I am an avid reader. Scratch that. I am a voracious reader. I read 170 books last year. And Maggie Mae's is my favorite book store. I buy books from them. I attend many of their fun events, I read along with their book clubs. I pre-order books through them. I just love everything about them. So, if you want a book, puzzle, journal, stickers, bookmarks, etc., Maggie Mae's is the place to go. You will be in good hands with Sho, Alyse, Amy, and Brandon. Oh, and they have a large selection of books with sprayed edges. I just picked these beauties up this afternoon. Happy reading! read more

Nice selection of books and gifts as well as super friendly staff. LGTBQ friendly! ‍

Such a fun bookstore! Beautiful art, fun atmosphere. I found several books for my kids, and enjoyed talking with the owner. Some friends and I taught a class on native plants here, and it was a delight to work with Alyse. read more

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. read more

I preordered something in September of 2025 and it was shipped in November. I never received my package. I understand this isn't this bookstores fault but when I reached out for help, they basically said it was out of their hands. I went to file a claim with USPS to get my money back and the post office said that the package didn't have any insurance so I couldn't make a claim. I let the store know and they basically said "we hope it shows up". I'm incredibly frustrated and disappointed. I'm not sure if they are lying about having used insurance or what but they weren't willing to give me any kind of support. read more

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! read more

Maggie Mae's Bookshop - First time and we adored the shop!!!! - Bookstores Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

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! read more

What an awesome book store! The outside is deceptive- this place is huge inside! So many beautiful books carefully selected to fill this colorful space. I'm so happy we stumbled upon it, as we will definitely be back! read more

Great books, Sho, the owner is very nice! Alyse, the worker, always helps pick great books! And the Where's Waldo every year is so fun!

Oh wow do we love Maggie Mae's. They opened when my kids were in elementary school, and I loved taking them there as a treat. As my kids have grown to be adolescents we just find ourselves appreciating it more every year. It is the cutest and friendliest bookstore you have ever seen, but don't let the small size fool you -- they have a great selection. They also have a handful of books for grown-ups, and I've found several books that I've wanted there myself. Even if you don't have kids, stop in and you won't be disappointed. I should also mention that I've gotten to know the owner, Sho, who is just a really great business leader. She works hard to make sure Maggie Mae's is a great member of the community. Just before the pandemic they gave a donation to the annual Human Solutions fundraiser auction (benefitting the Family & Women's shelters); You better believe I'm going to be prioritizing my book orders from Maggie Mae's over Amazon from here on out! read more

I love this shop so much! They have a great variety of items and I've already started my holiday shopping! I recently ordered online and was able to pick up my order quickly from their curbside bin. They have a nice online selection, and you can also always call or place an order online for any out of stock items. I'm not shopping in person right now, but I know they offer appointments and walk-in shopping experiences, also. The staff is so helpful and appreciative of their customers. I'm so glad we have this special shop in town! read more

Best children's book store ever! They do so many fun events and things for east county AND even give a discount for teachers! I have ordered with them a few times now and they delivered the books to my house in Fairview for free! Also placed a large special order for my son's 3rd birthday - they ordered all the books I wanted and dropped them off. They also offer curbside delivery. Awesome customer service! read more

Absolutely adorable shop filled to the brim with books (and delightful giftware that compliments those books). The majority of their books are for young readers, but they have a wall of adult books, as well. Kids books span board books for little ones, easy-readers & picture books, to young adult. Two of our family's favorite authors, J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) & Mo Willems (Gerald & Piggie, Pigeon), each had fantastic representation when we went Christmas shopping. Customer service was perfection, they have reading nook for kiddos, and they are happy to special order whatever you need -- so skip Amazon & give your book bucks to this fantastic small business. read more

I took my niece and nephew to this store for the first time on Saturday. It's definitely a hidden gem! I asked the kids if they prefer this store or Barnes and nobles(where we usually take them Bc of the selection) and they said Maggie's was the winner! This is a small cozy store with a great selection. The woman working was an absolute joy as well. We found our new book store! read more

I saw the signs for this charming bookstore on my walk in downtown Gresham. Inside are several books for young children through young adult and a small adult section. Two of the best parts were the friendly service and educator discount. Take your kids and buy a book and get one for yourself. I'm excited to see a new edition to Downtown Gresham. read more

I first popped into the store on a whim a few months ago and instantly liked it. There is a wonderful selection of kids books, and there are also some good options for adults as well. I just stopped in again and had the lovely surprise of having the owner remember that I'd come in before. Really she makes the shop sparkle - very kind, ready with plenty of good recommendations if they're wanted, and quite personable. I'm a student so my budget doesn't allow me to purchase books there as frequently as I'd like, but I'm always thankful when I do! I absolutely encourage everyone to support this lovely local business! I promise that it is so worth the service and the connection you'll experience. read more

We visited this little bookstore for the first time today and my 9 year old is already asking to go back. All of their items seemed to be very thoughtfully chosen for the store and the customer service was wonderful. They have a good variety of books for every age along with some very cute cards and even some clothing items. read more
