What an adorable romance bookstore. It's right across the street from East End market and my coworker and I walked over to check it out after learning about them from the Yelp event the night before. It's so girly and I love all the pink and the purple and of course, I love a great Taylor Swift reference which they had everywhere in store and in their name. They have a large selection of romance books and different stickers, bags, and just so many cute little trinkets for book lovers. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance novel. read more

I adoreeee this bookstore!! This woman-owned, Latina-owned bookstore is really so much more than a store -- they are constantly putting on a ton of amazing (free or reasonably priced) bookish events and the environment in the store is so welcoming and cozy. They have a massive selection that represents so many and take pride in diversity. Even if you don't think you're a romance reader, you'd be surprised at how much there is to offer -- from every sort of romance genre you can imagine (which is how I learned I actually am a romance reader!), to bookish crafts and audiobook walking clubs, to the cutest trinkets, shirts, and stickers sourced from other small businesses. This is one to support; they are critical to the Orlando bookish scene and we want them around for a long time! read more

Such a cute book store and something well needed in our community! We truly need more unique stores like this that cater to book lovers and specific genres. I love seeing the uptick in people reading and places like this really make a difference. Employees are very kind and I love the knick knacks they sell there too. I found some cute candles that made me giggle. I can't wait to attend some events here in the future! read more

The cutest female owned Taylor Swift themed romance book store. Whenever I am in a different city, I like to visit independent book stores and buy books as "souvenirs" of my travels. I love this neighborhood within the Orlando area. The shop is in a small strip mall with parking in front. The decor is adorable and several spots for cute photo moments. They offer a variety of romance genres and all the merch is so great. Stickers, bookmarks, apparel, candles, art and so much more! The prices are in line with what I would expect and I like to support independents. I bought a book and several stickers. The gal working was helpful and kind. Now go visit them! read more

vibes LOVE all the Taylor swift references here. I understand it's a niche romance-focused bookstore, but I do wish they had a little more variety. I love their bulletin board of events by the front door - would love to come to one someday! read more

This is an adorable bookstore just a few minutes walk from East End Market! I learned about New Romantics during a Yelp event at the Orlando Science Center, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The interior is cute and photogenic, with lots of fun, girly details throughout. This is a romance bookstore, with a wide variety of offerings in sub-genres like "romantasy," young adult, dark romance, and more! I didn't purchase a book on this visit, but I did pick out a pretty new bookmark, a Snoopy keychain, and some bookish stickers. If I lived in the area, I could definitely see myself spending a lot of time here, and stocking up on plenty of books. I also noted the expansive event offerings with visiting authors! I highly recommend a visit to New Romantics for locals and tourists alike. read more

We stopped by because we were at a nearby restaurant. It was my first time in the store but I had heard about all the hype. It's such a cute store. I was worried it was going to be all cute romances, but they have a wide selection of romance. The saleswoman was so knowledgeable, and they had adorable trickers and journals. I got a cute claw clip, a planner, and a romance. I can't wait to visit again. read more

In love with this bookstore! This locally owned and romance themed bookstore is amazing! The aesthetic is apparent even from the outside. The staff is super friendly and willing to help.

A romance themed bookstore! I don't need to say more but I will! I loved this cozy and cute store. It was welcoming and very well organized. They have their shelves organized easily into genres. They also have lots of little gifts for any book lover. In fact, they carry hair bows from one of my favorite brands!! Last plus for this store is that it's mildly Taylor Swift themed. read more

Whether you're just starting to explore romance novels or have been doing so for decades, this special place has exactly what you need. I've been reading romance long before I should have (thanks to my mother's not-so-well-hidden collection), so I was thrilled when The New Romantics opened in Orlando and have frequented it ever since. Everyone who works there is a delight, and I'm incredibly proud to see how much Jane, the owner, has done to get this store up and running and to build the community it has. They offer a wonderful selection of books, with plenty of sub-genres to choose from, and tons of bookish goodies you don't need but will end up buying anyway. If you love visiting romance-only bookstores, this one definitely deserves a spot on your list. read more

After a book convention a friend and I stopped in here before dinner. She has been following them since before they opened on Instagram. She told me about them which had me following them instantly. Apparently not good enough, though, because I missed when Kayla Grosse was there over the summer. Still kicking myself about that missed opportunity. I digress... It is a cute shop. I do wish there was a little more space to look at the books. On a Saturday evening with 15 or so people in there, we were squeezing each other. 15.10.2025 read more

It was my first time going!! I had heard about this place and I finally got the chance to go. Everything is so neatly organized, and some areas have a synopsis of the books which I really appreciated. They had cute little trinkets for kindles, stickers and bookmarks. I really loved this store and would love to go back. I didn't get a book this time but I did get some cute little stickers. The cashier was extremely nice, and asked everyone in the shop if they needed help. The value of the items seemed fair, from the stickers, trinkets to the books. The stickers came out to $4 each, which wasn't bad. Please shop local!! read more

Very cute romantasy book shop. I love the aesthetic. I've stopped in a few times while I was in the Baldwin Park area, but I have not yet made any purchases. For now, I will rate 4 stars as I have not really had any major interactions with employees to be able to judge their customer service. But, I did enjoy all of the cute book related extras that they had for sale such as bookmarks, stickers, etc. read more

Lovely mother/daughter date to The New Romantics Bookstore. It's a cute store with a nice selection of books that span many different & inclusive genres. Romantasy, BIPOC authors, LGBTQ+, strong female leads, YA's, dark fantasy, & a small section of popular books translated into Spanish. There are journals for day & night reflection. There are a plethora of pretty bookmarks, trinkets, lots of stickers, cups, pens, kindle covers, framed prints and candles. The staff is helpful and went above & beyond. They thought the book I was buying had an available signed author copy, they found it & my day was made. They have the cutest stamp & embossed, that you can stamp or emboss your book with a TBR from The New Romantics. Such a nice touch! It's is a delightful place to spend some time, pick up a few books and book accessories! The prices are what you would expect from any bookstore that is not amz. All the things they do are evident that they are true book lovers and love book people! read more

This was so cute! Romance books for everybody which is nice and books have some spice but it ranges from some spice to very spicy so. We loved the merch and they were friendly to us. I got some birthday gifts here. I did like the ladies that ran the store and they were kind to us! They offer local authors and they do a lot of meet and greets which is cool. I would recommend if you like spicy books! read more

The cutest bookstore! I've been wanting to visit this bookstore since it first opened. It is located across the street from east end market, in the same plaza as Kelly's Ice Cream aka the perfect little funday of treats and books! When you walk in, the vibe is instantly happy. The books are sorted by genre with some merch and new releases up front. There is also a local authors section which I thought was great. Books are the value you'd expect. There is a little sitting area in the front and a selfie wall in the back. I bought two books and the reason I bought one of them was because the attendant at the register absolutely raved about it with (and I quote) "it wrecked me in the best way possible" to which I said "where is that book???" It is infectious in the best way when you see people as passionate about books as we are walking in. Makes for a very authentic experience. All in all, I cant wait to go back and check out some of their merch and romantasy collection additions. read more

This place is bad news for my bank account. Absolutely brilliant business idea! Local woman-owned and totally, fearlessly catered to romance readers. Lots of little bookish accessories sprinkled throughout like candles devoted to your favorite book boyfriend, themed hair clips, shopping bags, book magnets, pop sockets with bookish sayings, book annotation kits, I could go on! Each shelf is marked by theme, which made finding what I was looking for super easy and helped me introduce myself to nuanced genres within the romance umbrella. Definitely a 5 star experience, and an adorable addition to the Orlando small business landscape! I can't wait to bring my friends here when they come in town. read more

As a book lover, like I mean has too many books and put themselves in a book ban book lover, this was like walking into the land of my people. While I'm not a romance reader (always enjoy a good romance but a good variety of genres keeps me happy), this place has my heart. I visited with my friend (shoutout to Julie!). I've had this place on my radar since they had less than 100 followers on Instagram and it's been crazy to see that they finally opened. They are exactly as they advertise. A romance book store. There is nothing else besides romance books, cute stickers and merch. While I had to commend them for their wide selection of books, I have to mention if you are not a romance fan. The book selection will bore you. The merch is cute and quite tempting but since I was trying to restraint myself from buying the entire store (I can't buy just one book, I buy 5-7 at a time), I didn't indulge in the slightly pricey merch. The books are average in their pricing. It's no different than Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble or even Target when it comes to the price. I can't really say anything about the service as the cashier kept to herself (she was NOT rude at all, just minimal interaction, no biggie). The store is very beautiful and they were constantly busy with both book deliveries during my twenty to thirty minutes there and filled with people. I love how they have book an indoor seating area and outdoor one. Definitely a place to add to your insta stories or show off to friends. Their only major con is parking. I went there on a Thursday (this place is PACKED in the store and parking). And finding parking was NOT possible. I need you guys to really plan how you are going to park here because Thursday's is when Chiffon Culture is closed which means I wasn't fighting to find parking in the tiny parking lot with goers of the popular cafe. I struggled to find parking (there was NONE, I parked my car in an awkward spot and was praying no one hit it while I was in the shop). I can't imagine how bad it is on the weekend or any other day of the week. Also as someone who lives rather far from this park (this was a hour drive with traffic), I would definitely come back with a friend and make a day out of this which is what I did today. It's worth seeing once as it is the first romance bookstore in Orlando. It's pretty in there and you are surrounded by book lovers (paradise for me). So if you are a book lover like me and want to be surrounded by cute book related things, then you need to head over here at least once and make a day out of this especially since you are near East End, Mills and so much more. Definitely need to go back ASAP. read more

Not only do they have shelves packed with all the romance genres you could want, but their unique book accessories are to die for! From bookmarks to tote bags to candles, everything is themed so perfectly for readers who adore a good love story. It's clear that so much heart and intention went into creating this space, and it's quickly become one of my favorite spots to browse, shop, and get inspired.

When I was in-town and had a free afternoon, I knew it was my duty as a Swiftie and avid romance reader to stop by the New Romantics! It's diverse (featuring book sections with diverse authors, a large Spanish section, and some fun ones too!) yet pink and fun. I love the pink! They have cute non-book gifts too like stickers, crewnecks, bookmarks, candles, chocolates, and more. When I came in, an author was setting up a table to sign books! There's cushy seating and a few spots to take pictures in. read more

Finally had the chance to checkout this small woman business! I have seen it all over tik tok and finally had time over the weekend to go over and check it out.

As soon as I walked in the door I told my friend, "This is like an adult, scholastic book fair." The bookstore is so dreamy with all of its different shades of pink, the velvety, plush seating, and the brightness of the store. What a much needed dopamine boost. I was greeted and approached immediately even though it was a very busy Saturday afternoon. I was not looking for anything in particular but I ended up leaving with a bestseller that I've had my eye on for several months and a magnetic bookmark, I just couldn't help myself. I cannot wait to return for one of their events. I will probably make a day out of it and grab a donut and iced latte at the Salty Donut, take a walk around East End Market and land here to wrap up an afternoon. Such a convenient location. This is my new fave place. read more

I stopped in for the soft open in of this new romance bookstore and I was blown away! It doesn't matter what form of romance you're into, this shop covers a wide variety from the warmest and fuzzy to the darkest of the dark romances. It was quiet during the time I went so I was able to get in and out with no issue. The books I picked up were all a couple dollars cheaper than Barnes & Noble so I felt like I was getting a good deal, regardless of how much I spent . The girl inside that rang me up was very sweet and filled me in on the owner Jane's journey to a brick & mortar shop. If you're looking to support small, women owned businesses and you or someone you know loves to read, you absolutely have to stop by! read more

The New Romantics is one of the newest bookstores in the Orlando area. The twist is their main focus of books here is strictly romance based books. This shop is nestled in the East End area next to Kelly's Ice Cream and The Owl's Attic. Immediately upon entering you're greeted to a bright pink aesthetic that hits you in the face. They hit the nail on the head when it comes to capturing your attention and the vibe of this place plays very well for those of you that want to come and get your instagram photos of it. They've got some seating available right when you walk in for you to enjoy a new book. I will say it does get a bit crammed in there due to the distance between the shelves and the space you have to walk in between them. When I went there were a slew of people there as well and it was a bit of a task to get through aisles. I do chalk that up to it being a new hot spot in town though. They've got an ample about of books there and everything is organized pretty well. The staff is also quite helpful in guiding you and helping you find things. They've also got a wide selections of stickers and bookmarks. The bottom line, cute new bookstore focusing on romance books. Very nice bright aesthetic with helpful staff and reasonably priced items. read more

As an avid reader, I just knew I had to check out this new woman-owned bookshop that is focused on romance. This bookshop is just what Orlando needed! The second I walked in I was blown away with how beautiful the shop was. There is a cute seating area in the front by the windows with a few couches - they look like a perfect place to sit and drink a coffee while reading books you've just purchased. There are a few little tables and chairs outside as well. There is an amazing selection of books for the size of the place, and I love that they're organized by type of romance - contemporary, fantasy, dark, etc with a section specifically for lgbtq and even a section dedicated to local authors which I love! They also have lots of decorations and bookish supplies like stickers, annotation kits, bookmarks, and totes. It all seemed locally made too. The manager was so nice and the vibe was perfect. The owner is a fellow swiftie and the music matched the theme and decor so perfectly. I definitely recommend going early. I arrived a few minutes after opening on a Sunday and there were probably a dozen other people in the store already, and the parking lot is rather small. I will definitely be going to this bookshop regularly, and I love that no matter what you buy, you're supporting small business and local creators! read more
