I just LOVE THIS BOOKSTORE!!! First time I've stepped into a Books & Books. I love the warm and…read morecharming vibe of the space. This one is located in the heart of Coral Gables. You walk through an outdoor entrance with black iron gates and the first thing you see at this bookstore is a bar! Ha. They have a cute outdoor patio seating area where you can eat, drink and read a book. There is an indoor cafe space and seating area as well. There are literally books EVERYWHERE!!! On the left side is an entrance to one side of the bookstore and on the right side is another entrance to the other side of the bookstore. Super organized with tall shelves of books, books and more books!!! f you walk past the bar outside and pass the outdoor patio area, there is another entrance in the middle to the indoor cafe with more seating. The indoor cafe entrance also connects to the bookstore inside too. We stopped by here during the day when we were walking around Coral Gables grabbing lunch and checking out the local museums. But we didn't have time to browse so we came back at night after dinner. At night, there's a bar/lounge vibe which is cool. They also had live music when we were there on a Saturday night. Beautiful bookstore set up and organization. They sell cute gift items too and the kids section is great! Love everything about this spot and I believe they have several other Books & Books locations. The Coral Gables location I think is the original and biggest one? Go check them out.

Certainly one of my favorite independent bookstores in the gables!…read more Nestled within the quaint and charming neighborhood ofCoral Gables, this dainty bookstore has all you need and more. Whether it's a solo trip for a quick purchase or a meeting spot for a quick bite and leisurely stroll, they have everything you need and can cater to any in search of some good books without the secondhand hassle. The open courtyard at the entrance has a bar offering light lobster options and wine. The floor plan has a winding maze-like layout making your browsing experience much more interesting. They also host book signing events with local authors so checking their social media pages is a good way to sneak peak what's in store. They have something for every reader and even plenty of independent and local newspapers. The staff is very helpful and they're quick to help you find whatever material you're searching for. The prices are reasonable and there's plenty of categories to choose from. It's perfect to come here when you want a chill activity without the hustle and bustle. There are deals on the wine bottles during the week so check their calendar. I recommend this place over the conglomerate booksellers because they really support local business owners and their prices are extremely attractive for the range they offer.

I had the Vietnamese iced coffee, and it was really good--smooth, bold, and refreshing. We also tried the short rib sandwich with pho broth and the lemongrass grilled chicken sandwich (which I prefer), and both were packed with flavor. Fresh ingredients, great sauces, and definitely a spot worth checking out.

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!

It's such an unexpected little find,…read moretucked away in a very unassuming, older shopping center where you would never expect to find a place like this. Walking inside feels like discovering a hidden little world of books. I will say, I expected it to be much bigger based on photos I had seen. There's definitely more to see upwards than around, with books stacked and shelved high throughout the space. It's pretty tight inside, so I can imagine it getting a little crowded when there are a lot of people. And then there's the big fluffy resident cat, who pretty much seems to own the place and just adds another layer of charm to the whole experience. Honestly, what more could you want from a whimsical little bookshop? Definitely worth making a little trip to check out. It's quirky, charming, unexpected, and feels like a little hidden treasure.

Where else can I look at $1200 books with provided white gloves, but spend half an hour poring over the $40 offerings? There is a fundamental need for art in this world, and I'm glad they're doing their part. Salespeople largely left me alone, which is fine. They must have sensed I wasn't buying anything, but they didn't know that I couldn't put the book I wanted in my suitcase coming back home. So no nefarious intent detected on their part. Would visit again, then plot to get it mailed to me at home.

Focused on artisanal goods, this bookstore brings the imagination to life throughout its aisles adorned with jams, handmade jewelry, accessories, floral arrangements, art and so much more. Plus, everything is locally-sourced and supports our community. It's a collective artistic vibe that sets this place apart from the rest. Every item sold here comes with a backstory and really brings out the raw talent our community has. There's nothing like it in the area which is why I recommend paying them a visit. It seems like the whole strip of this center has something cool to offer. The business next door is Nerdvana which is the perfect extension of this spot offering rare collectibles of noteworthy comics and figurines for the 80's kid on your shopping list. The best part of Booktanica is the passion behind the project. Visions like these often get dulled out and rarely come to life. It's nice to see such intricate expertise come together to bring this quaint boutique to fruition so effortlessly. I promise every corner has something worth your time. Oh & if you tell Rob that you found out about this place on Yelp, he gives you a high five. True story. Awaken the hipster in you & go nerd out in style :)
