This bookstore is located in the Fort Worth area and has a nice selection of books for all ages. I actually think their children section is much larger compared to other stores, which I think is perfect for families. Personally I prefer fantasy/fiction books and that specific selection was much smaller compared to other stores, however they had some of the most popular titles. Besides books, they have a nice selection of stationary items, puzzles and other games. They definitely had some very unique finds I hadn't seen anywhere else. Last but not least, they do have a rewards program and for every $100 you spend you get credit to your next purchase which I thought was pretty nice and a good incentive to support local businesses. If you live in the area I would highly recommend joining their program.

This bookstore is beautiful (see video) and has so many offerings (besides books), some of which you will only find here. The owner and employees are very nice and patient. They were super busy today as lots of folks were here, but they were also polite and professional. I took a list of events with me. I will return for events and this is my new gift spot.

But if you are looking to browse books (or DVDs or music), this was a good experience. The staff were friendly and willing to give recommendations. I have been to most of the HPB in DFW, and I visit four locations on a regular basis. HPB Ridgmar's selection is on the bigger side, enough that the categories get as specific as "quilting" and "Texas football." (In other words, there are a zillion books here). Honestly, it's a bookworm's delight. I found several books and DVDs from my to-read/to-watch lists. The prices were on par with or beat the same items from other HPB locations. This HPB location also ranks toward the top in cleanliness and organization (books kept in alphabetical order and easy to find despite constant client browsing). The children's area is clean and inviting, with stuffed toys to entice kids in. The store also has a few tables and chairs, which I appreciate more the older I get.

This took place on Thursday, May 14th, 2026 around 7:45 PM…read more I have been a customer of this store for more than ten years. During that time, I have consistently chosen to support this location and have recommended it to others. My most recent visit, however, raised concerns significant enough that I no longer feel comfortable returning. I am low‑income and shop exclusively in the clearance section. On this visit, every item I selected was clearly marked clearance. At checkout, the cashier (name on tag: Ivane) isolated one book and stated, "You have the wrong sticker on that." The statement was delivered in a manner that was abrupt and accusatory. Given that all of my other items were clearance, the implication that I would intentionally misrepresent the price of a single book was both illogical and inappropriate. When I asked for the correct price, the item increased to $39.98. I declined the purchase. As I exited, another employee offered a "bye" that was noticeably forced and insincere. The overall atmosphere -- from the register to the door -- conveyed discomfort rather than customer service. I was wearing a visible Star of David. As a Jewish customer, the tone and conduct of the interaction left me feeling singled out and unwelcome. I cannot speak to anyone's intentions, but the experience did not align with the standards of fairness or respect this store publicly promotes. After more than a decade of loyalty, this experience was not only disappointing but concerning. I will not be returning. Given the seriousness of this incident, I am currently evaluating my options for addressing it further. I would prefer to resolve this directly with management before taking additional steps. I am open to being contacted so this matter can be appropriately addressed.

Unfortunately, cupcakes and muffins aren't items I'll consider purchasing again. Note: The shop name has changed. Unsure if there's a new owner.

From the few photos and the name, I thought it would be more of a children's bookstore but I was so wrong. As soon as you enter, the amazing staff welcomes you and is eager to help you find any books you are looking for. Right at the entrance they had the fantasy and romance section which is a personal favorite, and I immediately found a couple of books that have been on my list. I absolutely LOVED that they had self published books from indie authors, which is so rare to find at any local bookstore (you usually have to wait for them to be re-published by a publisher to find them anywhere besides Amazon). They also have a children's section which is super cute, and I found a couple of things for my little one. On the top floor they have a couple of couches for you to hang out and a section of used books. Frankly, this was one of the best bookstores I found in the DFW area, and I can't wait to come back and support them!
