The Cozy Corner Bookstore

One of the most wholesome, welcoming, comfortable places I’ve ever been in my life. I happened to stop in while walking past the other day and then I went three days in a row—I just couldn’t stay away! The owners were so kind and they have a bookstore kitten named Ishy who loved to play and cuddle! It’s become my new go-to stop after a bad day. They encourage you to just chill out in the shop and enjoy the space, even if you aren’t buying anything that day. They’re just so kind there, it always turns my day around. I’ve recommended it to nearly everyone I know at this point.

i love it here! the best bookstore i’ve ever been to. The owners are amazing & there’s so many books to choose from. you can also purchase a plant! btw Ishiguro is the sweetest cat ever.

Pittsburgh is very lucky to have a bookstore like this! One of the best selections of books you're likely to come across anywhere. Cozy space. Friendly owners.

This bookstore is an absolute gem. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Feel free to ask for recommendations on what books to read because the owners are very well read and knowledgeable. It's a place where you can find good reads at affordable prices. While you're there, you may even be able to meet their very playful kitten. I definitely recommend people of all walks of life to check out the cozy corner bookstore.

Most unique bookstore I have ever visited. Super welcoming. An unbelievably well-curated blend of new and used books. Any book lover should feel at home here.

Couldn’t recommend more. What a lovely addition to the Shadyside area. Amazing & growing selection of both new and used books, art, and plants. Friendly, well-read owners and a cute cat + tea/coffee. Not sure what more one could need.

This is my new favorite place in all of pittsburgh. Truly cozy and peaceful. The first time I went, I was simply astounded by the selection of books. Every book on the shelf was either a book i absolutely loved or one I was intrigued by. I perused the shelf’s three or four times bc every time I saw another book that caught my attention. Absolutely sweet owners. This is the place I now go to if I’m having a bad day because it instantly makes me feel like everything’s going to be okay haha.

Just happened upon this store when walking. I stopped in & fell in love! Tons of GOOD books at great prices. Very cozy and relaxing. I’ll definitely go back regularly!

Awesome selection, friendly owners, CATS, and super good prices.

The Cozy Corner is everything a used bookstore should be. It has a thoughtful selection, plentiful seating, and an inviting atmosphere in an old space full of character. It's a wonderful addition to Ellsworth Ave.

Really sweet shop. Love the atmosphere, lovely owners, and you get to play with a kitten. Nice selection of books with great prices. A new gem in the Shadyside neighborhood.

Great folks, great books, great vibes. Independent book sellers are so important!

Love this place! Been in twice and came out both times with something interesting and unexpected. Really good curation of titles from classics to new and interesting things. Great people too and a great vibe! A place you want to see succeed!

Awesome little bookstore with a great selection and friendly people.

This is a superb addition to the book selling community in Pittsburgh. It’s a welcoming space with a love of literature at the forefront and a cat to come greet ya.

An absolutely incredible place that is a must visit for anyone coming to or living in Pittsburgh. Lovely owners, lovely books, and a lovely cat - what more can one need?

I love this bookstore! So charming and such a great place to read and browse. A wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

Cute local bookstore. The collection is fairly small, but it's growing by the day. The staff is very friendly and helpful

Has some kind of a touch that’s hard to explain in every corner of the store. Great mix of more well-known books and not so familiar but intriguing books.

A lovey new bookstore. Great aesthetic, affordable prices, and good people.
