    Bought this book and went to Sorellina next door to read it.  Loving the book so far. The store was very well organized.

    The store was very well organized! The ladies were very helpful. I enjoyed looking at all the books and having to choose just one.

    This is such a nice book store. Right in the heart of downtown it's a huge open space with a large selection, with some unique books items and it's extremely clean and so well organized. The ladies working were super nice and pointed me right to the mushroom section where I started hunting for a mushroom hunting book. There was a better mushroom selection here than all the other books stores I've been to, so it was a good problem deciding which one to get. I ended up getting "Mushrooms of the North Woods,") because it was written specifically for the North Woods and by people living in them and also a big factor was that it was printed in the United States (the other was printed in China-no thanks).

    Love this place! It's in the middle of downtown, next door to the theater, and full of books, board games and fun knick knacks. Love the magnetic book marks! My daughter and I are avid readers and enjoyed browsing the shelves here. They also have a nice cafe and comfortable seating. And for some reason, it's more personable than Barnes & Noble. Perhaps because it's not a chain? In any event, we loved it.

    Awesome selection of books with some rare finds. Always always on our list for when my husband and I are in town. The coffee is great, too.

    Great place to spend a relaxing afternoon of browsing for books that I don't need to have...but…read morelove to buy!

    Blue Vase Books is INCREDIBLE and I hate that I'm not located closer to it! This place is, as…read moredescribed by my friend when we walked in, a thrift shop for books and so many other kinds of media! The store is 95% used and 5% new - truly just one shelf at the front of the store with some popular, new books and that's about it! Books probably account for about 80-90% of the store, but Blue Vase also offers used records, board games, and some other music/movie items. But my friends and I came here for books and boy were we satisfied! The prices here!!! That's where we must start. All adult books in paperback were $2.99 and hardcovers were $3.99 (all unless otherwise marked) and you cannot beat those prices! All of their books that I pulled off the shelves were in great condition, so they are very intentional about stocking their shelves with good quality products, and I loved the way this store was organized! Things are grouped mostly by genre - cookbooks, sports, fiction, new fiction, young adult, classics, romance, horror, etc. Naturally, the fiction section is the largest and spans an entirely long wall of the store and that one was hard to look through because there were just SO many titles. Just know you'll be walking through this store with your head at an angle reading all the titles! I found the most success within the new fiction/young adult areas AND the awesome Michigan/local reads area at the front of the store! These shelves were so lovely and I definitely snagged a lot of books that I've either heard good things about or were just curious about them from what I read on the back of the book. All in all, I ended up getting 20 books for just a little over $100. WHAT A STEAL! I happened to snag a book that one of the employees at Blue Vase Books published as well, which I think is SO cool! There were also a lot of cute stickers and mini book magnets at the check out counter, so I got a little lost in those as well! The employees were so patient with us as we squealed over all the cute and delightful things and were just so kind and lovely! Pay attention to the hours here as their hours are limited. They're open 4 days a week and only from 10 am to 6 pm, but trust that it's completely worth a trip here! When I was chatting with the employee who was checking out my books, I asked her how often the books refresh and she said daily! They get about 3 giant truckloads of books each week that they sort through and put onto the shelves in real time! So you are sure to find something here and different every time you stop by! They also have an online store with great deals as well and a good selection of their inventory on their as well! I love it here and will be stopping by every time I'm in the Traverse City area no matter what!

As you enter you will encounter all things cherry as there are many different foods, drinks, and other items for purchase. It may feel a little overwhelming with the amount of things in the store! My family and I got to enjoy various samples of all things cherry, my favorite being the cherry gummy bears. We headed over to the wine counter in which we did two wine tastings for $1 each. The staff member who served us was knowledgeable and informative. Both of the wines I got were delicious! Overall we had a great experience and would encourage anyone to make this a stop while visiting the downtown Traverse City shops!

Especially if you need to pick up gifts for in-laws and the neighbor who gets your mail when your out of town. Not super nice gifts. But cute gifts or interesting food stuffs. Spoiler alert: The food stuffs you eventually buy will be made with cherries. Cherry wine, cherry jam, cherry salsa, cherry barbecue sauce, cherry candy... Some of it's great, some not so much. It's large. It's packed. It's touristy. It has oven mitts with cherry designs and aprons with clever sayings. You've been somewhere like this before. If it's your thing, they do it pretty well. If not, this store will not change your mind.
