I love to support locally owned bookstores! So naturally I really enjoyed coming here…read more We're always greeted when we walk in and asked if there's anything we can be helped with. I've been here twice and have found some decent books at a good price. Check them out if you're in the area.

This was a cute bookstore to visit above the Unfiltered coffee shop. There is a mixture of new and…read moreused books to peruse. They also have some art and jewelry for sale from local artists. The staff was really nice. We purchased some cute book related art that could easily be framed; they will be nice decoration for a home library or classroom. Since they were done by a local artist, I think the price was excellent for the quality of the product. It is on the smaller side, so it did get a little crowded.

I especially enjoyed their Florida section, the old photos of Sarasota sights, and the interesting finds at this treasure trove of a bookstore.

The moment we walked into this store we began seeing obnoxious anti-Trump posters all over. We are…read morestaunch conservatives and have voted for Donald Trump 3 times. This idiot is alienating half his customers from the moment they walk in. I was in medical practice for 39 years, and I never talked politics with my patients unless THEY brought it up, and then I would either agree or disagree with them, depending on their views. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot! Oh, and of the 6 or 7 books I was looking for, he had only one and it was a first edition for which he wanted $55. I just bought the paperback version from Amazon for $8.99. Won't go back in there--and he doesn't want us either. Unless you're a democrat or a socialist, don't bother.

Loved this cute cute place…read more While I love an old, dusty used bookstore--- this place is NOT that. It's spotless and bright! My only {minor} {complaint?} issue is that the chairs aren't super comfortable for sitting and eating and reading...... The people working here took my book list and did the [personal shopper] thing for me and went and found things for me. Absolutely lovely! The coffee was amazing and they started a tab for me so I could hang out and even brought me the coffee. These small touches were so so welcome and appreciated!!!!! Great place with a positive vibe and important social mission!!!! Loved it-!!!!

I've been stopping here to donate items for the last several years, it's nice to donate things you no longer need. The items can find a new useful life and you get tax receipts.

Once a book has served its owner well, it may be time for that book to find a new home with someone who will read it, love it, and perhaps pass it along to another reader to enjoy.

The bookologists were very kind, helpful and didn't hover over you. They have an amazingly huge…read morecollection of books and this is 100% the cleanest, most organized book store I've ever seen.

I'm always impressed by this space. Under new ownership, this continues to be the biggest selection…read moreof used books in the area. I appreciate that the young adult/teen section has been moved and expanded from where it previously was, and frankly seems to flow better into the adult fiction area. The beach/margaritaville theming isn't my cup of tea, but IS an easy visual way to see what genre of books is where. The associates at the counter were friendly and helpful in finding a book I was looking for in particular, but not overly pushy about following me all over the store while casually browsing. I have store credit for bringing some used books in previously, and I was glad to see that had rolled over with the new ownership.

I'm not much of a reader but once…read moreI get going I'll burn through everything an author wrote pretty quickly and I ended up with a ton of books to trade, that's where brants came in. I stopped by and she welcomed my hoard of books, some she wanted, some she didn't need, but she informed me that she regularly mails books over seas to the troops! So my hoard of books netted me 7 or do new reads but happily for me the ones not needed will go to a good cause! Now, like I said, I'm not much of a reader so choosing a new author could take me a while, and the immense piles of books everywhere were kinda intimidating but she knew where every author was, she even got me started with an author I've never heard of. However, based upon my collection she definitely got me going in the right direction. She's a really lovely lady and a nice person to talk with if you've got the time, I highly suggest stopping by for a read!

We wish we had tried this place first instead of the other milk tea spots in Port Charlotte! The…read moredrinks were delicious. The brown sugar milk tea was perfectly balanced, and my husband said the winter melon tea was just as good. There was only one person working, didn't spoke much to us at all or make any suggestions on what was good he would have recommended on the menu either. The only downside is that they close pretty early, and there isn't much else to do in the plaza. It's more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to sit and hang out, but they do have a nice waiting area, and I loved the milk tea artwork on the wall. We'll definitely be back!
