I really liked the vibe at Waldo's & Company. It's not just a coffee spot, it feels more like a…read morecreative space. There are books, local art, and little details everywhere that make you want to look around instead of just grabbing your coffee and leaving. I had a cappuccino and it was smooth and well made, but honestly the atmosphere is what makes this place stand out. It's the kind of place where you can sit for a while, relax, or get some work done without feeling rushed. Also loved the concept of supporting local artists and the overall community feel. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want something a bit different than a typical coffee shop.

I came here to get a nice Gettysburg cap. Emma helped me with all my purchases. I bought a few big…read morecandles too. I also got a handmade wooden cat to put on Annie's fur (my cat). I will keep her memory in the little wooden cat. The store carries a lot of exciting handcrafts and candles. I recommend those big candles because they have the nicest scents and are perfectly made to last a long time. Also, the caps are made with great fabric, not cheaply made. I'm a cap collector, so the fabric and how caps stay on me make a difference. There are other items that I was thinking of getting, but that's next time. I'll ask Hubby to take me back here when we return to Gettysburg. The store was also very clean. I loved the store! Recommended.

I have been touring local booksellers in Cumberland county, and I was delighted to discover the…read moreBook Junction. I went to Shippensburg University and worked in this town for seven years, and never once did I find my way into this shop, but I am so glad that I found it now. It's hidden back an alleyway, and while there's a small sign out front that you can see from the street, you need to know where it is or you'll miss it. The selection available at the Book Junction is truly the best in any shop I've visited. I walked in looking specifically for one book (Neuromancer by William Gibson), and not only did I find it (seriously I've visited 8 other bookstores including Barnes and Noble and none had it), but I also found books five OTHER classic science fiction books I'd been unable to find elsewhere too. Paperback books are generally priced half off of whatever the publisher's price was on the book, which is pretty reasonable. The owner told me this mom and pop shop has been open for 23 years this year. Do yourself a favor and go check the Book Junction out. It's one of the absolute best I've come across and you won't be disappointed!

I stopped by Four Seasons Books to do a little browsing after lunch when I was exploring…read moreShepherdstown a few weekends ago (a local had recommended it). I was really surprised by it! It's larger than it looks from the outside (there's even an upstairs with used/old books that would be easy to miss, since the staircase is sort of hidden behind a wall of the shop), and they have a pretty great selection for a small independent bookshop. I just needed one book (I thought I might finish the memoir I'd brought with me on my weekend trip to the area), but I left with...3? I can't even remember. I kept finding more intriguing books! It's charming, has a great inventory, and seems a great shop! With so many independent and even chain bookstores closing, it feels like a lot of towns/neighborhoods don't have a bookshop anymore. Shepherdstown residents are lucky to have a shop as wonderful as Four Seasons - a place big enough that you can browse and find a book you didn't even know about before you wandered in. Really a charming shop. I'd happily return if I make to Shepherdstown again!
