    Came in with my husband while waiting for a table at La Rêve. There was an older lady working…read morebehind the counter and said nothing when we walked in. It was dead silent for a period of time before she grumbled about the Christmas books being on sale, then proceeded to loudly crunch on nuts or whatever it was she was eating. Eventually another older lady came in who she seemed to be friends with and they were talking together. My husband told me he heard the lady working tell her friend "I don't trust those guys." I looked up after this and she was glaring me down through the window between the children's room and front desk. Immediately I put down what I was considering buying and left. Never have I felt so unwelcome in a store and am still bothered by the experience hours later. Regardless of this experience, the selection of books is very poor and there are no prices listed. Are we to assume everything is MSRP? Please tell me you aren't charging $30 for the years old hardcovers on display.

    Unique bookstore in the heart of Wauwatosa!!!!…read more They do have a nice selection of books that you may not see at other bookstores Unfortunately the two employees didn't even notice that I walked in right in after the UPS delivery guy and they seemed very interested what was in the package. Just like Christmas I guess. Hours might be different than what is posted on the door depending on the day of the week. So you might want to call a head since social media might not be the 2 employees cup of tea

    Outwords is a G-D Milwaukee institution and the epitome of Milwaukee Pride. Opened in 1993, this…read morelocal bookstore has withstood the test of time, bringing our community together through the importance of LGBTQ literature and history. The owner is very attentive and caring, offering a full service bookstore. Examples include: video rentals (cool, independent flix), gifts, and custom book/item ordering and shipping throughout the US. Outwords also offers a coffee bar, pairing America's love of words and caffeine. Now go read a book!

    Was really excited to see what this place had after finding out it was LGBT friendly--disappointed…read moredoes not seem to fully describe my experience. I walked in pleasantly surprised after initially browsing. Only then did I quickly realize how most books were for white gay men, which is no problem at all I am queer myself, but even most of the authors (of course I did not have time to look at every single one of every book) were white, but it was to a point where I had check a couple shelves and still no luck!!. I took it upon myself to ask the guy working there if he was mostly familiar with the books he had--to which he replied 'yes I'd like to think so' but after asking him whether or not he could point me to authors of color, he said he had no idea. Frustrating as it is being a non binary, queer person of color. Even more frustrating when people act like they don't care. If you're working in a space like this, why the hell wouldnt you have recommendations let alone the courtesy to help the customer find what they are looking for? I didnt even want to stay there any longer after it was clear he was not going to help. I hate to Karen this place but when white cis people occupy space like this without regards for inclusivity, realllllly grinds my gears.
