The drink bar was a pleasant surprise and I had a very yummy Iced Roebling Fog (like a London Fog but with a little sass). Love the physical space and the cafe space in the back with tables was an added bonus. Though small, the inventory was thoughtful and I found far too many things to choose from. The staff selections were on point and I found a few new items to add to my "to read" list. Absolutely worth a visit and I look forward to checking out the other location next time I am in town.

The selection is great. And the organization is honestly amazing for a used bookstore. I love pretty close, so this is a dangerous discovery. Can't get over the prices! My only qualms with the store come from the service; the woman checking us out was wildly unfriendly.

They had a nice collection of books ranging from romance, fiction, fantasy etc. on social media you can see when they are doing DnD nights, movie nights, and more. The owner and staff working were very accommodating and pleasant. The atmosphere is adventurous and cozy. Overall, just a great experience and look forward to coming out on a movie night. The owner shared that they do like to show local productions. Can't wait and highly recommend folks to go out and support!

Will return!

The woman at the counter greeted me as soon as I entered the door and invited me to review my choices. I ordered a Smoothie, and love it's simplicity -- you order 1 milk -- (I went with almond milk), 1 juice (I tried pomegranate), and 2 fruits (bananas and mangoes please). She let me know that the books were for sale, and that there were plenty more in the back room, and a patio in the back. The smoothie was healthy and unpretentious - just the ingredients, no sugar -- just the way I like it. I'll definitely be back to check the rest of their menu.

There are marvelous politics/history/activism books, very strong fiction, a small but remarkably up-to-date and excellent poetry selection, and sweet and unusual kids' books for my nieces and nephews. There's a lovely set of Cincinnati-focused books -- trails, walks, history. If you've got a woodworker in your family they will love the beautiful traditional woodworking books from KY press Lost Art Books. Downbound runs sales in support of good causes (get on their mailing list). It's a great addition to this city. If you don't live in Northside, come on a Saturday and eat breakfast at Blue Jay or brunch at Littlefield, check out the records at Shake It, browse the vintage clothes at High Bred and Casablanca, and pick out a book or three at Downbound; you'll have a good time!

I'll be putting this local shop in rotation and hope others will do the same to keep it open.
