I have been to Keaton & Lloyd several times and have purchased at least one intriguing book I…read morehadn't heard of before on each visit. They might not carry the book of the moment that TikTok insists that you read right now, but they do have a great selection of books you might not find on the shelves at a chain bookstore. (And you can always make a special order.) Spend some time browsing and you're sure to find something you hadn't known you needed to read! All of their books are new, and there are some reduced-price items available. The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly without hovering, they have not one but TWO gorgeous cats, they host a monthly book club and other fun events, there's a loyalty program, and they do a lot for the community. Indie bookstores are thin on the ground in this part of the state and I was thrilled to find Keaton & Lloyd just a short drive from Utica. Head to the Rome Arts Districr and pick up something good to read - you'll be glad you did!

Cute bookstore on main st. that shares an opening with another nice cafe. This bookstore has an…read morearray of well organized books and sections and a lot of miscellaneous tchotchkes. While you should be mindful and squeezing in and out of the isles to avoid knocking into people or items, this is a fun local bookstore that too many cities lack these days. I think they did a nice job.

This place is chock full o' reads. The first room is all fiction, new and used…read more The middle room has classics, recommended, seasonal, a "spice shelf" with pepper ratings, cool book merch, book bundles. At the checkout counter they have a bunch of bookmarks and stickers available. The mid-back room is all non-fic, and had two chairs if you're the type who wants to sit with your wares for a moment. They back room is used clothing and antique fabrics, and DOES have a fitting room! There's a room for kids and teens too. I recommend you have good knees going in as there are books in every possible nook, high and low, including under tables. There's a read for every flavor and a recommendation for every reader. The shop owners are very knowledgeable of their stock. Parking- for cars I believe there's a back lot? But it's probably easier to just street park.

This place is sooo cute. How has this been around this long and I just went for the first time? I…read morewas in Marcellus for something else and saw this place and decided to stop in and it is amazing. They have new and used books and it is in a big house so every room is a little different. I got the first four Harry Potter books for my son for like $19 and even though they were used you couldn't tell. I talked a lot to the two women working there who were super nice and helpful and they said if you donate books you get 15% off. This is an amazing place for interesting and different Xmas presents. Give it a try for sure.

Love that you are able to browse at your own pace and get assistance from the passionately well read associates! They sell beautiful gifts for the readers in your life to enjoy!

More than a used bookstore, this is a spiritual pick-me-up. I came in to sell some used books and…read morewandered the many rooms while they were being appraised. Soothing jazz was playing, the antique rugs made everything feel welcoming. There are several rooms full of used books in various categories. Everything was labeled and easy to navigate. They also have tables of used records and shelves of movies. This is the kind of analog, community-based place that so needs to exist in today's world. I hope it's always here in Syracuse.

This is a great find. In my search for music - this is a hidden treasure. They have vinyl…read morerecords, and cds. Not looking for anything in particular just want to add to my collection and find something that I once had on a record and now on cd. I found a few items upstairs (main floor) and went downstairs - next time I will bring a flashlight and spend more time there. They also have books there too!

Charming little bookstore with tons of great finds. When we drove past, I legit squealed because,…read morewell, books! Right as you walk in, there's a cozy café tucked to the left with some fun seasonal drinks. Since it was April (now May as I'm writing this), they had a spring menu. I got the Peep Mallow Latte (so good!). I love Peeps, so the moment I saw it on the board, I ditched my lemonade plans without hesitation. The store also had quirky bookmarks, a few signed copies of books (always a cool touch), and a discount section full of hidden gems. We didn't end up buying anything this time but it was still such a lovely place to wander and frolic through.

A lot of space available to sip your coffee and read your book! Love this bookstore because they have a wide variety of books that are discounted too! Staff is great and helpful with anything.

I'm convinced they have every book I'm interested in…read more When you walk in, you're sure the placed is disorganized and no one could possibly find anything. Then you start looking and the place is as organized as any library. The real problem is they have too many books. Good luck making a decision! I like reading books on sports (well written ones), historical biographies, political non-fiction and American literature. They have it all. What they don't have, they will find. The staff is always very helpful. And everything is reasonably priced. On your first trip, just go in and look around and you'll find books you didn't even know you wanted. If you're not likely to be back for a while, bring a list of books you're interested in to save time.

I'm a sucker for a used book store. But a used book store that also sells vintage baseball cards…read moreAND is in Cooperstown?!? I actually went twice! When Wifey and I went to Cooperstown I was like a kid in a candy shop and wanted to take everything in since we only had a few days. As we wandered up the main strip we were mostly looking at places we'd want to come back to for some deeper dives and this bookstore was one of them. After going to the museum then next day we stopped back in and I left with a couple of vintage cards and two great books. The guy let me haggle on the cards and gave us a discount on the books. If I ever get back up to Cooperstown I hope this place is still around. Great selection, pretty well organized, good prices and the guys working both times we stopped in were great.

My favorite local bookshop in Syracuse!!!!!

Each time I come here the staff is extremely helpful in assisting me whether it's just fishing something I am looking for or suggesting a new series. The price is not expensive even as a local bookstore. I truly love it here, it is one of my Syracuse staples.

So much thought is put into the window display and how the books are organized. They give you…read morebookmarks with your purchase. Very reasonably priced and better to shop an indie bookshop than a chain. Everyone here is so pleasant and if they don't have a book you are looking for, they will order it for you. Such a welcoming space and they even do different events.
