Magical
Kim D.

I have walked by this bookshop multiple times but it had already been closed for the evening. I longingly stared inside and made it a goal to find my way in at some point when I was back in the area . I finally got an opportunity to check it out during business hours and fell in love immediately. The space was colorful and welcoming and the employees were all super friendly and eager to help. Great for perusing, and great for gifts. When I found the children's section in the back with the Arthur and miss frizzle mural my inner child did a little dance. I would have loved to have this space as a kid. Supposedly ruby the doggo also makes an appearance in the shop throughout the week and I'm looking forward to meeting her! Got a really good book haul and itching to return already.

I was walking around Sutter Street and stumbled upon this bookstore. When I heard they give out teacher discounts (15%) I knew this was the bookstore. I found some books for my classroom at a reasonable price. The customer service is great as well, will be back at this bookstore when I'm in the area. Would highly recommend!

The book I recently purchased was signed by a local author from Lake Tahoe

I have been in Ruby's bookstore about five times and I always find a fantastic selection of books, especially on my favorite topics: travel and nature. The bookstore is beautiful in how it presents the books, some of which have been signed by the authors. I like how there is also cool art for sale in addition to small, fun items like bookmarks,magnets, and stickers. I encourage you to shop local and to buy a book here instead of online. It makes the book even more special to recall the shop where you bought it from. There is an adorable dog at Ruby's who I love to visit with whenever I am there. I am a new customer but sure to be a loyal one! One last point, customer service is excellent and you can even order on their website and pick up later. I just did that.

Super cute bookstore in the heart of Downtown Folsom! We were in the area and decided to park and take a walk around the different shops. My husband told me to look for a bookstore and sure enough - Ruby's popped up! They had a great selection of books and their Children's section was very adorable - I had to practically drag my daughter out of the store! It seemed like the books cost whatever was listed as the original price on the back of the book - so nothing was really marked down. We did walk away with 3 different books for my daughter though! Staff were very friendly and quick to assist! I love supporting small businesses especially bookstores! Check them out!

Had to stop in for independent bookstore day!

Ruby's Books is by far my favorite in the Sac area! The selection of books, amazing staff recommendations and overall experience is something that always leaves me smiling. Can't wait to try one of their upcoming book clubs too!

We love Ruby's! It's on Sutter Street in the heart of old Historic Folsom. The store is lovely, light and bright and cheerful. The employees are always very friendly and they always have great book recommendations too. I love shopping here and supporting Indie bookstores. They have a great gift selection and awesome stickers, tote bags, bookmarks, etc for the book lovers.

One of my favorite gems in all of Folsom! Ruby's books is a book lover's haven. There are SO many books on various topics and genres; all very organized. The staff here is always super friendly and helpful (not to mention, Ruby loves everyone who walks through the door)! My husband always Christmas shops for me here. He tells the staff what I have been enjoying, and they love to give recommendations. I've loved everything they have recommended to him. Such a great store! Has a wonderful children's selection, too.

Ruby's Books has been on my bookmark list for a very long time and I was happy I was able to make it here during Winter Break. This bookstore deserves a 5/5 because of how organized it is, how nice the employees are and the selection they have. When you walk in, you are instantly welcomed with recommendations, seasons picks and merchandise you just have to have. I was drawn to the pins and coasters immediately. I then went to the books. The employees are extremely nice. They circulated the store and checked in with the customers often. At checkout, they made sure to get to know their customers by asking questions based on what the customers bought. For instance, I got Fourth Wing merch and the kind lady informed me about their upcoming release day. From travel to romantasy, this store has something for everyone. I walked out with a book bag, book marks and pins. I cannot wait to check out this bookstore again. Please consider Ruby's when you are wanting to go to a book shop.

Friendly and helpful staff. It's a nice cozy spot to shop local and find all your reading needs. I was looking for a particular book and it was cheaper on amazon but I really felt it was worth the purchase!! I would come back again for more books and gifts. We free sticker when you spinners the ruby wheel! Overall, great place!

See all

I booked a package of 4 tickets for this years 2026 Galentines event, with that I also purchased 4…read moretickets for the Flower Bar so we could create bouquets and take them home with us, when purchasing I used the promotion code for 10% off that was advertised with the event, everything went through fine and I received my receipt and was excited for the event. After my purchase of the 4 flower bar tickets I soon received a phone call from the Flower Farm gift shop, the lady told me that the promotion code was not valid and she was going to refund my purchase and I would have to re purchase without the promotion code. I explained to her that I felt that was not right since it was their mistake, they needed to update their website and not allow promotion codes for the flower bar if that was the case. As a company they should have honored my purchase and fixed their mistake rather than refunding and making me re purchase again without the promo code. The lady on the phone took no accountability and was very snappy with me, it just left me feeling upset when I got off the phone with her. Sad thing is I am still really excited for this event, it is just a bummer that this experience now created bad energy for me going into the experience. I recommend the Flower Farm Gift Shop examine their customer service policies and handle situations like mine better in the future.

The shop offers local artisan crafted products that range from candles, to plants, signs/outdoor décor and much more. While the gift shop is a little small they have a wide array of items that are focused around helping people create a special gift. Many of their items are seasonal so things are always changing. They also offer events from time to time and have done candle making, blanket making and wood sign making in the past. I recommend checking out their website to see what events are coming up. These sound like so much fun and I want to join for an event sometime in the future!
