    Chai latte
    Elaine M.

    Cutest bookshop ever. A nice addition to lower Greenville for sure! I got an iced chai with oatmilk and it was so refreshing since it was pretty hot out. We came in the afternoon so all the pastries were sold out. Great selection of books! Only issue is not much seating. We parked ourselves in the window sill as my daughter needed to work on her homework. Look forward to how this bookshop will develop!

    Looking at the reviews, I think I went to a different place. All these 4 and 5 star reviews, and I honestly don't see it. Only one review mirrored what I felt when going in. First things first, it is a very cute place. Aesthetically pleasing, well organized/clean, and friendly staff. But that's about all it has going for it. The drinks we got were mediocre at best. There's a huge display for what I'm assuming should be holding some kind of food/pastries but it sat empty on a Saturday afternoon. For a store called the READ shop, there's actually no place to sit and READ. The two windows on the first floor have a ledge that you can sit on, and upstairs there a couch for 2, and another little sitting area, again for 2. They have a handful of high-top bars that you can put your drink on and flip through a book but that about it. They have a decent kids book area upstairs but no place for said kids to actually sit/interact. Majority of the other books are coffee table books, or some sort of picture book. The way that it's advertised on social media makes it seem like something it's not. This is no book lover's friend, this is not hangout friendly, it's fairly useless unless you want to pop in for a drink and look at picture books while standing. If you want some place to catch up with a friend, so even to simply sit and read while drinking your coffee, you're better off at a Starbucks or local coffee house. All the social medial posts and high rated reviews are deceiving, in my opinion.

    First timer: Probably the cutest coffee shop I've been to in DFW area. It has quite a bit of merchandise (candles, books, stickers, etc.) however it wasn't overwhelming seeing as it was extremely neat, organized, and allowed plenty of room to still move around. Staff is all friendly (there were only two present when I entered). Upstairs displayed art and more decor. The iced latte I ordered was good and strong. There are dairy alternatives however they weren't displayed on the menu, and they were sold out of a few things when I popped in. All in all. Great vibe.

    Strawberry matcha

    This place is so cute! I wish there are more seating though, I think they could definitely add more especially with the space they have, but each time I go there is an improvement! I love the drinks they have especially their seasonal menus! Last summer they had a strawberry matcha to die for! I love how it taste like strawberry shortcake and you can still taste the matcha as well. I'm happy that they brought it back this summer and I cannot wait for their fall/winter menu to be back again because that cinnamon roll oat latte and peach cobbler chai latte were heavenly. I am also a fan of their cold brews! The staff are so nice and extremely welcoming! I am a regular here and the barista that always works on Monday and Tuesday mornings always remember my drink order and usually has it ready for me! I keep forgetting to ask for their name, but if you see a girl with tattoos she's my favorite barista I frequently see. I wish their outdoor/patio area has more comfortable seating and better tables and a awning or cover for those hot sunny days especially in Texas weather! This place would be a hit, I know a lot of the neighborhood people agree! So if you're the owner and are reading these reviews, please consider! But other than that this place is my favorite spot in the neighborhood! Sad to see other people not giving it a try, but hopefully the City of Dallas will lift up their restrictions because this place is truly a hidden gem!

    Cute space. Super clean. Coffee was great (stumptown). Brewed me a fresh drip coffee. Weird music choices. No seating. So you really can't "read" a book in the shop. You can only purchase the books. But you can't stay here to read them. Sort of wild. Coffee was 5/5. Review based only on the coffee.

    The cutest little book shop with great tasting coffee. The barista was super nice and helpful. I had the Iced Cinnamon roll oat latte for $6.50.

    My coffee was really good, and this shop has some really cute items for sale! There's some seating downstairs, upstairs is all standing table benches

    What an awesome book and coffee shop! Amazing curation of fascinating books and creative gifts. Coffee was outstanding - the best pumpkin spice latte in Dallas.

    Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Great shop!! So many unique books, I loved the matcha here. Such a fun concept. Only critique I wish there were more chairs rather than bar tops.

    Deep Vellum Books is a gem. Let me tell you why…read more Deep Vellum Books is the storefront and headquarters of Deep Vellum Books & Publishing, a nonprofit literary arts organization and the largest publisher of literature in translation in the US (I did not know that!!!!). They stock their own titles as well as a curated selection of literary fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. I visited with my family (dad, stepmom, adult siblings, husband) last weekend, and we spent way more time in the store than we expected to given the store's size. It's not large, but the store is packed with interesting and unusual and harder to find titles. I started to read a book's dusk jacket flap blurb, which led to a conversation about the book with the staff in the shop. (I bought it, I already read it, I loved it.) It's that kind of store - I was walking around, reading blurbs out loud to my family - finding book after book that piqued my interest. I left with a book, my siblings with two or three each, and my dad with at least one. There were six of us, and we bought maybe 8 books. The staff working the day we were visited were incredible, chatting with us about books, telling us about Deep Vellum, and answering our questions about their events. It's clear that people who work at Deep Vellum love books and that always makes shopping at a bookstore more wonderful. (I'm not sure I would have taken home the book I did if I hadn't chatted with a store employee for a few minutes about it - it's a little out of my wheelhouse - but I loved and I'm so glad I picked it up). The store hosts book clubs which sound amazing. I mean how many bookstores offer a "Homer Out Loud" book club that meets to read Homer's epics out loud once a week!? Or has a book club called "Underdogs in Space" that meets once a month to talk about underread sci-fi books?! If you're in Deep Ellum and you love to read anything at all - make your way over to Deep Vellum. It's a great organization and a great bookstore. I couldn't love it more.

    Came here for the first last last week 15 minutes before closing (I know!!) but they were so kind…read moreand helpful. The ppl who worked there are incredibly knowledgeable and can offer wonderful suggestions if you tell them the genres/writers you like, no matter how niche! They had a lovely array of diverse books--they featured books, authors, languages, genres, and themes from all backgrounds. There were lots of translated books and books they published there. There's also a book club they host if you're interested in joining--they read underrated sci-fi works and discuss them on site. 12/10 would come back again :)

There's a large corner with chairs up by the big glass windows that is very cozy. There are fans. Yeah. I love fans. I don't know if they have a book club but there is room for that! I didn't get a chance to really explore the store as I was on the hunt for children's books. I have to say that there was a very kind manager there to help, but children's books seemed to be everywhere in this midstore nook area that had children's books on shelves and in boxes on the floor. I didn't have the ability to get down low and check them all out. 75% of the books I looked at had some kind of minor boo boo. But I was realistic. If this was my child, I wouldn't care about that. They were clean. There were so many varieties. However, I was buying a gift and didn't know how the mother would feel. Really, most were in excellent shape considering we are talking kids here and I WAS looking for a two year old. In the end I found three highly regarded used books for $18 total. One had a spot of coffee or hot chocolate? Yum. lol Anyway, I found out they buy back books here. I can't really say that I absolutely understand the process, but I do know that STORE CREDIT is a big part of the plan. What a deal to keep recirculating books for reading. For those looking to make money on their books, they do offer cash for more current titles based on original sales price. They take into consideration condition and inflation. Just ask. Lucky Dog Books is a very intimate browsing experience. It's comfortable. They have DVDs, VHS tapes, Music - CD's, sets. And books. Check it out.

    I have been shopping at Half Price Books for most of my book-buying life. I remember shopping here…read moreall through high school, and I've continued to shop here when I return to Dallas (my hometown) for visits. To sum up my review, Half Price Books ruined me for all other used bookstores. Since leaving Dallas, I've lived in 6 other cities. While some had some pretty decent used bookstores (others not so much), none even come close to HPB. It was one of the many things I took for granted growing up in Texas/Dallas. I thought all cities had stores as large and well-stocked as HPB until I left. Most cities (even large ones) just don't. I've been shopping at HPB since the early 2000s (maybe the 1990s, too), but it's been open since 1972, and this Northwest Highway location is the original - its flagship store. It's huge. In a world with fewer and fewer bookstores (thanks, Amazon), bookstores have also gotten tinier and tinier (some are about the size of postage stamps now, but I'm still happy to visit and support them!). Not HPB. This location is 54,000 square feet. 54,000 square feet!!! There's a coffeeshop (La Casita Coffee at HPB), a large community space (where they host signings and author events, live music, and a monthly game night), and tons of places to sit, read, study, etc. (I should point out that not all Half Price Books locations are THIS large. Most - and I've shopped at a lot of other locations across Texas - are still pretty large stores, but this flagship location is massive. Founded in Dallas, many - 37 - of their 100+ stores are in Texas.) The store is also incredibly well stocked, housing more than half million books and then tons of movies, vinyl, CDs, games, and other items. When I say well-stocked, they have more books than this bibliophile can even process, including tons of mass market paperbacks, rare books, art/photograph books, and more. If you're looking for a classic, they'll have 40 copies (I was looking for an anthology of plays by Eugene O'Neill with a certain play included when I visited this past Saturday, had had about 10 options - and that's for a play not included in the larger anthologies). If you're looking for something rarer, they still might have it. But it's also a great place to browse - to come not knowing what you want. On my most recent visit this past weekend, I left with 3 or 4 books - two I wasn't really looking for and 1 I was. I also grabbed a coffee with my family in the cafe. If you have books you need to sell, this is the place. There's an area in the back where they'll take your books and then you can shop while they review. Then they'll call you up over the speaker in the bookstore when they have an offer for you. Don't expect a lot of money per book, but it's a great way to pass along a book you're done with to get something new to read. I can't say enough about this location of Half Price Books. I've loved it for more than half my life, and it's still the used bookstore I measure all others against. If you love a bookstore, you simply have to shop at this flagship store.

    I absolutely love this location and could spend hours on end roaming the aisles with my TBR list…read more Whether you're searching for a new title off the NYT's Bestseller List or one from five years ago, it's more than likely here. Music, games, DVDs and rare titles/collectible items have huge sections, as well. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly; especially those in the Buy Back area! There is plenty of quiet space tucked away for workday tasks or a quick Zoom meeting and you can even bring your puppy (on a leash, of course). There's an attached coffee shop for sustenance and nice, clean bathrooms, too.
