It is so big with so many books! The rooms just keep going and going. I really liked the way the books were organized on the shelves and the prices are great. I picked up a book that felt brand new.

They talk, read, study, meet up, and exist together for a while. There's a different energy here that makes you want to slow down and be part of it. I love this place!!!!! There's more than just coffee and books here; there's a little community. There's a bulletin board filled with flyers for local happenings, book clubs, celebrations, etc. I came here one weekend to study and it, thankfully, wasn't too busy. The cashier was friendly and welcoming, there's WiFi, and a fair amount of seating. I can see this place getting packed during peak hours. One thing I noticed right away was a small book club meeting happening near where I was working. It helped me relax while I was focusing on my work! I think that's why so many of us like working in coffee shops... you can be alone while still feeling connected to other people around you. I'll definitely be back, not just for the coffee, but for the genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Thanks !

I had gotten a gift card for this coffee shop / bookstore and decided that I really wanted to go…read morecheck it out. I went on March 10th around 1:30 p.m. and I was so happy that I went. I originally went into find a book called before the coffee gets cold and ended up finding another selection that was recommended by one of the staff members called hot chocolate on Thursday. Once I had made my purchase I decided I wanted to really be immersed in the space and in one of my pictures you can see that I got a iced coffee with a blueberry scone. Both of the food items were perfect. The coffee had an amazing taste to it and the scone was unbelievably like perfectly buttery and not overly run by sugar even though it had sugar on it it just was perfectly balanced. The thing that I really enjoyed about this bookstore though was that it made me feel safe. I am part of the lgbtq+ community and being there made my soul and heart happy. I was surrounded by my community and I could tell just how happy they were. There was a group of folks in the middle tables starting to get ready for a small event it look like an art drawing event. The way they talked with each other and just the smiles they had on their faces made me smile so big. This place is a true gem within the area and if you ever have a chance to come in here to just be in a space of warm and belonging please do. And like I said the food they provide is super tasty and they have an array of selections regarding books and they can even order stuff online for you if they don't have it for pick up later. Hands down really really love this place.

They sell just about any hippie or new age item you could want: books, reference books, spellbooks, tarot cards, incense, incense holders, sage smudge sticks, candles, crystals, wands, singing bowls, deity figurines, totem animal statues, prayer flags, and embossed velvet bags to hold all the pretties in. They even have a "reader" (which I presume is of the tarot card or palm variety) in the shop on most weekends. But you don't need to be a earth magic practioner or wood nymph to enjoy On Purpose's wares. They also have plenty of gifts, cards, art, gorgrous jewelry and home & garden decor.

I was impressed at the many quite recent publications alongside many other well-known (or lesser known but well reviewed) books. I assume they have many loyal customers engaging in buy-back. Feels like the type of place that I could stop by without any particular book in mind, and walk out with a purchase I enjoy (which is essentially exactly what I want in a bookstore). The bookstore itself has a very old-timey bookstore feel, with wooden shelves (a bit narrow), a bookish smell, some haphazard stacks of books, and the kind of reverent silence I associate with the library. I loved it.
