Bill Fork Bookstore is an absolute dream for anyone who loves exploring new recipes and cooking styles. They have a wide selection focused on global cuisines, baking, wine, and cocktails. I recommend visiting if you need some fresh inspiration in the kitchen. It's also the perfect spot to find a hostess or housewarming gift. Or, if you're picking out the next great read for a cookbook book club.

Bold Fork Books is a delightful bookstore that specializes in cookbooks and food-related books and gifts. As a food and book lover, I felt like a kid in a candy store! The cozy store offers a wide range of cookbooks that provide instruction on how to create just about every cuisine and baked good you could think of. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend checking out this unique bookstore then next time you're in DC!

A wonderful, niche little bookstore with the most helpful staff! Went on Independent Bookstore Day and one of their staff members, Clementine, was so helpful! My partner and I wanted to find the perfect cookbook for our tiny apartment and she delivered! She asked questions and took her time and it was incredible!

I moved out of the neighborhood years ago but do visit every couple of months. I was surprised to see the cafe had gone, however always pleasant to see a book shop anywhere these days! Whole small in space the shop manages to feel spacious and really houses a lovely variety of reads. Staff are friendly and helpful and there is a very lovely, calm vibe. I picked up a sweet new item for Baby Rock Star. Looking forward to my next visit!

Today's haul!

To anyone who loves cookbooks: there are so few really good bookstores in the country that specialize only in cookbooks - this place delivers and will make a junkie out of you! I've been collecting (775 now) for a couple decades now and thought I'd seen everthing .. BFB had a bunch of surprises! There's even a really good section for young cooks. I can't wait to go back!! I now need more bookcases (and a 12-step program)

See all

Georgetown

What a great University Bookstore! I spent several hours here wandering the aisles looking at all…read morethe different Georgetown merchandise available. Your prices are typical school bookstore expensive, but nothing exorbitant. T shirts with Georgetown emblems were around $18 and sweatshirts around $60. I was surprised to find a "Grumpy cat" stuffed animal with a Georgetown tshirt on, as well as Boo, cutest dog in the world in similar attire. The books/textbooks are upstairs, clothing and computers are downstairs. They have numerous employees wandering the store asking if you need any help. I asked one for a medium sweatshirt size and she promptly went to the back and retrieved the right fit for me. They also have a great selection of birthday cards, snacks, baby accessories, and general school supplies. If you want to pick up some Georgetown memorabilia, or if you are a student and want to unwind after a test and get a little shopping therapy. Either way, I recommend this bookstore.

This a pretty decent sized college bookstore with plenty of Georgetown swag…read more Granted - unless you went to Georgetown or love the Hoyas, you probably won't buy a lot of sweatshirts or t-shirts here. However, in terms of the amount of swag - there's plenty to go around and there's a lot of variety. In terms of books, well it's a student bookstore. You can get plenty of academic related items here and other stuff too if you're in a pinch for say, a bookbag or seriously need some stationary. However, what I like about this shop is the decent variety of clothing options and the fact a lot of noted name brands like Nike, Under Armor and other companies all offer their own line of GU apparel and you can find it all here in one place. Oh btw ... Hoya Saxa!

Great selection and wonderful vibes. The best part all of the staff recommended books throughout…read morethe store. The reviews are thorough and helpful and makes you feel lol they care.

I stopped by Lost City Books with a friend yesterday, when we spent a beautiful spring Sunday…read moremorning on a walk and mini bakery crawl through Adams Morgan. We both love to read and love bookshops. I love big bookshops, little bookshops, romance bookshops... Lost City Books was a wonderful surprise and immediately became one of my favorite bookshops in DC. Why? It isn't huge, but it makes such good use of its space that I found it to be one of the best stocked independent bookstores I've visited in a long while. I always try to support local independent bookstores when I can, and some of them are tiny (if your neighborhood bookstore is one of the tiny ones, remember they'll probably place orders for you if you want/need something they don't have in stock). But - at the risk of sounding silly - we got lost in time at Lost City Books. We meant to just pop in and quickly pick something to take home. But we wandered through their fiction section and staff picks, pointing out books to each other we loved or have been meaning to read and all of a sudden a half hour had passed and we only really explored one tiny section of the shop. We walked out with four books between us, too. The customer service was friendly to boot. Just a great independent bookshop and another reason to love Adams Morgan.
