    Walked over from a nearby car shop to grab breakfast and get some work done. The menu is pretty simple and I went with a ham, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel and an orange juice. The staff was very friendly and my sandwich was ready within 5 minutes. The sandwich was pretty good and the bagel seemed fresh, although somewhat small. The dining area is definitely dated and I couldn't find a table near an outlet, which was a bummer. The tables were all clean though and they quickly cleared my dirty dishes to allow me to work with more room. Overall, great bookstore with a nice cafe. Definitely hasn't been updated in a long time but it's not a huge deal. Friendly staff around every corner!

    I wasn't sure what to expect when I first entered Schuler Books. People recommended me to visit this bookstore for a while, so I finally made a visit. At first glance, it reminded me of Barnes and Noble. However, once I made my way around the store, I realized it was SO much more than just that! When you enter, there is a cute cafe on your right. There are so many tables, and I saw some people drinking coffee and eating pastries casually. The tables were nicely spaced apart, and it seemed like a great place to just meet up with friends. On the left of the cafe, there is the children's section, which was personally my favorite section. So many cute toys and books! Kids would love to hang out here (though they wont be able to touch some of the other higher end stuffed animals), as they have so many different types of fun, entertaining, and/or educational types of books. I did notice most of the toys did seem to be high quality, thus being higher priced. There is a bathroom in the children section that is clean. Close to the children's section are some little cool gadgets, ranging from fun toothbrush holders, stress balls, different scented soaps, quirky table accessories, etc. They also had a mini Harry Potter table with books and spin offs from the original novels (like Harry Potter recipes), which was cool. Also another mini shelf with books on dragons, with stuffed dragons placed there too). At the back are plenty of tables where you can read or sit down. There is a mini room behind where they have meetings or talks. Apart from the usual non-fiction, fiction, teen, self help, etc sections you'd expect from a bookstore, they have a plethora of games - card games, puzzles, etc. Worth to check it out! And the music section is a small section, but they have vinyl records of old tunes to popular albums today (I even saw one with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift), and CDs.

    I have many fond memories of going to Schuler Books & Music in Lansing while in college to eat lunch in the cafe and read as many magazines as I could in one sitting. Unfortunately now they have signs everywhere saying you can only bring items you've purchased into the cafe, but I still enjoy checking out this location every once in awhile. I usually do most of my book shopping/ordering at Books and Mortar since it's a lot closer to my house, but Schuler is on another level as it's pretty huge and they have a ton of awesome gift items that are fun to browse. Games, puzzles, calendars, vinyl, used books, candles, kitchen items, toys, stickers, the list goes on! I'm sure you could find a gift for everyone on your list at Schuler. They're an independently owned, local bookstore, so definitely wonderful to support. The employees at Schuler are always polite and willing to help you find something or special order any books you might need. I've called them several times looking for specific gifts and they always are happy to go check and see if they have what I'm looking for before I make the drive down to 28th Street. There is plenty of parking in their private lot. Like any good bookstore, they host author readings, story times, and special holiday events each year. They also buy used books but check out the website as the guidelines are pretty specific.

This bookstore has lots of new releases, lgbtq books, books about social justice issues, as well as a young readers section. They have three different book clubs that they host- new best sellers, sapphic book clubs, and birding book club! So cool!

    [Out of Towner Review]…read more If a bookstore felt like a HUG, this would be it! I loved visiting this special independent bookstore in Grand Rapids. I love when you walk in you are greeted with the 100 Banned Books to peruse through. I love a business that highlights banned books, as all booksellers should be doing this year. Although I felt like the selection was limited, I wasn't upset with this store. It just took me a little longer to find a book to purchase. I loved all the knickknacks (stickers, bags, etc) they had to shop from. The kind bookseller was helpful when I asked for help. She was completely open to offering suggestions, but I felt capable of finding something else. She was extremely kind and engaging with the few patrons that were in the store. Since I this was my first time here, I was taking it all in. The kid section was really cute and the layout is easy to shop. I enjoyed the staff picks and layouts of the different sections. They are on the smaller side, so I wouldn't expect to show up and find every single top book on the market. But there are PLENTY that I found enjoyable and enough to purchase two books! Small town charm, but make it books!

The first thing I noticed upon walking into the store was the shop dog, Tommy! He is a gentle giant, a big fluffy golden retriever who was happy to receive some pets from me and my friend's five year old. Inside the store, there is a cute kids area with fun paintings on the walls, stuffed animals, and small chairs for kids to sit while they check out some books. I was more interested in looking at new releases, but this bookstore seemed laid out a bit differently and instead of having all new releases on display in the front, they had some children's books and other picks in the main display near the entrance. I found the cookbook section right away and was really happy with the selection there. They had a bunch of different cookbooks I'd never seen before, which was fun to browse. The store has other gifts and games and fun houseware items, including several locally made things which I thought was great. The owner working was helpful to my friend who was looking for a Beatrix Potter book. They didn't have it in stock but I'm sure they could order it. They have a rewards program which is great if you buy a lot of books! The other nice part about Epilogue Books is their little reading area with beverages and coffee. I don't live nearby but if I did, this would definitely be my go-to bookstore.
