    Grassroots store front
    Jen R.

    My daughter and I love this bookstore and visit often. They have a great selection of both new and used books at very competitive prices. They will pay cash for your used books, vinyl records and blu-rays and the selling process is super easy and efficient. The store is well organized and easy to find the title/author you seek by category. The staff has always been very welcoming and helpful. It is locally owned and we love to support our community business owners. They have an outside sale where everything is only $1 and on Sundays, you can fill a grocery-sized bag up for a mere $5! Come check this place out and pick up some good reads!

    Great old book set

    Nothing fancy, but full of treasures. What looks like an old service station at one time, has been this fabulous bookstore for years. I pass it a lot coming and going to Costco. And every once in awhile stop to check out new finds. GR is very well organized. Inside all the areas are well labeled. On nice days there are sale racks out front in the parking lot. During the summer go to the west side of the building and through the gate. There are 30 or more tables with boxes and boxes of books on clearance. Still very well organized- each table is labeled with the type of books in the boxes. GR carries brand new and used books. They have their own private parking lot and some street parking that is also free. They accept credit cards and cash.

    Was visiting Reno and came across this bookstore! So many different kinds of reads. Cheap prices on hardback and paperback books! They even have current best sellers! If in the area please check them out! When I visit Reno again that is one place I will always go! Wish they could come to Texas!

    Calligraphy book, used, great condition, only $1.99!!!  So excited
    Cassandra A.

    Visited the bookstore while waiting for our car service to be complete. They have a great kids section and my son got a book on coding, a new fiction book, and a little crochet art project. I got a book on calligraphy as I'm practicing hand lettering. The book was so helpful! The staff was nice, the selection was great, and the prices were very affordable! I will definitely visit again!

    Children's cookbooks
    Stephanie G.

    There's something to be said about eclectic bookstores. With a huge bookstore in town already, and many people switching to electronic books, I love disappearing in the crowded shelf mazes, of tiny little locally owned bookstores. Grassroots has so much inside, you would have to spend awhile to see it all. I've spent some time wandering and reading...yet I'm always drawn towards the children's book area. That's where I can often times, find books from when I was little. The hungry caterpillar, Clifford the red dog etc. Books I remember reading. My favorite thing to do however is to go to the children's cookbooks section and pick out the cookbooks for my son. I have him look through the pages and pick something out to make for dinner, then we go shopping together, and then we make the dinner together! I loved that they had a whole section of children's cookbooks to choose from, and many more books for people of all ages in many different genres! If you're looking for an amazing locally owned bookstore to get lost in, grassroots is the place! Go check it out!

    Available parking on site, with an outside lot and inside store. Love having this option for cheap books in our community.

    Todays great finds!

    What a major local gem in Reno. It only took one visit for…read moreme to become a fan of this coffee shop/bar in Midtown. You can tell that a lot of thought and heart went into the place. The decor, the entertainment, the products all struck a chord with me. On one side - a super cute pour over/loose leaf tea shop with some records for sale. On the other - a cute bar and lounge area equipped with a vinyl player (Bring one in on a Monday for them to play). You have some house pants, checkered floors, and cool vinyl covers all over the walls that make for some great & hip atmosphere and vibes. Their restrooms, though small, and clean and cool. Their pour overs are so flavorful, strong, and made with beans grounded on your visit. I love that they're flavored and sweetened in a way that allows the coffee to shine. If you're into sweeter drinks, ask for a bit more sweetner or add in a brown raw sugar packet yourself from the straw station. I hear their chocolate pour over is a hit. Matchas - prepared in a similar fashion. Slightly sweetned with subtle flavorings. I tried their carrot cake matcha today and really enjoyed the housemade syrup they used to flavor it with. I also love that they offer loose leaf teas. Their chai was nice, fragrant and great with a little sweetner and milk. Shelby over at the bar area was sooo patient with explaining their menu and suggested a isla bonita pineapple shrub drink for a non alcoholic option. Similar to their other drinks on the coffee side, it was tamed in sugar yet still fun and flavorful. I really enjoyed the tang from the apple cider and the spice from the tajin chili powder as a contrasting flavor. Double check their website for bar and coffee shop hours as they differ from one another. And follow them on Instagram for updates on seasonal specials & themed gatherings. A lot of cool local DJs spin here for special events and parties during the holidays. Tip: sit next to the pour over station next to the menu. It's so entertaining, especially with Sydney working the station (thanks so much for the chat and entertainment. Honestly one of the friendliest baristas I've ever met in Reno). Both bars are set up in a way that allows for meeting others and socializing. Check it out. It's a good time. Notes *Catch live jazz music on Wednesdays here for free. *free street & neighborhood parking *bagels & cream cheese available at the coffee shop *they have fun with their seasonal drink specials. I dig it.

    Another five star review for EP Listening Lounge! Came in for another specialty coffee ($5.50?!…read moreWhat a great price!). I grabbed the Velvet Latte this time and absolutely loved the Red Velvet color and flavor of the latte. The barista was very kind and kept a great conversation with my friend and I! I also love that they kept up their Fantasies in Chocolate award - woop woop! See you all again soon!

    This is the most well-stocked Barnes & Noble bookstore I have ever been in. Their fiction section…read morewas incredibly diverse and had a lot of my favorite authors. The shelves were brimming and there was plenty of staff on hand to help find things and answer questions. Normally, I am an independent bookstore supporter and I do still buy the majority of my books from smaller independent booksellers. Unfortunately, I haven't found an independent bookstore in Nevada -- North or South -- that compares to the likes of Vroman's in Pasadena (if you have a recommendation, I am all ears). That said, if you are in the Reno area and want a brick and mortar bookstore with a huge selection, this is the place. And they do offer some decent discounts, so keep an eye out for the books that have been marked down. I was able to pick up a first edition of Patti Smith's new memoir at 50% off!

The employees were nice, particularly the young lady that helped my niece; she patiently looked up the title of the book even though my niece didn't have all the information. While inside Barnes & Noble, we also stopped by Starbucks to indulge in some sweet treats before making our way out the store. Even though our visit was fruitless (book-wise, not drink-wise), we still had a positive shopping experience.
