“I adore this store. It’s the real deal with such an abundance of spiritual goods. Amazing tumbled crystal selection that is SO affordable. Lots of obscure tarot as well.”
“Im like freaking addicted to this store I always buy DVDs and CDs and sometimes if they don't have it in store they always ordered it I also into the books too I've been shopping here since they open their store is so neat clean and always friendly staff as well I just only shop here for my books CDs and dvd blu-rays I just love this store what else can I say it's just a magical place I'm addicted to it”
“I can always find something to read at Books & Co and the price is right! Most books are in excellent shape. Plus, with trade credit it makes the price even better. Also, in addition to books, they sell both coffee and bakery items and a variety of small gift items. My kids are somewhat obsessed with their section of small unique toys (fidget spinners, squishy animals, etc) so it's a no-brainer to come here for birthday gifts and stocking stuffers. Highly recommend.”
“An all around great place to find your next escape from your reality with a good read! Relaxing atmosphere. Add snacks & caffeine, what more could you want!?! ?”
“The Fat Robin is THE place for wild bird supplies. Might be one of the last stores to still be a Brome Dealer. Great selection and inventory, very well organized and the staff is great! Can you find something cheaper elsewhere? Probably. But. you wont get the level of service you get at Fat Robin. The fact that this store has been in business for 28 years speaks volumes.”
“Extremely comfortable and vibey cafe. A must go for anyone who just wants excellent, and extremely affordable coffee and bagels. Free water is provided and the staff were extremely friendly. Theres are tonnes of books on the shelves as well for you to browse through.”
“This was a great find--a booklover's paradise! Found some fun old children's books and some great first editions (nothing super valuable but cool to find). You could literally spend hours here browsing. And that was in the smaller barn! There was a larger barn also full of books we did not get to. Have to save it for another trip.?”
“This is a nice concept:Book store with a coffee shop, a serious book store.Some of the stuff are premade, so adjust your expectations.Their bakery’s portions are big, but being a usual France traveler, it’s just OK. Good for feeding hungry students.Coffee, oh coffees. It’s ok for New Haven standard, I guess.If not because the gentleman cooked a nice corque monsieur for, I would probably give them 3 stars.”
“Amazing selection of quality Yale branded items. We shopped during a sale, which made it surprisingly economic. The only minimal downside is that they didn't have dog toys. Still a great experience with friendly, helpful associates.”
“I traded in a stack of books and got a good amount of store credit. The books are veryyyy reasonably priced and she has a huge selection of books and if you’re looking for something specific you can just ask her and she will help. I can’t wait to go back! You can also keep an eye on her Facebook page because she posts pictures of new books she gets.”
“To the staff of the SCSU bookstore in New Haven, CT Thank you for a job well done. I can't imagine the work you do especially during the rush times. Larry Gall - you're the best!”
“This is a gem of a place. The nicest staff you’ll ever meet, and best of all - books are all free! Make sure you donate to the cause, because they are soon running out of cash and may not be able to stay open long without your support”
“All the employees here are fast and polite. I came to pick up my book only hours after placing my order on the first day of school and it was a breeze.
Thank you Tom for going above and beyond to help me today!”
“Lots of stuff for students and tons of New Haven swag. Would like to see better organization of the athletic stuff (football specifically) to make it easier to find. Also bigger sizes for football stuff as players are generally XL or 2X or bigger.”
