We came across Crescent City Books while doing a walkabout in the French Quarter. With cocktails in hand, we strolled through CCB. I was instantly drawn to their local authors section, and I walked away with "Big Freedia: God Save the Queen Diva!" A gf of mine got a children's book, and another friend purchased some postcards. Overall, great experience.

The person working there was welcoming and friendly, even recommending another book about the artist I was buying a book on as I checked out. It's a great place to stop in and discover new reads!!

Pricing is fair. The owner is helpful and a conversationalist, so if you enjoy those aspects of bookstores you should definitely stop by. I would recommend bringing a LED flashlight. The owner has a small one, and you can use your phone, but they're not bright enough for some of the nooks and crannies. Not entirely sure about its hours - was open during the week when I stopped by but not on Sunday.

It has this magical,…read moreoverflowing charm that honestly reminded me of the library in Barbie of Swan Lake -- towering stacks of books, shelves crammed with treasures, and the feeling that no matter how long you browse, you'll keep discovering something new. There's a resident cat who wanders around saying hello, which just adds to the cozy, quirky atmosphere. The place has so much character -- books tucked into every corner and that perfect "organized chaos" vibe only the best secondhand shops manage to pull off. I could spend full days in here and still not see everything. Easily one of the best bookshops I've ever visited.

Definitely a very large selection of used books and it rewards those who like to browse and find something unexpected. My wife actually found a paperback from one of her favorite authors so we purchased it. Oh yes, and the bookstore cat just adds to the vibe. We couldn't tell if it was real or not since it was so still (sleeping) but then it moved al little bit. Meow!

Frank greeted us when we walked in, and then shared the story of Faulkner's history in the building, a former boarding house. The bookstore is the room where Faulkner did his writing, and although small, has a well curated selection of books. Faulkner's books are highlighted on the center table, classics line the walls, a bookshelf of poetry is in the second room, and plenty of books on New Orleans culture are available.

I purchased a "must have for class" 16 paged paperback book for 20 bucks (not a happy camper) ughhhh. Homed in a trailer/storage container of such, they've made good use of space inside. Outside looks like something that sits on the back of a 18wheeler, but inside is nicely arranged, spacious & neat. Upon entrance to the left are items that you can freely pick up for purchase, to the right seems to be a restricted/employee only area; here are the majorly overpriced textbooks. Nice, helpful, friendly, smiling ladies inside are eager to assist you with your selection & as this is their business, they seem to know what you need before you can say it... #psychicabilities I LOVE IT!!! Treat yourself to a piece of candy by the register as you exit or not... Either way this was a truly pleasure robbery, I mean textbook purchasing experience. (Smile)

This Barnes and Noble location used to be my main study spot when I was still in high school. There…read moreare many tables that are available for you to sit at and the inside is very spacious. The staff is also pretty nice and helpful if you had any questions. The only reason why I'm giving them four stars is because there are no outlets available if you had to charge your laptop or cell phone which is a bit of a hassle since most people usually use electronics for their studying. Other than that, this is still a solid Barnes and Noble in the Westbank area.

I actually visited here because I found out they actually had the JUST egg bagel which I had been looking for all over the country. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was in Harvey, LA of all places. The establishment was also very big, clean, well lit, and had a great ambiance to it. The customer service was good as well and I look forward to visiting again when I am in the crescent city. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, my Friends!!

I'm slowly making my way through their coffee menu, by asking each barista what their favorite…read moredrink is and then ordering that the next time I go. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, both about books and the coffee. Every single coffee drink I've tried is absolutely outstanding. My favorite so far is If Beale Street Could Talk, a cayenne-infused mocha. It is spicy, smoky and delicious. The bookstore is lovely, too. They have plenty of events, and there are always at least a few crowds hanging around. Their selection is lovely and I always find a few new books to read. Beautiful outdoor patio, plus they have a small recording studio for podcasts (I think) and a bunch of tables, games, puzzles, etc. I love this spot! I think about their drinks all the time

James Baldwin was known as "God's Black revolutionary mouth" and is also the forever #1 guest on my…read moredead or alive party list. This bookstore is a true community spot. When we visited, it was crowded, but there was an event going on outside. Additionally, groups were there to meet and have coffee and chat. They have a coffee bar that appears to be well appointed. The book selection is wonderful. So many James Baldwin titles, including some you don't see regularly. They do online orders, so if you are looking for Baldwin books or books on Black history/social justice, consider buying from this Black owned business instead of Amazon. They also have a beautiful air bnb for rent. As mentioned in other reviews, this is in the Marigny/Bywater neighborhood and can be made part of a full day of activities, including JamNola and Allways Lounge and great restaurants.
