Located in Durango Springs Plaza on Spring Mountain and Durango, near CJ's Italian Ice & Custard
Marites D.

Buffy's Book Boutique is an incredibly fabulous bookstore named after the owner's puppy. They're located on Durango and Spring Mountain. You'll find them at Durango Plaza behind CJ's Italian Ice Cream. There's good parking. Current hours: Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 7pm Thursday to Saturday, 10am to 8pm Sunday, 11am to 6pm Inside is bright, spacious, and beautifully organized! I love how the entire boutique is wonderfully furnished and cleverly decorated in awesome LEGO themes, it makes the place feel so inviting, happy, and playful! I wanted to see what books are available, and they have an amazing genre selection for sci fi & fantasy, history, magic & mythology, science & tech, self development, social science, reference, suspense & thrillers, crime & mystery, young adult, romance, and classics. They also have cool books for cooking, mixology, brewing, humour, gaming (like Dungeons & Dragons), plus a used books section. In the far back corner is a super cute children's area. I'm impressed! Buffy's Book Boutique is no ordinary bookshop and offers so much more. They sell various cute merchandise like magnetic bookmarks, tote bags, and stickers. There's snack bins for potato chips! There's a Buffy's Book Club too! They meet every month, and you can find the schedule on their website. They even host fun events like a Book Bedazzling class! There's one coming up on September 5, 2026 at 5pm to 8pm. It's $20, and they provide all the supplies. Also, they're the only bookstore that offers Coptic Bookbinding. Pricing is $30. I noticed an upcoming workshop for Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 3pm to 7pm. This is a great class for people who have attended a workshop before or consider themselves crafty. I checked the availability and found out that the class is full, and they fill up fast! They do offer it every weekend, so you definitely want to book ahead. Just a note, they're having a release party for the new Sarah J. Maas book, celebrating A Court of Thorns And Roses Book 6, coming on October 26, 2026 at 8pm to 10pm. Ticket price is $15, or $45 for the book and event entry. Overall, this was an exciting and pleasant visit! The staff here is very kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, and helpful!

I just discovered this gem!! Awesome bookstore on the south part of town. They have a small coffee station inside with lattes and matcha. They have quite a variety of genres as well as games, journals, and small trinkets. I enjoyed being there while browsing everything they had and I thought the prices were reasonable! Customer service was great as well. If you're a book worm add it to your list!

Cute little bookstore with a cute little doggie! Mostly new books with a small used section. Lots of stickers, bookish paraphernalia, and special editions.

if your goal is to support more local businesses, then look no further for your book needs. not only buffy's book boutique an independent bookstore (and one of only very few in las vegas) but it's owned by a dog named buffy! the store is pawsome, and is covered in murals of miss buffy herself! beyond having an awesome selection of books and stationery/cute items from local artists, they also have board game rentals, tables to sit at, and legos! they also host events like book binding and book bedazzling events, and support the community by hosting book club meetings as well! i would definitely recommend following them on their social media to stay up-to-date. i love the cards placed throughout the store with the booksellers' recommendations and i really appreciate that there's a cozy place to go when things feel overwhelming to pick up a gift (for myself). everyone is super friendly! there's such a huge variety of books too and i think that everything is fairly priced. support your local independent bookstore and make a visit to buffy's :) ​​

Loved all the murals of Buffy! Such a cute store with so many bookish goodies and stickers. The staff were so friendly! Definitely a must stop on a bookish adventure to Vegas

I love checking out local bookstores. I had the opportunity to visit @buffysbookboutique last month after a wedding rehearsal. My husband was actually with me and enjoyed the concept of the bookstore that is filled with legos, books of all ages, and of course the cute mascot, Buffy. We snagged children books and I snagged cute size romance books. Prices are also reasonable! Definitely will visit soon! . Workers are friendly and helpful!

Let me begin by saying that I am a BIG time book lover and Buffy's Book Boutique is a veritable heaven for book lovers, lego lovers, tarot & oracle readers, children, coffee lovers, people who love to journal, and anyone that just enjoys a good game of Pac Man! The energy in this store was incredible. So much love has been poured into every single thing. I was so delighted and I encourage everyone to go and see this place for yourself, because it's awesome! Pure joy! We were given free cocoa & coffee with our purchase. Did you hear me? Free coffee! I'll say it again - FREE COFFEE! Seriously, who could resist that? Don't forget to say hi to the super friendly book store owner - she appreciates scritches and petting - her name is Buffy and she's a 6 year old Bijon Shih Tzu! I have always loved libraries and book stores - especially local ones. Tommy and Angel helped us out - they were super friendly, helpful, kind (again, free coffee & free cocoa - who can resist that kind of kindness?!) Buffy's Book Boutique opened on April 5, 2024. You can follow them on Instagram for upcoming events & sales. They can host a book club if you contact them in advance. And they sometimes do children's story times. Please go check this place out - it is a true gem, and I hope this store stays here for years & years & years!!!

You can keep your IPad, Kindle, Tablet or any other e-reader. Give me a real book to hold in my hands forever. It will always be my preference. Thanks to Daniel Q (fellow Yelper), I discovered this cozy, warm, and homey bookstore. Upon entering I was greeted by the lovely and delightful Ashley. Being it was my first time, she walked me around the store and showed me where everything was. She made me feel so welcome. This bookstore is fairly new on the scene but hoping it sticks around for a long time. They carry new and used books. The books are broken down by category and a separate table features new releases. Along with books, they have some incredible Lego sets that you may purchase. Many are set up adding to the decor of the store. Also they carry journals, pens, snacks and gifts. The store is named after Buffy their dog. Many of the new books offer a Buffy discount which is fantastic. I have never been in a bookstore that gives a discount on new books. Thank you Buffy! They also take donated books in good condition. I donated some today. The walls are painted and decorated so beautifully and I enjoyed the sitting areas, the kids area and all of the Lego setups. So colorful and vibrant. I ended up purchasing a book I have been wanting to read and the price included the Buffy discount. Yay! Be sure to grab a Buffy Newsletter before leaving the store. This newsletter gives you all the info on upcoming new fiction, tales for tots and even includes a word search at the end. They also offer online shopping. Parking is no problem as they are located in a strip mall. Happy to support this small business and may they continue to be successful. Be sure to give this new bookstore a shop!

Our purchase

Stopped in with my kiddos today after seeing this business pop up on instagram. They were having a little scavenger hunt promo which was lots of fun for me and my 4 year old! Even though we didn't win, we had so much fun. There's a large selection of books of different genres as well as other things you'd expect to find at a store like this. Stickers, bookmarks, candles, etc. What was completely unexpected was the wide array of Legos and games! I am not a big Lego person but I couldn't help but admire the different builds they had on display. Some of them even moved! My kid was so impressed. There was also a great section specifically for kiddos that had a Lego table and an area to look at books. I tend to read on my Kobo and the only physical books I purchase are my "trophies", books I rate 5 stars or higher, and I was excited to find out that you also can support the shop through bookshop.org/shop/buffysbooks if you're an ebook reader. They also have a small selection of used books and we found a book to add to my kiddos' collection as well as a board game. We will definitely be back!

A cute and unique little shop with more than just a book focused inventory. This is an amazing place to come to buy a gift for someone! The vibes are immaculate. Check this place out!

Amazing service, was going to have them pick up my books for a third time and had no problem…read morebooking my appointment on the website. Thank you .

They texted that they cancelled b/c the driver couldn't find the location. No call, no text from the driver. I gave very clear instructions as to how to find my apartment as well as the gate code. The food delivery people never have an issue finding my place, and I literally copied the same instructions I give them. So...that just tells me no one came out or ever was going to. I now have two very heavy boxes of 90 books sitting at the base of my stairs. Terrible service. Would not recommend. I was just trying to donate to a better cause than Goodwill, but I guess that was a bad idea. Horribly run. You can't even speak to a person. You just have to leave voicemails. Don't waste your time. **Update: As you can see from his response to this Yelp review, the owner does not take responsibility for the poor customer service. My account is not a fraud & I am still actively reviewing other businesses. My books were all in pristine condition and all pretty new (see pictures). Mostly hard cover new-releases, best sellers. They were not water-logged or insect infested. How does he know the condition of my books if no one ever showed up to get them? Here's a hint...Do what you say you're going to do. Keep your appointments. Don't slander people who are trying to donate almost $2,000 worth of books to your organization. It's not a good look. Tom, clearly you have a lot of time on your hands if you keep posting responses to my Yelp review. Maybe if you put more time into your business, it would run smoother. The point is, I had an appointment at 11:00 am. The books were at the base of my staircase as I mentioned in my reservation. They were still there at 1:30 pm, so I called and I received a text that the driver was on his way. That is 2 1/2 hours later. I opened my door again at 5:30 pm and looked down my stairs, the boxes were still there. The address I provided is my correct address. I even included my building number, unit number and the gate code. There is a map by the gate to direct your driver to the building number I provided. If every single Uber Eats driver, Amazon driver, Door Dash driver, Fed Ex driver, UPS driver can figure it out, surely your driver can too. And if not, why no call or text? I would be happy to provide additional directions, if the driver was having trouble. A no-show is poor business. A no-show with no notification is even worse. If you couldn't make it, a simple call or text would have been fine and I would not have been upset. Inconvenienced yes, but not upset. The fact that I had to initiate not one but two calls SIX AND A HALF HOURS after my scheduled appointment coupled with the audacity that you have to lie and slander me is why you have this one-star review. Do better.

Yeah these guys are great! It's always amazing feeling welcomed and appreciative for being at a…read moreplace where you're not oblige to shop. It's not my first time at the shop since making this review, but every time I walk into the shop, it's always the same great experience of feeling welcomed and amazing customer service. The shop feels like a candy store, but for comic book readers. It's always well-maintained and clean and I regret to say I always manage to stay longer than I want too (which is not good for my wallet). They have an abundant selection of collectibles, graphic novels, manga, and comics (current and back issues) to choose from. If you can't find what you are looking for, they can try to order it for you and purchase at the shop later. When new issues do come out, staff are always giving out good recommendations and pitch out smart sales to their customers (also bad for my wallet). If you live close by here and love comic culture, consider yourself lucky because this is one of the best local comic shops here in the Las Vegas metro area.

Hubby called them ahead of time, one week, before heading over there to (1) make sure they were…read morebuying comic books and which day they do this (2) which was Thursday. Left the comic books in the car. Hubby went over there, on Thursday, but they looked at all of it, and said he had some good items, but unfortunately they were not able to buy anything from him, due to the fact, that they made a big purchase earlier. Why didn't they say anything about that on the phone? Felt like this was a waste of time. This is somewhat shady. Not good business. Two stars, because the clerks were friendly. Noticed that the positive reviews are for the Customer buying experience. Didn't notice any for the Selling side. Sorry, gotta spread the word about this here.
