More than a used bookstore, this is a spiritual pick-me-up. I came in to sell some used books and…read morewandered the many rooms while they were being appraised. Soothing jazz was playing, the antique rugs made everything feel welcoming. There are several rooms full of used books in various categories. Everything was labeled and easy to navigate. They also have tables of used records and shelves of movies. This is the kind of analog, community-based place that so needs to exist in today's world. I hope it's always here in Syracuse.

This is a great find. In my search for music - this is a hidden treasure. They have vinyl…read morerecords, and cds. Not looking for anything in particular just want to add to my collection and find something that I once had on a record and now on cd. I found a few items upstairs (main floor) and went downstairs - next time I will bring a flashlight and spend more time there. They also have books there too!

I was able to get a signed hardcover for $10, and paperbacks typically range between 4 and 7 dollars. They also offer "blind date with a book," where you can choose a mystery book based on a very vague synopsis. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful. Highly recommend!

Charming little bookstore with tons of great finds. When we drove past, I legit squealed because,…read morewell, books! Right as you walk in, there's a cozy café tucked to the left with some fun seasonal drinks. Since it was April (now May as I'm writing this), they had a spring menu. I got the Peep Mallow Latte (so good!). I love Peeps, so the moment I saw it on the board, I ditched my lemonade plans without hesitation. The store also had quirky bookmarks, a few signed copies of books (always a cool touch), and a discount section full of hidden gems. We didn't end up buying anything this time but it was still such a lovely place to wander and frolic through.

At the checkout counter they have a bunch of bookmarks and stickers available. The mid-back room is all non-fic, and had two chairs if you're the type who wants to sit with your wares for a moment. They back room is used clothing and antique fabrics, and DOES have a fitting room! There's a room for kids and teens too. I recommend you have good knees going in as there are books in every possible nook, high and low, including under tables. There's a read for every flavor and a recommendation for every reader. The shop owners are very knowledgeable of their stock. Parking- for cars I believe there's a back lot? But it's probably easier to just street park.

This place is sooo cute. How has this been around this long and I just went for the first time? I…read morewas in Marcellus for something else and saw this place and decided to stop in and it is amazing. They have new and used books and it is in a big house so every room is a little different. I got the first four Harry Potter books for my son for like $19 and even though they were used you couldn't tell. I talked a lot to the two women working there who were super nice and helpful and they said if you donate books you get 15% off. This is an amazing place for interesting and different Xmas presents. Give it a try for sure.

She knows the history and fashion origin of them all. They are primarily structured pieces from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, all of excellent quality and construction, a testament to Cjala's eye. If you're interested in some guidance Cjara will direct you to things which might be within your comfort zone but also comfortably out of it if you're willing. There are always inspiring outfits in the window displays, showcasing standout pieces and unexpected and wonderfully layered "basics". I feel the prices are very good here, a reasonable ask for good garments. Aside from clothing there are books and records, all steeped in black history and the intersections it meets. With the music playing, the books on offer, and the clothing at hand it's an immersive experience that we're fortunate to have in Syracuse. Car parking - this shop is in an alley, y'all. Don't block it. Warren St usually has good spots and there's a parking garage right nearby on Washington. There are bike racks around the corner on Fayette St to lock to.

I love everything about this shop and probably place 2-3 orders a year. Delivery is quick. Every order is always full and correct. I like how new products get added every few months.
