Went there to buy some books with a gift card. The clerk told me that my Rewards card had expired…read more The clerk asked if I wanted to renew, and I replied no I wanted to save the money and I'd use my wife's card. We used the gift card and another coupon, the balance was modest. As I go to leave the clerk snidely said you know you could have renewed for free with use the of gift card. Told him can I do it now? Nope its too late he said with sarcasm. This is about the 5th time I have had service problems with this store. The clerks are generally rude and this incident only reminded me how bad it is.

One of my favorite parts of this particular location is their giant magazine rack which conveniently sits next to the Starbucks inside. A huge amount of seating both in Starbucks and also in the store itself. You could, and I have, gotten lost in this place.

This trip was for a children's book, ended up with a bath book that they had a few options. They were doing an event with a local brewery in Melrose which I thought was a cool collab. First time here I unfortunately couldn't find what I was looking for and parking is tricky in this area. But supporting local feels good.

They offer both new & used books, the selection seemed endless. I liked that they offer used books in pretty good condition, as well, at reasonable prices. Lots of fun bookmarks & cool kick knacks!

I have gotten some good deals on items here - same or better than Amazon on things I've bought for my kiddoes like iplay brand hats and swim diapers, all manner of Melissa & Doug toys, Skip Hop utensils, and wooden building blocks. Alex, the owner, is active in the local community and often hosts crafts and sing along events in the store during the week for children. The store gets new items in all the time, too, so every time we stop by there's something new. Definitely a great spot for kids in Melrose!

Horrible experience today. I walk in to the store with boxes covering the front enterance which was…read moreunpleasing the second I walked in. The girl behind the counter who I came to find was the owners daughter (and 12 years old.) was beyond rude, yelling at her employees, wearing improper work attire (shorts and a T-shirt) giving extremely judgmental looks to me and my two kids during our entire checkout process. Also learned that the items are extremely up-charged, seeing as to how I was close to paying 15$ for a stress toy that retails at 4.99$. I support small businesses but will NOT be supporting this one.

They offer curbside pickup for those who don't feel safe going inside. Anyone who does enter is asked to sanitize their hands and wear mask. So although it isn't very big, they try to make it safe. If I can't find what I want or it's an unusual book, they have always been able to order it for me. When I needed bulk books for a club, they ordered them and gave us a volume discount. They have a membership where after I spend an amount, I get a store credit, that is very nice. The gift selection is really great. The candles are clever and nicely scented. There are games, calendars, cards and the like. The staff is pleasant and helpful. Recently I needed 3 childrens' books for 3 ages, but I wanted them to be about or take place in New England. They helped me find the perfect choices. You can tell they love what they do. there is a really pleasant vibe to the place. Check it out!.

Beautiful store with tons of themed displays. The staff were really friendly. They had a great children's section along with fun gifts. Their candles all smelled amazing and I'm tempted to go back and get one or two. If my current book pile wasn't three feet high, I would have purchased a book or two as I try to always support independent bookstores. I look forward to making them my go to local store when it comes to books and book lover gifts.
