We stopped in at this adorable book and coffee shop (name has been updated to Mr. Beans Books &…read moreBeans) on a day trip to Key West. The gentleman who owns it bills himself as grouchy and surly, but we weren't fooled. He's clearly passionate about his business, his cat, and his coffee, including commissioning his own personal blend from a local roaster. Our lattes were smooth and delicious (almond and oat milk). Although pricing is pretty reasonable, especially for the Keys, I do wish they didn't charge extra for plant based milks. WIFI is available with a $5 purchase, and there is a variety of books to browse and/or buy while enjoying a coffee or pastry.

There is a great selection of books, gifts, and local picks, as well as a really welcoming vibe. To top it all off, I met Judy Blume there! It was an absolute pinch-me moment. She was so kind to welcome us in, show my daughter and I the little kids book area, and give us a recommendation- Maurice Sendak's "Chicken Soup With Rice". That was a memory I'll keep forever and reason enough to give this place five stars on its own!

The selection of books is plentiful, ranging from self help, romance, children's & cookbooks. The gentleman at the front is friendly and knowledgeable. The best part of this bookstore is not just the price of the books but the children's area. It is in the back of the bookstore, and it is like entering a surreal world, filled with books, arts & crafts, plush animals, a comfy couch & the walls are decorated with children's artwork. Personally, as an adult it was amazing to experience so I can only imagine what it is like for a child. I tell everyone about this bookstore and am excited to go back!

I didn't realize that this B&N had two floors, which are my fav type of stores. Something about it just makes it seem that much more grand. The parking is easy in the plaza its situated in. Walking in, it feels super open and easy to navigate. The employees are are friendly and willing to help if you need to find a book or section. The store is overall clean with a big entertainment and toy area once you get to the second floor with an additional book area. It's easy to end up spending an hour here perusing all the sections. A great B&N!

When I heard they were moving to the Palms at Town & Country, I had to go and say goodbye to this location. I will miss the double doors entrance and big welcoming entrance. The only positive thing about this move is that they had the whole store 50% off. I browsed through every full book shelf and picked up some books to purchase. However, seeing the empty book shelves was heartbreaking. I'm sure their new location would still be great but I will miss coming to this one. Thank you Barnes & Noble for being a staple in Kendall.

Key West Island Bookstore is amazing because it has a mix of new and used books, so this makes finding that SK first edition a little easier. Though we didn't find one during our visit, there was plenty to look at whiling exploring the shop. When other bookstores aren't selling banned books, Key West is and that's how it really should be!

By far best boutique in Key West. Or, the world, TBH. This place is filled with treasures, and…read moretruly one of the best little shops I've ever visited--curated like a museum, and with high quality items that also evoke museum vibes. There's a European air and flair in the place, with items I've never come across in other shops, and I love that! There were lots of scented items, and I love how she had glass cloches over the individual scents, since I am scent-sensitive. I was afraid when I walked in I might not be able to take it, but it wasn't overpowering. There were so many home and gift items in here, I could have easily dropped 10x the amount of money I did If I'd brought a bigger suitcase. From the delicate new and vintage jewelry, to the frameable greeting cards, to high end teas (daily sample available), and cotton frocks sprinkled throughout, I felt like I could have spent two hours in this small shop and still not have seen everything. Yet, it doesn't feel overwhelming, because the merchandising skills utilized here just made it a pleasure to wander this way and that, admiring all the little touches. Honestly, it is an exemplary shop. I'd rank this in the top 5 shops I've ever visited anywhere, and I wander into a LOT of shops! This is a must if you are in Key West. You can get a cocktail anywhere, but these elegant displays and thoughtfully curated products are not to be missed!
