Unlike other clothing stores where the experience of shopping feels like eating potato chips, this feels like a home-cooked meal full of love and real nutrients. You are part of a community sharing connection and memories through the vehicle of children's clothes. Truly what a shop should be.

As the only bookstore in this part of town, it is a great source of other books--they have a well-curated selection of new and notable literature, small inspirational or novelty books, an impressive selection of children's books, cookbooks, craft kits, magazines, cards, calendars, puzzles, glass ornaments, funny socks, and other shoppy shop things. If you have a gift to get or are looking for something to read on your next flight, you would be in good hands at Builders. It's compact but full of gems. No need to be intimidated.

Spent about 30 minutes browsing and ended up buying a book. Service seemed nice and helpful when I went. I overheard them talking about how they had to downsize back in the day due to more sales going through Amazon now. Makes sense - I think because it's a local bookstore, they do charge a bit more. If you compare some book prices in the store to online, they do cost a bit more in store - but I felt supporting local biz was worth!

Some of them get sold to bigger brands such as Restoration Hardware so the designs are quite familiar. You can buy those items here that were rejected by such big brands for really minute flaws that I hardly ever noticed. The finish is great in the products.

They also host team building activities or private sessions for folks interested in learning the art.
