Most adorable and welcoming bookstore! There are so many books but it's not too over whelming either. Very organized and clean. They also have a small cafe! There are nooks and seating around as well. I felt at ease browsing around and making myself comfortable while peeking inside books. The child section is great too. You can also find cute pins, bookmarks, totes, games and stickers to purchase.

Harvey’s is one of the best independent bookstores I’ve ever visited! They have all the newest books and best sellers, plus a banned book room, true crime nook, kids’ room, and so much more. If that’s not enough, they also have a marvelous coffee shop! The staff here is phenomenal and I love their rewards program. Shop local and keep this gem in Geneva!

This place is so cool, tons of books with many themed rooms for showcasing their selection. Small fireplace area to sit, and a tasty coffee bar. They also have cool little nick nacks, comical cards, and games/puzzles that can be bought as gifts. Will be a stop for us every time we walk through Geneva's third street.

Harvey’s tales just about the cutest bookstore I’ve ever been to. It has all the feels of a fun never-know-what-you’re-gonna-find bookstore but the cleanliness and organization of a corporate bookstore.

The place is named after the owners former Bernese mountain dog and they have little nods to their dog all through out the place.

They’ve got a nice quaint little coffee shop in the middle of the store that you’ve got to stop at. Play some XL scrabble while you sip on some great coffee.

The upstairs has a reservable book club room that is quiet and private. There are plenty of reading nooks to use as well.

Such a cute bookshop! They were having a sidewalk sale and I picked up a new book! Bigger inside than it seems. Great selection of books for all ages.

Do you ever get the feeling when you enter somewhere, you know you belong there? That's precisely the feeling I got when I walked in here. Immediately I was greeted by Mary(manager) who explained the entire shop top to bottom. There was more behind her words of merely describing the book shop; there was a passion that you can see radiating from her into all of her staff. The personal story of how this shop came to be is also extraordinary to hear and how they all have a singular purpose there. The book selection, location, coffee shop, kids area were fantastic! When I was browsing, I heard a man shout, "I can get there on Amazon!" I have to agree with the not so gentleman that you can get the material on Amazon, Barnes, etc. But what you cannot replicate on is this experience. To see people discussing books, having conversations, and getting lost in a random book is something you need to see to believe it!

What a cute book store! The place smells like fresh brewed coffee when you walk in. The place is so warm and inviting . They have a fun kids area where kids can sit and look at books. There is also a cozy spot by the fireplace to relax and enjoy a nice cup of coffee.

Harvey's Tales is a bookshop not to be missed. Roxanne and her friendly staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Just when we thought we'd seen every aesthetically attractive, well-curated nook and cranny in this historical house-turned-bookshop, another one was around the corner. Everything has been thought of, down to the smallest detail, to make book lovers and coffee enthusiasts want to stay and linger in this cozy, well-appointed shop. Great selection of books, puzzles, funny greeting cards, bags, art, stickers, coffee...a wonderful place all around. Oh, and don't miss the banned book room. Or the vast selection of Bernese Mountain Dog offerings. Two thumbs, four paws up for Harvey's Tales!

Great staff. Love all the little nooks and seating to sit down and read a couple pages of a book. Next time we go, we'll be sure to try to coffee!

Such a cute and fun bookstore! Great selection of books and book accessories. It is a literary journey through the store, as there are several rooms and cubby's to venture to. Though not so much where you get lost in the rooms, just lost in the vast selection of categories. It was our first time visiting, and we left with about 20 books! Like I said, great selection!

The cutest bookshop with the nicest, most welcoming staff! I felt safe and comfortable as a queer book lover. There were lots of pins, mugs, magnets, and t-shirts peppered amongst the books. They have a little cafe (which we didn’t get to try because it was almost closing time) and a few comfy nooks for reading. Harvey’s is great and I’ll definitely be back!

Such an amazing place to visit compared to the various bookstore I've visited in the past.

The layout is so organized and colorful with tons of books and novelty items to choose from and the employees are very helpful and friendly. They also have a cafe on their first floor where they have a ton of delicious treats and drinks! Next time I'll have to try them out when I can!

Definitely coming back when I meander to Geneva again!
