Looking for a used book? 2nd Look probably has what you're looking for. When you enter the store,…read moreyou will see rows of shelving packed full of books. It appears they are running out of space; you will see boxes and piles of books stacked in front of the shelves. If you are looking for a specific used book, just ask. The gal working the register is very knowledgeable and will walk you right to the book you're looking for. Fiction, Non-Fiction, Documentaries, kids' books, cooking, self-improvement. You get the jest. Buy a book, get a coffee next door, relax and have a good read.

Atticus Coffee and Gifts combines two of my favorite things: a great gift shop and a great coffee…read moreshop. And out of all the new businesses I visited in 2025, this was my favorite. (Unfortunately I literally live on the other side of the country, so before my trip to Spokane ended I made it a point to stop by Atticus multiple times.) The gift shop portion of the store stocks what feels like a little bit of everything. Books, stickers, soaps, lotions, trinkets, home decor, t-shirts, art, books, cards, chocolates...and that's just what I remember! And then the coffee shop portion has a surprisingly large menu. I'm used to coffee shops in stores being more like small coffee stands; but nope, this operation feels like a fully stocked coffee shop. Plus they also serve tea, matcha, and smoothies...and breakfast sandwiches, AND pastries. As you might imagine: this all makes the store smell quite good! There aren't a ton of seats but when I visited with family, we managed to find a couple tables so we could enjoy our drinks and snacks sitting down. Their coffee is very, very tasty - I tried both hot and iced lattes during my multiple visits. I didn't have tea on-site but I did buy some of their blends to brew at home, and they are also very, very tasty. Unfortunately they don't do online sales, and since I was traveling I didn't have the space to pack up everything I wanted to take home with me. Maybe future me will have the chance to come back...in the meantime, I hope you lucky locals appreciate this place as much as I did!

When we arrived, the customer service at the bar for pickup was just as great--smooth, efficient, and genuinely pleasant. The food definitely delivered. The pretzel was excellent, paired with a crazy good mustard that took it to another level. I ordered the curry, and it was a fantastic dish--rich, flavorful, and downright delicious. My daughter had the kids spaghetti with chicken added, and she confidently declared it the best spaghetti she's ever had... so there! Overall, a great experience with standout service and tasty food. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu before giving that fifth star.

Also have a fun kids section with fun kids books and stuff. Amazingly large selection of magazine's. Just a fun place to visit! I usually stop in here whenever I am in the Valley area, just shopping for the day.

They were looking at books in the young readers section and found a book called spent. It's a comic book style book. They flipped through it and found some pretty pornagraphic images. Yes, they were drawings, but a butt naked lady and a guy with a strap on. I let the staff know and they did removed the rest of the copies from the kids section but the images are forever seared in my 12 year old daughter and her friend's minds. So we get to have a fun conversation and I get to talk to the other child parent. I did take a picture of one of the pages but I won't post it here. Hopefully staff will review books in the kids section a little closer going forward.

Love this store, but what's going on with the quality control? I love browsing the books and purchasing the books I want to read and not bringing home another. What does that mean? I will explain ... the cover is the book I want. The inside pages are a completely different book that somebody returned and glued back together. I have never seen that before. Shocked. I posted pictures. So that you have an idea of what I am talking about. Needless to say, for every book I purchase from now on, I will have to look a couple of pages in to see if it's actually the book I'm getting. What is this world coming to? I just upgraded from my old membership to the new one. Sigh. Barnes do better.
