There are so many options to choose from (fiction, art, and you can literally spend hours walking around through every nook and cranny. We met the owners and they were so nice!

They have a private, kids area/room in the back, which my kids enjoy very much so they often head straight there upon entering the store. The kids' area isn't as filled to the brim like the big chain bookstores, so my girls don't get overwhelmed with choices. Their displays are changed frequently so there's always new things to look at. The stuff gives knowledge recommendations, are always patient and friendly. They host many book events in person and on zoom. They also have a great stationery selection. I just love this bookstore.

How personable and welcoming she is, I decided "go for it. Buy some books!". So I did. The inventory here, I imagine, revolves pretty quickly.

For as long as…read moreI've lived on this side of town, I must tell you I have missed this opportunity however, in this particular case I did not, and had a most pleasant experience. Firstly, the ambience is absolutely wonderful. It's seconds as a bookstore and truly is precisely that a book club apparently. On this particular evening, I was mesmerized by my gas rather than literature however, I will be sure to return for the ladder. The bartender was not only skillful. She was courteous and pleasant, and on point when it came to a Sazerac, which I truly enjoyed. Kudos to both her and her employer. There is no question that I will return. If you're in the Richmond Rosenberg area and are in search of a cocktail. I would buy all means recommend this place. It's a wonderful experience.
