Octavia Books

Great bookstore! There is plenty of literature to choose from. Time can easily escape once you're in the shop. If you enjoy reading, this place is worth a visit. 📚

This bookstore is amazing. I can't imagine how it will get any better with the expansion, but I know it will manage to do so. Great selection and very helpful staff.

This place is an absolute dream! The recent expansion is only elevating the experience. I visited yesterday and left with tears in my eyes! That ever happened to y’all?? The two clerks working were so helpful and kind - I went for two different purposes and felt seen and acknowledged with both requests, resulting in 100% satisfaction in the items I let with. Yall I can’t say it enough - please support this cute independent bookshop!

Love this bookstore. It's beautiful inside, has a great selection and the awesome and very knowledgeable staff can always order what they don't have in store. They also have great recommendations if you don't really know what you're looking for.

This bookstore was incredible! It had a wonderful selection of books (especially kids' chapter books) and it is very large. The gentleman who was working was welcoming and kind.

We attended a wonderful reading by two local poets at the bookstore. The selection of books in the store is impressive and the space itself is beautiful. A wonderful asset in a city with a diverse and interesting culture.

An excellent indie bookstore currently expanding its space and selection. They always have great recommendations, are super helpful, and keep the store really well stocked and organized. It’s in a cute neighborhood too, totally worth the trip.

Super cute bookstore & the staff was great!!! I wish Octavia Books was closer to my hometown because I would be a regular here!!

Such a great bookstore. Wonderfully curated selection - the books they carry are really quality and you can tell they've been thoughtfully selected. Amazingly helpful and enthusiastic staff - you can tell these are folks who love books and are very knowledgeable, with extensive suggestions. A wonderful place, and I'm so glad they're expanding.

Amazing local book store. Strikes a difficult to achieve balance between old school/cozy book store and new/hip/modern space.

Wonderful independent bookstore. Great selection outside of what you see in big box stores. The staff are so kind and have great recommendations!

It was my first time inside the bookstore in a long while. It’s a great bookstore, a small selection because of the tiny space.
That’s why I was sooo happy to see that they’re expanding!!! Woohoo!
More space means more books, in a real live independent bookstore!

I love Octavia Books. It’s a quaint bookstore nestled in a residential neighborhood uptown. They have a great variety of books with a large selection of local authors. They also do regular book signings with a lot of the local authors. The staff were very friendly and one of them was also a Stars Wars expert and could help my friend with his purchase. I can’t wait to go back - I could stay here for hours looking at the books.

Great staff. Frequent meet the authors and signings. So glad this local bookstore is thriving and expanding.

I LOVE this bookstore. It's such a special place to go browse and inhale the happiness that is hundreds of books.

20231214 - This store has expanded! There's so much more space to browse, and I'm loving it. Plus, they have a fun, complimentary gift wrap station. Octavia knows how to make things special.

Wonderful bookstore-great selection of books, including many New Orleans and Louisiana-related titles.

Light-filled space with inviting displays of well-chosen books. Friendly staff

Super friendly book store with amazing collection of books. Highly recommended.

I loved this store, they had a great selection of books and collectibles! The customer service and conversation are easy going and very genuine as well.

Booksellers were very helpful and they have a very large selection of books!
