    Cute coffee shop/book store. I enjoyed browsing after ordering a latte. There is also a kids books section and seating upstairs. Love the set up!

    I come every Sunday morning to read a few chapters with my boyfriend while having the strawberry matcha or chai. The outdoor sitting area is nice when the weather is good & it's cozy if you can get a spot upstairs on one of the two couches. Their book selection is full of architectural & interior design, art history, cooking and a variety of children's books. They also have other small things to purchase that goes with the seasons or current holiday. The shop is very basic menu wise for coffee and food. However, I still find it nice and not as overstimulating like other coffee spaces.

    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.

    great place to find unfamiliar and to you unknown translations of international books.read more

    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.

    Kinokuniya is a great, authentic spot for those who love all things Japanese. From manga, anime,…read moreanime goodies, anime soundtracks, art books, CDs, novels, gundams, language books, and even cute stationary. If you like to collect manga and want to see a huge variety of selections, this is the place. I really like that they also have a selection of manga in Japanese! The art book aisle is awesome. It's hard to find art books in other bookstores, and even places like Barnes and Noble won't have a selection as varied as Kinokuniya. Despite the endless aisles of manga, I've surprisingly noticed that they're missing a few decently known manga. Unless I keep missing it, I've never seen The Case Study of Vanitas in their aisle, but they have the author's other work, Pandora Hearts, in there, for example. I would also say Kinokuniya is limited with their selection of anime goodies. I like that they're all very much authentic and different from your typical anime store selling pop figures and easy to find Bandai/Banpresto stuff, but their blind box selections are also becoming easy to find in other places because it's all the mainstream shows. Overall, if you're looking to expand your collection, this is the place to go.

    I love this store, so many cute trinkets! I made the mistake of visiting the NYC location first…read morewhich is humongous, this one is a quarter of the one I'd been to previously. Pricing of everything is super marked up, stationary can range upwards of $20 for certain notebooks!
