Alas, the line was extremely long and didn't seem to be moving that fast, and the seating was packed. We decided to seek breakfast elsewhere after exploring the books. Since we didn't eat there, this review pertains only to the bookstore. It was very crowded and noisy. The focus here is definitely on fiction, so if that is your thing, you will probably love it. We were hoping for a more comprehensive selection. There were also lots of gift items, puzzles, cards, crafts, etc.

Why hasn't changed is that this store is awesome and well worth a visit when you're in town. Kari Meutsch and Kristian Preylowski bought the shop in 2017 and expanded its physical footprint. They've added some products (LPs) and expanded their selection of others. And their website offers a variety of options for ordering that are very useful. Mostly, though, this is a great shop to browse, with knowledgeable staff who can help you find what you might want if you don't know for sure. Highly recommended!

I am pleased to report they have a large used book section on the second floor. I will definitely be visiting this charming place more often!
