    "Protect the immunocompromised ... and destroy the environment!"

    I always enjoy checking out small bookstores but much to my chagrin this store requires a mask on Sunday. Since the data show that mask mandates are ineffective, and I find masks incredibly uncomfortable and unnecessary, I declined to enter the shop. Please plan ahead if you want to check out this shop on a Sunday.

    Paint night!

    Love Maggie Mae's! Their paint nights are so much fun and I always find a few books to buy. Their employees are super helpful and friendly.

    First time and we adored the shop!!!!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this CUUUTE little bookshop! I really hope it can open it's doors again after this pandemic is over! The staff is super cool and sweet - VERY good with young kids! That sounds like a "duh" point - but i've been to MANY MANY MANY bookshops with staff that clearly weren't cut out to work around children. The shop itself has SO MANY FUN things to offer, not just books! Their book selection if vast and fairly local, they feature lots of diverse authors and genres. They also host events for kids like storytime, character visits, Birthday events etc. GREAT PLACE TO SHOP!

    What a great bookstore! Don't let the name fool you, while they have a GREAT selection of books for kids, that is far from all they carry. They have a lovely shelf of YA books, and one of books for grown ups, plus a cool smattering of pins and socks and cards and... You just really need to go in and check it out! And the people!!! Awesome, friendly, helpful and woke!!! They invited in the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to do a drag queen book reading, they have a great selection of feminist materials, and generally support positive social values!!! Stop in and say hi!

    See all

    I should also mention that I've gotten to know the owner, Sho, who is just a really great business leader.

My wife and I have frequented almost every hotel, and most of the pubs and taverns, and Edgefield is easily has the largest variety and quantity of offerings. If any location can be considered their flagship, Edgefield is probably it, and their care and attention to detail shows here. You'll find everything here, from apparel to craft brews, liquors, ice cream (spiked!), glassware, soaps and lotions, souvenirs, tchotchkes, doodads, and gizmos galore. There's also an espresso stand, which is a nice perk (hah)! If there is something McMenamins brand that you crave, there are few locations comparable to find what you're looking for: 23rd Ave, Old St. Francis (in Bend) both come to mind, but one of them's...a bit of a trek. And besides, who isn't looking for a reason to come to Edgefield?

Although while in the gift shop, BEFORE checking out I…read moreasked to charge a small gift (of $11.95) to my room (the room was under my name).. apparently she told me I could not. Following I checked out of my room and went back to the gift shop to purchase the item - with my check out receipt I found that my partner (who does not share my name) had charged almost $100 worth of stuff to the room and his name wasn't even on the room!!!! That's wack. Ruined my happy experience. Why was an unmarked guest allowed to charge to a room and an actual guest was not??!

I missed going…read moreto the store before they closed so I looked on-line to see if the same sale was happening there, it was! At check out, I could opt for in-store pick up. I chose this store since it's the closest to me and the one I typically go to. On-line purchase completed. I swung in today to pick up my order. The person working, I wish I knew their name, told me that they cancel all on-line orders. No reason given. I asked if they would honor the sale in-store since I had proof I made the purchase before the sale was done. They responded with just a no. No reason, no apologies, no understanding. I asked about the money that was taken out of my bank account for the order, they said you'll just have to call the 800#, I can't help you. It was just very rude and unfriendly. I'll have to find a new location to go to. Unfortunate.

Cute jewelry, clothing, toys, etc. Honestly, can spend such a long time walking around and debating on what you want to buy and try! The card selections are also really great. Very fun unique cards that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. Lol The attendant was also kind and helpful. Siging up for the crown rewards is a good idea. You accumulate points and earn free items or store discounts. Highly recommend! Ample parking spaces available surrounded in a shopping center near World Market and Bath & Body works.

They have used and new books for sale at an exceptional price. They have stationary, puzzles, games, and cute accessories for your bibliophile in your life. We visited to purchase books for my bookshelf, as I am finishing my first book while we are on vacation. I found the second volume of a used edition book for 7 dollars off the full price. I also found a used edition of a book I've been searching for in California! Could I have bought it online? Yes, but I enjoy using my time to support mom and pop book shops instead. Each floor of books is categorized and labeled, so you know where you're headed. For example, one room is called the "gold room" had all the manga and romance books. Dependent on what you're looking for in genre, they've got it! If you are looking for a specific book, they have kiosks on every floor for you to type and look for your book. We used their computer, and our book was labeled by aisle and directed into the blue room. We bought two books, magnets, a patch, and a tote. It is a wonderful store and absolutely matched my expectations. We spent a great time walking through each room and checking out what they had to offer. Truly a magnificent collection of books!

Many used books are in great condition and a good price. It is great for souvenirs and gifts if you are visiting Portland from out of town. I love how organized and efficient it is when you're looking for a book and many staff recommendations if you're just there to browse and pick up a book. Staff are everywhere and available. Crowd wise, it seems to be busy all the time but there is plenty of space to maneuver around people if needed. Always a great way place to stop by when traveling to Portland!
