Visiting from San Antonio and Instagram informed me of this new store here in Denton. I am a book lover and this place didn't disappoint! Loved that not only will they be selling books but also candles, stickers, bookmarks etc. They also sell drinks! Staff was super friendly. The candles smell amazing and the bookmarks are super cute- great price for all items. The back though! An amazing area for sitting in the back! Bring a book and hang out! Definitely a stop for next book club trip! Can't wait to see what more this store brings around.

This was a really cool bookstore to visit! I am not gonna lie. It is mainly geared towards women. But even as a man who happened to be there with my wife, I did not feel uncomfopurple visiting. On top of being a bookstore, they are a bar. With kind of a speak easy type drinking room in the back. In addition to books, they sell other merchandise as well.Most notably their selection of socks!

Entrance to the quiet back room. Enter here with your bought merchandise and a drink from their bar.

Best romance book store we've ever been to! Such a great vibe, we'd spend many days here if we could! A must visit for all your romance novels and merch finds! Plus a quiet back room "book nook" of sorts to just escape the hustle bustle of the day, grab a drink from their mixed drinks menu and read a book back there. It's super cute! We loved it! Could spend hours here, esp since they have a very clean, well decorated bathroom with good hand smelling soap! Lol it's all fantastic!

My family and I had the BEST day visiting The Plot Twist! There are books for every type of romance reader, book themed bar/coffee specials, and a reading lounge to sit back and drink a Tamlin's Tears while you recover from dropping your life-savings on all things bookish. I was so excited to find lots of local works from authors. The owner and staff were so kind and friendly to every customer. They were offering to take pictures for customers, give book recommendations, talk about upcoming plans for the store, or talk about anything book related. It's a bookstore you dream (or read) of visiting. I can't wait to go back!

Visited this bookstore with a group of friends while walking around denton square. The store is very niche with a cozy vibe. A bit on the small side and tight during busy weekends. The drink menu was right in line with the theme of romance books. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity and trying to decipher who was in line for drinks, who was just standing around, and who was browsing books I finally made it to the front of the bar and ordered the Xaddy drink. It was blueberry and vanilla flavored with many other ingredients. Overall the drink tasted great but was also way too sweet and after talking more with the bartender we learned that this was only the first weekend serving drinks so I'm giving them a slight pass. The bartender told us that they could only pour 1oz shots into the drinks which surprised me since 2oz tends to be the standard for most bars and i would think that for around $12 i should be able to get a 2oz pour rather than what tasted more like a overly sugary mock-tail. Additionally, the drink serving was painfully slow, to the point that i stood in line for a second drink for nearly 15 minutes without any movement before i just gave up and went to get drinks somewhere else. It's unfortunate that this was the experience as i truly feel like the drink menu so well thought out but just fell short from what seemed to be an inexperienced bartender. This place is in huge need of a bartender with some real experience during peak hours that can get drinks out fast and keep the line moving and i also hope they can work out their pours so that the drinks are not quit as sugary. Overall this place is a great idea with a solid foundation with just okay execution.

Came here with some ladies from my Book Club and I really enjoyed this space! The cafe is such a fun add to this place. I love the fact that they offer both cocktails and mocktails! The ladies in my group really enjoyed the options! I will say that it is a small quaint place, so there isn't a terrible amount of seating. You pretty much have to grab a spot the second someone gets up from the table. So that's great for someone who wants a cozy spot to enjoy a book but it's not ideal for those who are trying to get together with a group of people. But it can definitely be done! Not a deterrent, but something for people to consider! All in all, I really enjoyed coming here and will definitely be back!

I absolutely adore this place. My partner and I have visited twice now and we have been met with such kindness both times. Everyone is always so open to talking and sharing. There drinks are INCREDIBLE! They make a specialized menu that clearly has a lot of thought and is, for lack of a better description, absolutely girly pop in the best way. The lounge and over ambiance is welcoming and comfortable. I could read here for hours. So glad this business is a parts of the Denton community!

And you create a space that honors the building and updating it with warm wood and fixtures, you're doing it right in my opinion. I loved the selections offered here and so did my daughters and granddaughter. Yes, I bought books here and my granddaughter was thrilled. There's a dedicated children's area with nice seating for them. There was a touch of magic there. Kids were happy and couldn't wait to get to the next book. That is what a book store is supposed to be about. I met the owners and both are genuinely nice and they care about their customers and their business. Both are very knowledgeable and more than happy to help in any way. If you're in Denton, you need to drop in and browse around - I bet you walk out with a great book!

Such is Patchouli Joe's Books & Indulgences. This is one of the most charming bookstores you will encounter. They have books for everyone, but I was taken back with the adorable children's sections I have seen in a bookstore. This Indie Bookstore really has a nice vibe to it. Part of that comes from the helpful people who work here, part of it from the other customers in the store. Altogether, everyone seemed to be relaxed and enjoying each other's company and the coffee/tea that they provide for their guests here. Pro Tips: 1) sign up for the rewards program 2) plan to spend a little time here because you will love it here 3) enjoy some of the delicious coffee!

I then actually applied for the job of Police Officer for our local police department, and was interviewed by a sergeant in the living room of our Roberts St. house, where I grew up with my three sisters and brother Scott, who was a very good French Horn player who went to the world famous and notorious North Texas State University, where he honed his musical performance skills to the apex playing in the Washington, D.C. based National Symphony Orchestra; his pastor wife, Leslie playing alongside. The National Symphony Orchestra is simply the best representative for these United States on the performance stage, and they share a place in my heart, because I actually was blessed with the sacred fortune of joining the orchestra in St. Petersburg, and Moscow in the year 1990. Students of history will remember that the Berlin Wall came crash down, and I was blessed with fortune of witnessing history in the moment of finality and sincere graceful end. Take it from someone who actually stood in freezing snow, in Budapest then the former Soviet Union, now basically retired and resting. Give Caesar what is Caesar's, and dare enough to turn over the evil tax collectors's tables; Jesus Christ saved us all with His blood shed on the cross at Calvary; I am blessed with a short enough memory to fill in the blanks of my rough and tumble daily routines, all of which are currently being stress tested, found to be safe and robust and currently found to be lacking in some ways, including the nebulous and vital ways. Remember, one cannot "study" for a typical physician ordered stress test, unless you consider the very logical process of changing our dietary habits. If we are really prepared to go the whole hog, we really should be positively anchored in our Lord Jesus and continue to improve when we can manage. Please remember to be your brother or sister's keeper and continue to #PayItForward to the family members who love you and help to improve. Cheers, Mark F.

The price quoted was a lot with a 10 week wait! But after they explained what repair entailed and what to look for when purchasing a BIble that lasts, I understood.

I decided to just buy the kid a new Bible (one not glued, but sown together, her recommendation) but if I ever need a book repair service, they will surely get my business.

If you want a quick-and-dirty commercial fix, this is not your place. But if you are looking for a European time machine that will take a beloved book back to what it was or even better, this is the spot for you. We came to the Book Doctor with a small devotional, quite honestly a lost cause with no cover or binding and several severely damaged pages. We were hoping for some sort of cover and binding to preserve it since it is of great sentimental value and over 90 years old. What we received back was a gorgeous gem, a true made-to-order family heirloom. Not only was the cover beautiful, the binding is a work of art and pages we thought were lost forever were delicately and expertly restored. We stand amazed. Again, if you expect to do it on the cheap and have it by next week, forget it. But if the book in question matters to you and you budget for time and money, plan in advance, make an appointment with one of their experts, then expect the best. These are artisans who will pour all their skill and experience into your valued piece and devote entire days solely to its restoration.
