Team members were all polite and kind, including introducing us to Leo, the store canine. He is, clearly a very good boy, and deserves all the pets you can give when you go! Store is organized well by topic, and the basement is not to be missed! We found a book for less than half of what Amazon wanted for it and my wife was impressed with the condition. We'd rather give our money to a local shop than the big A any chance we can! Great to have another option with good pricing and value for unique finds. Looking forward to regular visits in the future.

The moment I walked in I was approached by a woman doing a petition. She asked me to sign after…read moreverbally giving me info. I told her I'd like to read about it before I sign and she kind of looked at me like I'm crazy and said "I like to be more informed before I make a decision." She told me no one else had to think about it and I told her I did. That was weird and uncomfortable, especially when she turned from me and asked my wife. She gave the same answer. Selection is pretty broad but the store is very political and it's obvious. They have a sign that said "everyone is welcome, except ICE.", Black Lives Matter, gay pride, and anything that is demeaning to republicans. It's honestly distracting and disappointing. Someone who may not have the same beliefs may not feel comfortable walking around with fascist stickers, and everything that is demeaning towards "the right". Value is good and as I said before the selection is quite broad. There were a lot of pro-gay books which you never really see anywhere else. There are also all kinds of self help books and everything else you might expect. Overall I do recommend this place, but I can see how a large majority of people would feel really out of place here. That aside, it's a really nice establishment with very friendly staff. Not so crazy about the woman in the front pressuring me to sign her petition. I'm sure she meant well though.

I even found a book on my TBR downstairs in their used section, which felt very lucky - especially for $7!

I had a Cinna-Maple Latte because it's my absolute favorite kind of coffee to have and it was really good for a cold February night in St. Louis.

That was greatly appreciated and my stomach thanks you! I will return!

I came here last night looking for a coffee shop late last night for my iced caramel latte. This place has been on my list of places to visit in STL, and I finally did it last night. My visit for an iced caramel latte turned into a delightful surprise. It was a quick in and out, but I stayed longer than planned. The shop was hosting a music open night, and I enjoyed a live performance until closing time. I shall visit again during the day, check out their book selection, and stay in to enjoy my cuppa.

I was in the children's section looking for a book for a five-year-old and there was a family with their kids' reading books while they shopped, it was so sweet. I didn't stop after I found a book, I had to look around at all the cute other stuff they carry beyond books. A St. Louis section, candles, puzzles, games. Because it was the Holiday season they had check-out downstairs. I pulled a sucker and got to choose a book wrapped in brown paper, so it was a surprise. Also got a wooden key ornament to hang on the tree, so fun. Don't forget to browse the Romance side of the store, lots of goodies there as well.

I only ended up buying a game this time, but I'll definitely be back to spend more time browsing the books!

Am a little partial to local bookstores and my star rating reflects so compared to this…read moreestablishment's avg star. So, to sum it up - the place is cozy cramped, but organized chaotically, and am here for it. They have popular books from contemporary authors although limited in titles. They have plenty of classic novels and a wide range of specialty topics. Books are both new and used. Price is retail but you can have that instant gratification vs waiting for package ordered from online. When searching for a specific author or title, don't be afraid to look through the stacked books on the floor. Two level bookstore but most of popular interest are on the main level.
