When I picked them up I swear I was treated like their favorite customer. The woman who helped me also helped me get an account on Libro.fm because I have trouble reading with sight alone.

Located adjacent to the legendary RayGun store, this shop feels good. Abbey knows her inventory and is dialed in on authors and topics to lead you to better reading options. Her pricing is solid, and a vast children's section is separated from the rest of the store. I know that we have found our DSM Metro bookstore!

I was really excited to see Book Warehouse in the Outlets of Des Moines. The store is fairly large…read moreand has a lot of good books. However, I did not see any any newly released books though. A lot of the books were 60% off and because I had a coupon for the store I was also able to get an additional 20% off one item. I purchased a book that was retailed at $27.99 and after all the discounts it ended up being less than $10. What a great price! Much cheaper than Amazon too! Service was fast and friendly here. I'd definitely recommend any book lover to check this place out.

I love the name! I…read moreappreciated the staff and the store's overall vibe. I was looking for a specific title, "Lovely One" by Ketanji Brown-Jackson, which was sadly not in stock, but the staff was keenly aware of it. They impressed me by recommending other local independent bookstores and asked if those stores had the book in stock. That was impressive! Free parking all around the downtown venue and a cool setting. I'll return simply because of their kindness and the store's positive vibe.

Such a cute spot to grab lunch or a latte! Very affordable!…read more I got the vegan BLT and it was great. I would have liked a little more mayo, but still solid 8/10. My mom got the Sparrow Panini and said it was really good, just a bit on the fatty side with the bacon. 9/10. Our lattes were amazing, honestly better than any other place around. I got the iced Gandalf and my mom had the iced Raven. Both were so good. Love the retro vibe and the little bookstore inside. They also have live music on the weekends. Highly recommend!
