Perhaps the coolest bookstore in Roc, just based on book selection alone…read more There is a great selection of rare books that is fun just to browse, but if you're looking for something, I'm sure the bookseller could help you find it. They also have a nice selection of used books and large selection of new books. The book deals (of the BOGO variety) inspired me to buy a number of books. The bookseller was very kind as I was trying to figure out which books to buy. This was a great stop on the Rochester Book Crawl and I'm glad to have been introduced to this bookstore! I'm sure I'll return if I'm looking to buy more books.

So cute! And awesome…read more More vibrancy on Monroe Ave is just what we need. Especially to have a place that is community-minded. This Black and queer owned bookstore with an open pantry in the back will bring so many people together! Already the events being planned and the books being sold are impactful.

This bookstore is definitely the cutest in Rochester…read more There are two main rooms that create themed ambiance with eye-catching decor. The store sells all kinds of romance books, from your traditional romance genres to fantasy, dystopian, etc. I visited on the Rochester Book Crawl, and I'm glad I did because I'm not sure I would have otherwise-- romance is not usually my genre. However, I found many books and other items that I was interested in. There's also a great selection of bookish accessories like kindle covers and charms, stickers, pins, and book totes.

Loveee this bookstore! Such a great selection, so many books! Great layout too!…read more This is another bookstore that I visited as part of the Rochester Book Crawl. It's a bit of a hike from Rochester but was definitely worth a trip to check it out. There were so many books that were organized in helpful sections. The decor and overall vibe created by the layout was great as well. Books were reasonably priced, including a rack of paperback classics. The bookseller was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Showed the employee working a picture of the item and he went out of his way to get this for us. He explained some of inventory was in boxes due to returning from a convention, but he would look into it. He sent a picture to the manager who confirmed they had the item and he went into the boxes to grab it for us. He really made a huge difference for us, as this was the only thing our 7 year old wanted for their birthday. The employee was so helpful in answering any questions we had and made our experience pleasant. The selection at the store is great and we enjoyed browsing the variety of products. Will be shopping here again!

If we start with merchandise, you can find almost anything you could be looking for. Figures, trading cards, pins, international snacks, stationary, drink water, clothing, plushes, mangas, movies... should I keep going, because I absolutely can! The selection is huge and regularly changing. It can be a bit hard to find older anime/manga merch but as of yesterday I was able to find some Trigun(1997) items which I thought was fun! If you or your children like Pokémon, you're in for a treat!! The staff knows so much about everything!! Each of them are the human Wikipedia of their favorite genres. It's so refreshing to be able to ask if they know something like --- and be directed to something you will love! They are welcoming and warm, if you have questions don't hesitate to ask. You will be helped and educated! The atmosphere is comfortable! You don't have to worry about feeling out of place, this place is welcoming to all. The TV in the front is always playing a different anime which is a cool way to find new anime's to watch! My husband and I started playing in the Pokémon and Final Fantasy card tournaments just recently and everyone is so warm it's wonderful. We instantly felt welcomed. If you like Anime, Manga, international TV/Movies I'd highly suggest going!
