I stopped by New Romantics to check out the selection of books. The atmosphere of this store is…read morevery welcoming and cozy. The store is very aesthetic, all pink with girly decor. Along with the books, they had a lot of stickers and curated items. Even though the store is small, you could definitely spend a long time looking in there. The girls working at the counter were super sweet. They are happy to answer any questions and give book recommendations. Side note: if you ask for change for the little print machine, they'll give it to you even though they are cashless. Overall, this place was super welcoming and engaging. Even if yours not a big book person, this store still has a lot to offer. I can't wait to come back!

Adorable, local Latina owned Romance bookstore. Staff is super friendly, and very knowledgeable…read more Hosts for the Yelp book swap event I got to attend, and directly across from East End Market. Incredible selection of romance books, clearly marked by genre within sections of the store, and a great selection of bookish merch- stickers, kindle port charms, kindle covers, glass tumblers, tote bags and more. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially if you happen to get a new release or an autographed copy of a book! Be sure to check out the local author area- this store has a greater selection than many I have seen! Be aware, parking in the lot directly in front of the store can be hard- but, street parking is an option, and depending on time of day there's a school about a block away with parking that several businesses nearby utilize after school- but, if visiting during the school year, be aware of after school activities in the lot, keep speed down, and follow the directional signs. East End market IS across the street, so if you visit there and make the short walk, you can take advantage of the entire neighborhood and all it has to offer!

I loved that they had some of my favorite authors front and center and their upstairs is really great. They also have some adorable merchandise. I can't believe I have not come into this place until now! Especially seeing as it is right next to BriarPatch, where I eat regularly. I look forward to visiting again!

You get a tote bag, a book and a couple of sensory items. The book selection always matches the theme of the month. They recently added a create your own bookmark which is super cute!

They have a limited selection of books and I went in without really knowing what I was getting. Their concept of their book store as an immersivd sensory experience is something I hadn't heard of before and was really intrigued by. West was able to assist me and recommended a couple books that happened to be on my TBR. She was very friendly and helpful in guiding me with the experience. Their selection of sensory items were all cute and I ended up choosing a pair of socks, sparkling tea, and a cup. Depending on the genre of the book of your choosing, there is also a playlist that goes along with it. I think it's also awesome that they have a lounge space where they can host events. It's amazing to see the growth of this concept that started out as a subscription box, and now has a brick and mortar here in Orlando. Overall, I think it's a great concept that allows customers the chance to fully indulge and expand their reading experience beyond the pages.

Came by this store to participate in the Central Florida book passport. This indie bookstore is…read morelocated in downtown Sanford. I was able to find street parking, which was shocking to me for a Saturday! This store is very open and full of light. The decor is adorable. They had quite the extensive inventory of books. I bought a staff recommended summer read and it was great! They have great merchandise and punny, bookish bookmarks, bookends, etc. This indie store is such a fun vibe and I look forward to coming back, supporting local and checking more titles out!

I spent a good amount of time in the fantasy section. They also hold events regularly. I saw signs for various book clubs (good selections as I read most of them!) and they even have book release parties (the newest dungeon crawler Carl release is up next). I highly recommend a vast the next time you're in Sanford.

My best friend and I went on a quest to find bookstores we have not visited before. I saw this one…read moreon someone's instagram stories and was intrigued. First, they have a lot of books. When I first walked in I wasn't even sure where to begin but it was great to be able to browse and see their extensive collection. Staff is very friendly and let us know that they curate their books from donations. If you donate your books to them, they create an account where you can have a credit on file to use. As someone, that occasionally does donate books, this is fantastic news! Additionally, all of their books unless otherwise stated are half off the cover value which is incredible and affordable! They definitely had something for everyone there. I look forward to visiting them again, hopefully with some books to give them!

The Book Rack in downtown Ocoee is not only a great place to shop for used books; it's also a great…read moreplace to bring in any of your own used books for credit. You're not only decluttering your house, but you're helping out a small local business. With every book you bring in, you receive credit toward future purchases. I already have more credit than I'll probably ever use, but I'm happy that my previously read books are going to a good home. The store has a pretty decent used book selection with floor-to-ceiling shelving (and also some graphic novels, CDs, and DVDs). It's always hit-or-miss, so each time I go; I never know what I'll find. There's also a little sitting area with coffee or hot cocoa, if you so desire. How much are the used books? They're half off the cover price. How does the credit work? You get an additional half off the half-off price. So if a book has a cover price of $8, the store sells the book for $4. I can use my credit balance for an additional $2 off (half of the $4), leaving the book at a total of $2. There are also some $1 books on a rack outside the store. Everyone working there is always super friendly and helpful.

This is a cute and cozy little cafe in downtown Orlando that is connected to the CityArts Art…read moreStudio. Typically, when I patronize this cafe, it is for an event I am attending at the connected art studio. So, I do not go as often as I do other cafes nearby or surrounding. However, when I am here, I am rarely ever disappointed. The staff is always the sweetest, and I mean the SWEETEST. Service is also great - but I will admit, I've never eaten here. I've only ever purchased their drinks. So, my wait times are usually minimal. Pricing is always reasonable. As noted, it is COZY. So, seating is limited indoors, but for a cafe of their size, it is more than enough. Also, they always showcase art in this cafe as well, and sometimes, pending the night, there is a live band (inside or outside in the courtyard). In the courtyard, there is AMPLE SEATING. More than enough. The courtyard also usually has some staple, yet unique art pieces for your viewing pleasure.

They offer office and conference rooms that can be booked through their website or PeerSpace. They also have a podcast studio, and a dedicated content creation space is coming soon. The staff is wonderful, and the coffee is quite good. My niece booked the conference room for her public speaking and debate camp, and we had the pleasure of interacting with Edwin, Jamie, and Faith. They were all incredibly helpful, accommodating, and made the experience seamless. This is the perfect place if you need a quiet space to work, take meetings, or simply enjoy a good cup of coffee with a friend. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are in Apopka area.

I love the podcast rental room and the conference room for meetings and interviews that could be held there. I would say the podcast room is a little pricey but that's just me. The Baristas are sweet as pie. I think the flower garnish is a cute touch but it gets on my nerves lol. I will always be back tho. It's a great coffee shop and I love that they are opened on Sunday!
