“I like coming here and looking at the magazines. They have a wide selection of books and magazines. They also have a small eatery . The restrooms are usually pretty clean. I highly recommend this store.”
“I love this store! Although it can't be officially classed as wheelchair accessible, both manual and electric wheelchair users can phone the store in advance and arrange to enter via the delivery bay at the rear of the store. The local council has been refusing to allow the owners to build a ramp at the front entrance! If you're a wheelchair user and love rocks, minerals, books, clothing, and other metaphysical & spiritual items, don't let the alternative entrance put you off. The prices are excellent, and I've been in dozens of metaphysical stores from Nova Scotia to Central Florida. The range of rocks/crystals and minerals is vast, and their quality is great. There are items priced from $1 to thousands of dollars, so there's something for everyone. The store has several sections, so make sure to have a good look around. All of the members of staff are friendly, helpful, polite, and knowledgeable. Any time my husband and I are passing through Connecticut, we make time to visit this fantastic store. We live in Nova Scotia, but it's well worth the journey as a side-trip on our summer vacations. Shout-out to Sonja & Ed for their magical store and wonderful welcome 💖. *My photos from inside the store are over a year old because I got a bit distracted by all the beautiful crystals!”
“This was my first time visiting Olive Tree Books N Voices, however will not be my last. Upon entering the store Ms Zee the owner was so warm and welcoming. And the store has a myriad of books and accessories. I got several gifts for Christmas. Could have spent hours in the store will definitely be back.”
“Absolutely adored this shop! A friend and I spent quite some time meandering this huge selection! The woman who runs the store is quite lovely- be sure to give her a visit if you’re in the area and hungry for your next read! We’re already planning our next visit 🩷”
“I purchased a sweatshirt from there this past week. I spoke with Elisa because I wasn't sure what I wanted? And she was SUPER helpful choosing what I wanted! She kept me updated on the status of my order, shipped it in record time, and even included a few Hershey Kisses as a thank you for my order! I would definitely order from them again!”
“Although most of their good items get sold out, the WNE bookstore has most, if not all, of your school needs, including shirts, sweaters, sweatpants, books, supplies, and more”
“I highly recommend the STCC book store. The staff provides excellent customer service my online order was quickly prepared within a few days. They have a great selection of school spirit gear, although I hope they restock the sweatpants soon as there have been only three pairs available since last year.”
Barnes & Noble is proving that physical bookstores aren't going anywhere. The retailer just opened three new locations across Texas and South Carolina, marking another step in its comeback story. Barnes & Noble opened 57 stores in 2024 alone - more than it had opened in the entire decade from 2009 to 2019. The company isn't slowing down either, with plans to open more than 60 new stores in 2025 and a goal of reaching over 1,000 stores nationwide in the coming years.
