What a cutie little bookstore! There is something for everyone here. Fantasy, romance, thriller/mystery, nonfiction, and even an awesome kids section. I loved all the bookish things -- so many cute gift options for the reader in your family or friend group! There are also "blind date with a book" options if you're feeling indecisive and want someone to choose for you. Or you can check out the whiteboard at the front to see what the staff is "currently reading" to find your inspiration! If you love purchasing physical books, support your local bookstore! read more

5 Stars for an independent local bookstore that delivers on great selections, staff recs, banned books, and miscellaneous goodies. I was excited to stumble upon Writer's Block, a bookstore I've heard about for years, while visiting the Winter Garden Farmer's Market. The windows beckoned me in and I immediately saw a bestseller that had been recommended to me recently, so I was stoked to spend my money locally. I also perused their stickers, pens, and other fun local goodies while wandering. There's a robust kids section in the back, so be sure to keep walking! I appreciated the many hand-written staff recommendations and teasers for books on the shelf, and also the entire section on banned books that described the reason for the banning. Love a store taking a stance for banned books! Overall, I plan to continue supporting independent bookstores instead of the massive, bloated, unethical, late-stage capitalist hellscape that is Amazon. Hope others are tempted to walk in and enjoy the rare little bookshop the way I was when walking around downtown Winter Garden! read more

This is such a cute book store! They have a lot of different genres of books and even have banned books. It looks very small from the outside, but it is a nice size. One thing that I think is really interesting is they have books that are recommended by the employees and they are wrapped so it is a mystery what you are getting. That is such a cool way to get you reading out of your box! The employees that work there are super helpful. They have the cutest separate children's section. You walk up a few steps and under an arch to get to it! The value is very fair. I left the best for last because it is LOCALLY OWNED!!! I love that! read more

First and foremost, I love bookstores. Secondly, I love shopping local. A place that is BOTH? Yes. One hundred percent yes. This bookstore is rather deceiving from the outside and looks far smaller than it actually is. It is a two-story building with a full-fledged children's section taking up the second floor, so be sure you don't miss this part! You'll find all the genres you could possibly want and if you struggle to find anything specific, just ask a staff member as they are quick to assist. The pricing is fair as it's the same as what's on the book itself, and it's great to support a local spot! Overall: A+ Local, books, plenty to offer. Yes. read more

I finally went into this cute look bookstore and I loved it. They have a banned books section, romance, young adult, children's area, and more. What I loved most was that we could bring our pup inside! This allowed me to look around more and see all they had to offer. Definitely plan to go back. read more

I am a big fan of both Writers Block locations. They have a wonderful selection of books including local authors. We stopped into this location a few weeks ago to get the kids a couple of books and also add a few titles to my wishlist for future reading. The staff here is most helpful. During our visit it was packed and my son had questions about a couple books and the team member there helped all the customers and took the time to walk him to a couple spots where the books he wanted were located. Check them out! read more

Bookworm's dream! For being a smaller bookshop, I still could have been in there for hours. They have all of the popular books. The cutest book accessories. Prices are normal. The book I purchased had a tiny bend at the bottom corner. Most likely from customers picking it up and putting it back carelessly. The employee offered me 10% because of it. Super happy. I wish they had this shop in South FL. read more

I have been looking for a local bookstore for so long and I am so glad I found Writer's Block Bookstore! They have all of your favorite book, annotation tools, tote bags and more! It really is a book lovers dream! I love that the staff has organized book clubs throughout the months and different book events for new releases. Even though it's a small bookstore, the prices seemed comparable to larger retailers such as Barnes & Noble and Booksamillion from what I could see. I love that I can shop at a small local bookstore now! read more

Finding a local independent bookshop isn't an easy task so when I stumbled on this one I dropped in while in town. A great offering of diverse books.

I reserve some money each year at holiday season to spend on private bookstores. It's like a little treat to myself. Last year I spent it on this wonderful bookstore in Winter Garden. The staff was helpful and patient. She took her time explaining to me the editions that I've never seen of my favorite classic books. I gladly bought 3 of them, also got husband some books that he may or may not read as a surprise :) Love coming here. Their canvas bag is my everyday go-to casual bag. Will always be back whenever I am in the area. read more

Such a great addition to the Plant Street area of Winter Garden. A bookstore was really all this local shopping area needed. From adults to children books there were many to choose from. There is even a children's nook area towards the back of the store. read more

Love that our neighborhood finally has a bookstore! This independent bookstore opened a downtown Winter Garden location on Friday and it is small but fierce. They even offered a 10 percent discount for their opening. The owners put a lot of time and love into artfully arranging the bookstore. Shopping here was as fun as shopping in Waterstones bookstore in Piccadilly London. They had holiday books displayed in the front and a children's section in the back which was thoughtfully organized by age and themes. They also have a nice collection of stationary and small gifts. Definitely plan to make this my go to bookstore. read more

Really enjoy the bookstore in downtown Winter Garden. They have a second location in Winter Park. We visit each time we are in the area. Yes, you can find any book here on Amazon. That is not the point. Local bookstores need the support. I'm ok paying the extra $10.00. The service is great. They have a fantastic selection to chose from. My daughter will pick her book out and always sits down on their comfortable chairs to begin her book. Well done Writers Block in Winter Garden. Keep up the great work. read more

Could not be more excited for this Plant St. addition! I love browsing books in person so having this location near home is exciting. I visited this past weekend for the first time and enjoyed seeing all the little notes highlighting good reads. Definitely gives a nice touch to the shopping experience when you're undecided on what to pick up next. The store itself is very well organized with a cute children's book nook at the back. We found some nice Spanish books for my nephew. Staff was very friendly, she let us know they plan on having book club meetings in the future. I look forward to making this a regular stop on my downtown Winter Garden trips. read more

Instead of Writer's Block this place should have been called wallet block. Worst customer service I have ever had in a store. The two young ladies working this weekend spent more time talking to each other than paying attention to customers who might actually be considering buying things despite the fact that I passed them at least four times and stood right in front of them trying to locate something on the shelf. They didn't even take the time to say hello to my husband and I when we walked in, though they said hello to several other customers that came in and had conversations with quite a few that were already in the store. Needless to say the items that I was planning to buy I put back on the shelves. Definitely won't be returning to this store. read more

Sunday 6/11 the one woman working should be fired. She had long dark hair. She helped no customers and the whole time she was talking loudly about how great she was to the other employee. She was talking about her GPA and insulting FSU very loudly. She was completely unaware that she was at work or even in public. I actually felt bad for the other employee. We left and our party of five bought nothing due to poor customer service. read more
