I stopped in to The Book Rack today and decided to have a light snack at the Cafe inside…read more I chose the Mushroom and Olive flatbread and Autumn Heat tea. The flatbread was nice and crispy with a good flavor for something pre-made and just needed to be heated. But the highlight of my visit was the Autumn Heat tea. The "Heat" refers to the spice level (one of the ingredients is Hot Honey), you can choose for it to be served hot or cold. I chose to have it served hot. I really enjoy spicy food and drinks. This tea was very spicy! If you enjoy spicy foods you should give this one a try. Otherwise, I recommend you pass on this one! As normal, the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable about what they sell, and polite. Always a pleasure to shop at The Book Rack.

I . Am . In . Love !…read more Stumbled upon this bookstore and went to the cafe first and they were super friendly and the chai and cheese danish I ordered was really good! The bookstore had a dining area, games to stay and play, a discount section, mini events area, just so much not including the books and it was so cute! Books were pricey but given the condition, special editions, etc ... it's understandable. Will definitely be a frequent customer!

Easton's Books is the quintessential used bookstore tucked away in an older building with towering…read morebookcases stacked full of various books. Each book section is clearly marked and no book section is small. Often topics will creep into the other areas. Being a used bookstore their stock is understandably inconsistent. Some books are rare little gemstones, one of a kind treasures. Others are fascinating because there are duplicates of random tomes, like yacht types from the 1980's, that made me wonder how they had more than one at all. The store feels old. A used bookstore, I suppose, should feel old. I enjoyed walking through the aisles looking up at all the various titles. The employees stayed by the front desk - a couple older men who were exchanging stories of tulip festivals long since past. While they didn't engage people walking through they always turned their full attention to any customer who needed their help. It is a fascinating store!

The philosophy section is one of the absolute best I have ever seen at any bookstore period, it's better than even a place like Powell's. I spent close to an hour in that section alone. I find the staff very friendly, if not a little eclectic, but that's perfect for a place like this. Love this place.

I always enjoy a visit here, even if I don't have any book in mind to purchase. I thInk the prices of used books is fair compared with other used bookstores.

Walking into Honey Bear on Front Street feels like stepping into a pocket of pure joy. This…read morecharming Coupeville staple has been delighting visitors for decades, and it's easy to see why. The moment you enter, you're greeted by an eclectic mix of toys, books, nostalgic candies, stuffed animals, games, and unique gifts -- the kind of selection that makes both kids and adults light up with the same sense of wonder. The staff is consistently warm, patient, and genuinely welcoming. Multiple visits have shown how gracious they are with families, children, and curious browsers. The store itself is surprisingly large, with something tucked into every corner: classic candies like lemon drops and sugar daddies, local history books, adorable plushies, clever games, and cards for every occasion. It's the kind of place where you come in "just to look" and leave with treasures you didn't even know you needed. Many visitors say it's a must‑stop every time they're in Coupeville, and I completely agree. Whether you're hunting for a thoughtful gift, indulging your inner child, or simply exploring Coupeville's waterfront shops, Honey Bear is an absolute delight. A true local gem -- warm, whimsical, and wonderfully nostalgic. Highly recommend!

If your taste is like mine, you will want to check out this store if you're ever in Port Townsend. It is a superb little spot that I could spend hours lost in. In addition to the technical books, it had a great selection of antiquarian books on other subjects. I spotted vintage children's books, classics, and poetry. There's a small selection of truly antiquarian books (prior to 1700) in Latin and Greek, as well. I need to go back to do quite a bit more digging around. The owner of the store is very pleasant to converse with. It's true that she prefers cash over credit cards, but as a small business I can't blame her at all. Credit card processing takes a big chunk of every transaction for the merchant.
