Nice Barnes & Noble location…read more This is one of the "modern" versions and is a little smaller than other locations, but still big enough. With those modern versions, inside can seem like a maze and if you're used to the non-modern locations, it can take a little getting used to and knowing where you need to go. Everything was clean and well stocked. If you're going for movies, there's a very small selection for that. They also have CD's and of course vinyl. Of course they have the selection of books they always have and if something is not in the store, they can always order it for you. The employee who rang me out was very friendly and welcoming. This location shares the space with several other businesses and is part of a larger shopping area, which includes a Walmart. There is plenty of parking, though the overall parking lot is not the best designed. Overall a good location and one I'd return to if I'm in the area again.

A lot of people wanted to help get her book into the school systems. As for the store itself, well marked and easy to navigate around.

Plus the staff is highly knowledgeable and helpful (a former book store owner and writer, a PHD professor and writing tutor, a children's library and literature expert, and every staff member has a genre they help make picks in and support in store!). The store is bright and welcoming and they offer free coffee, tea, waters, and snacks plus a free kids craft table that's always set up and available. Their kids section is delightful with a great safe space to leave the kiddos to play and read while you shop. The overall vibe at this store is so welcoming and their events are so fun that this is a favorite stop of mine every weekend !

My top-tier chum from the Kingdom of Sussex and I came here for Stop #2 of the 2nd Annual NJ…read moreBookstore Crawl (a 5-star extravaganza in and of itself) last Saturday morning. We hit up all three Sussex bookstores, and this was my chum's very clear favorite of the batch. I was a big fan too, even if ultimately it wasn't geared toward my literary demo. Our carefully planned itinerary suffered some issues with this one because Black Dog apparently moved fairly recently to more spacious accommodations further up 15. My chum frowned in confusion in a parking lot in the downtown Lafayette area for a few minutes before we got our bearings and retraced our steps north. I think that's on our Crawl Itinerary Expert but without context/knowledge of the move (which must have been at least KIND OF subtle since she lives within a few minutes of here and had no idea) an easy mistake to matter. No matter. Very easy to find once we had, you know, the actual address. And for the record, my chum said this was a HUGE upgrade over the prior location. All's well that ends well. I was REALLY hoping that someone took the name Black Dog Books literally, so it was an absolute delight to encounter a dark-tinted, wizened canine on the premises almost as soon as we walked in. Anya the chiweenie was a real trooper and an excellent addition to the festivities. I will say she's clearly an older pooch and didn't seem enormously thrilled by some of the younger human pups frantically taking selfies and whatnot (in my mild defense, I professionally took one tasteful photo and then gave her some space), but she handled it like a champ. I will say this for the record - every indie bookstore should have an accompanying canine chum. Apparently the Lambertville bookstore had a bloodhound, which is next level (massive FOMO but is what it is). But this was a good one. Thank you for your service, Anya. Unlike its literary counterpart in Branchville, Black Dog has much better lighting and much more space. It's no knock on them, but I just like the mild claustrophobia and overall personality that comes from having to get creative with the space you have and the massive amount of books to display. All due respect, this didn't feel as unique to me. I will say that out of the three bookstores we went to up here, Black Dog was the most enthusiastic about the Crawl, which is probably a huge reason my chum had the best experience here. They were giving away raffle prizes, naughtily had free wine(!) available before 11am and someone offering free fairy hair. I took her up on that generous offer but then belatedly realized it meant I had to stay still for more than five minutes. I just wasn't made to be an adult. My other slight issue with this bookstore (and again, this is me and I'm sure plenty of people have zero problem with it) is it just doesn't have the inventory that other places do - they leaned into presentation and more chairs and non-book products. And that's not necessarily a bad thing at all, but for me, it meant there was less overall space and options for the books I might potentially purchase. Also like a lot of bookstores in this day and age, a little too much chick lit for me; just not my thing. Very familiar with being a chick already; hashtag 1984 birth. The proprietors were VERY nice and accommodating. I didn't notice, but my chum said one of the employees was walking around giving customers recommendations based on their interests, which is a nice touch if welcome/slightly solicited. You felt good vibes throughout the store, which is important and should be a pre-requisite for any small business. (Truly love the Crawl for bringing stuff like this to my attention). Shameless judging books by their cover, I ended up purchasing Anthony Doerr's 2021 novel Cloud Cuckoo Land. Haven't gotten a chance to read it yet, but I selected this one because the design on the front was intriguing and it had stickers denoting it as a NY Times Notable Book and a National Book Award Finalist. We'll see if I agree with the powers that be. Pleasantly surprised at the abundant literary options up here in the Kingdom, and a solid stop on our adventures.

When I first started going to The Bookworm 25+ years ago, they did not have a large section on Eastern Philosophy, yoga, meditation, or anything like that (a subject I've been studying for most of my 50 years). They now have a wonderful and varied selection. I like this bookstore because it invites authors to come and speak. The bookstore is quite in touch with what's going in in the publishing world-- and an active participant, too. I remember when Harry Potter was all the rage. The Bookworm made that extra special for the kids (and adults!). I wish more mom and pop shops like this were still around. I'm currently disabled and unable to shop at the store, but I have ordered books, and I received them in a timely manner. One of Bernardsville's treasures. They sell more than books! Great selection of small gift items, too. I love this store!

I often drink my coffee black, and Jimmy's has the best cold brew I've ever had. It's incredibly smooth, flavorful, and not overly bitter. They also make amazing specialty coffee and matcha beverages, teas and refreshers, and super fun seasonal drinks. The fall drink menu right now is especially delicious. Tons of cozy autumn flavors: Pumpkin Crème Brûlée Cold Brew, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Cinnamon Roll Matcha, Apple Pie Chai, Caramel Apple Macchiato, and the S'mores Frozen Cappuccino and the Campfire Latte with toasted marshmallows. They're all so yummy, but my personal favorite is the Pumpkin Crème Brûlée Cold Brew, which has pumpkin cold foam and a torched sugar crust. Jimmy's Coffeehouse is also a great brunch or lunch spot in downtown Clinton, with avocado toast, smoked salmon toast, paninis, pastries, and other café options. The Turkey Pesto Panini is my personal favorite. They also offer gluten-free bread, which I really appreciate. I'm especially excited that they'll be adding breakfast sandwiches soon! The atmosphere is one of the best parts. The coffeehouse has huge windows with tons of natural light, exposed brick, and a beautiful view of the iconic Red Mill and waterfall. There's also a gallery wall featuring work from a different local artist every month or two, which is such a nice way to support the local arts community and always gives you something new to see. Jimmy's is dog-friendly, has free Wi-Fi, and is great for meeting a friend for coffee, getting some work done, or spending a slow afternoon in Clinton. The space is also available for private events and bookings, which is great if you're looking for a unique event space in downtown Clinton with scenic views. And lastly, the staff is kind, welcoming, and professional. If you're looking for the best coffee in Hunterdon County, a cozy coffee shop near the Red Mill, or a great café for breakfast, brunch, or lunch in Clinton, NJ, Jimmy's is absolutely worth a visit. After more than a year of coming here constantly, it's still one of my favorite places.
