Golden Braid Books

This is my second time here and it’s so darn cute and fun. If you’re into the woo woo or love pretty little things and books, Golden Braid Books is the perfect place! The staff is friendly and the store smells great.

There’s a coffee shop that is fantastic and the bathroom is exceptionally clean.

Don’t forget to pick up some handmade local incense sticks too!

Lovely, very intentionally-curated selection of books & a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. Between the incense & Cafe, it smells heavenly. I enjoyed visiting & browsing the selection of tarot, books, and metaphysical supplies.

Have been a guest for years, even before they recently stocked my new book. I love wandering the aisles and finding new books. I've enjoyed having my aura reading and other readings by their psychics. And I can't forget the restaurant. Yum!

Came from out of town and wanted to buy a book for my sister. Didn't know what to get and needed some help, I was met with an employee Emily. Whom was very personalable and extremely knowledgeable. I felt very welcome and the energy of this establishment was very positive. Will come back next time.

Hraefn did my reading yesterday. At the end he asked me how he did and I just said “that was weird” thanked him and left to get coffee. I just want to say I was pretty taken aback and still processing so that was the only thing that came to mind.

During the reading not a word came from my lips. I asked no questions and gave no insight to what I am dealing with. I wanted to see what he could do. While he gave me some good generic advise at first. Then he pulled some wildly specific and correct interpretations about my current life from the ether. I want to say I’m a very skeptical person. But I know that he is not full of it. Hraefn is legit. He said some things that only I know things I don’t share. He is good with those stones.

I go to Oasis Cafe and Golden Braid Book Store 3 to 5 times a week. Oasis Cafe is my favorite restaurant in Salt Lake City and the book store is fabulous. I highly recommend both of these places. The service is excellent and the energy in Oasis and The Golden Braid is out of this world. It’s a hidden gem. I’ve been going to both places since they opened many years ago.

Amazing little shop with gifts and books your just not likely to find anywhere else. Store has a groovy vibe.

What better way to kill a little extra time between appointments downtown than swinging into Golden Braid Books? This place has such an interesting selection. The staff is always super charming and helpful and it also doesn't hurt that they're next door neighbors w/ the lovely Oasis Cafe!

10/10 would recommend!

My favorite book store. especially love the children’s section and specially crafted birthday cards 🤍 🙏🏼

You should go there even when NOT looking for books, It is the best place in SLC to drain your stress away. Seriously.
If you just go in and sit quietly, your shoulders drop and you start breathing slower an deeper. Within minutes the relaxed feeling kicks in. It might be a feng-shui thing, I dont know. I used to come in and just sit. Thats all.
If you have been there you probably know what I mean. If you havent been there drop by for 30 minutes and just sit. Whether you even look for / buy a book; visiting there is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
Need to completely de-stress? Well the address is right here in the web page.

Long time Sonoma Lavender customer. It was fun to finally be able to stop in on our way back to CA.

Everyone here is so nice. Had dinner at the Oasis Restaurant, then off to the psychic fair held monthly.

Every time I visit SLC I have to stop by Golden Braid. Wonderful inscents, jewelry, books, tarot cards. And they have a vegan restaurant attached. 100% wish we had a place like this where I live.

Loved this shop. SO MANY good books, just sad that I don't have enough room in my luggage to take all them home 🤦🏼‍♀ They also have a nice selection of scented candles and body products, and jewelry. Not very many tarot decks, but most of the ones they do have are ones I hadn't seen/heard of until now.

This place was great for my first visit! The staff was super friendly and very eager to help with any help I needed. Beautiful displays of books and toys and stuffed animals. Loved the displays on cosmology and smudge sticks, and incense. Great selection of items!

The Oasis Restaurant that I had brunch at was very delicious and everything was prepared amazingly. They have a choice of your food to be vegan.

I really enjoy this store, have been a couple times over the years. The products support local and small businesses. I also really like the selection of books. The main genres are self improvement, spirituality, children's books, and non fiction. They also do tarot readings and have an array of incense and smudging tools. The people have always been very kind. I will continue to be a patron here :)

Delightful book store!

I love how the shop is set up, with most of the books fronted so you can see what they are, rather than trying to cram as many books in as possible. The entire place has an aura of peace and awareness. I love the specially curated sections which focus on various facets of existence (grief, healing, gender studies, etc.), and the great kids' section. So many interesting non-book items too, like socks, incense, tarot cards, magnets, toys, and seasonal items. I was delighted to see books from some of my favorite authors, including my favorite mortician, Caitlin Doughty (look her up!). This bookstore is a gem.

I'm so glad I discovered this well-stocked and thoughtfully laid out independent book store. I will definitely be back!

I was in the Book store and so excited as I have been in Denver for a long time. A customer service person came over to help me look for a particular design for cards the variety of books etc was good except I am a lover of Numerology and they only had 4 books. I went there. For that . But my love for the atmosphere is what draws me. I sat and meditated by the pond which I love. I will ALWAYS choose Golden Braid for my books or just to sit and relax in the environment and Peaceful waterfall:0)

This is such a fun little store to look through while you're waiting for your table at the yummy restaurant Oasis! Tarot cards, crystals, books and more 🤩

Their staff is very friendly and amazing. They have an amazing selection on self-help, spiritual, and esoteric literature. A great place to get gifts for someone you believe could use a little light in their lives (if they're open to it).
