores!

A very enjoyable book store! Friendly staff, good selection of books with helpful ordering on any other books.

This is such a cool place! A proudly progressive, consciously curated, and fiercely independent bookstore. Kind staff, unique offerings, I will definitely be back!

Great find …very nice bookstore with good selection of books and other necessities!

Cozy, locally owned bookstore abounding with staff favorites to help the wandering traveler find interesting reads, should they look for such guidance

Interesting and diverse collection of books of subjects you'd be unlikely to find at any other bookstore.

Best bookstore in the state IMO! Staff is absolutely lovely, selection is inspiring and well curated. Being a customer and book club member during my time in GR was so special and I miss it all the time since moving. Books & Mortar cares about people, the city, and the environment and it shows in what they promote and the community building they inspire. This place is a huge pick me up on a bad day, and an inspiring and safe space when things feel tough. Good work is being done here, it’s so much more than a bookstore.

It's a small, friendly, neighborhood bookstore. They'll order what you want if they don't have it in stock.

Favorite bookstore in town, hands down. Jenny, the owner, is wonderful as is her staff. The book selection is always on point and very well rounded. It’s a great stop for anyone who loves a good book or who may be looking for a gift. Plus, it’s a safe space for all readers.

I absolutely love this bookstore. They have a wonderful collection of books, they support teachers, are diverse and inclusive, and work extremely hard to build our community. I am beyond lucky to have this shop in my neighborhood!

A great bookstore in Grand Rapids. Hospitable atmosphere and a wide array of diverse books. Stop in the next time you’re in the area and ask them to order a copy of Sky, the Deaf Home Run Hero!

This bookstore was a charming place in a happy neighborhood of Grand Rapids. It has books of many genres of books, children's stories, journals, cards and stickers. Jess was such a happy and upbeat bookseller. It was a joy to talk with her. Please support this local bookstore.

I have been a regular at Books and Mortar for years! If you are looking for a wide selection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, etc and a competent staff who will give you recommendations and order books promptly and keep you informed about your order, look no further than Books and Mortar! Jenny and her team are so kind and friendly and are always willing to go above and beyond for their customers and their community. I cannot sing their praises enough.

cozy little store with an amazing selection and super friendly staff! definitely worth a stop if you’re visiting the area
