“I love going back to Curious Goods every few months as I can to see all the new, different things and admire everything and buy some new supplies,
Also the store aisles are wide enough for mobility aides, but the front door has a couple inch drop :( not their fault the building was built how it was, but they made their aisles wide enough”
“I love this store. Kelly has been my person since I started coming here and it's like a second home. Super organized, great non book stuff and just a great vibe”
“They were very helpful in getting me started with a squirrel-proof bird feeder for my deck. It was easy to set up. (I have a hilarious photo of a squirrel trying unsuccessfully to get to the seed.) I've seen so many beautiful birds! I have to refill it every 2 days because the birds love it so much!”
“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 have been to B&N North Haven on many occasions over the years and have often found the staff to be distant and less than responsive however on my last 3-4 visits over the past 6 months I have noticed a remarkable improvement in the staffs customer service. Thank You.”
“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.?”
“Book Trader is one of my favorite places on campus. It’s the perfect study spot with amazing drinks, great snacks, and such a cozy atmosphere. The concept of trading books is so unique and awesome.
On top of that, the owner, David, puts so much care into this place and is one of the kindest people ever. He’s made such a positive impact and his warmth and passion for the shop really show.”
“Great place, great lady running things. They don't have everything but if you are looking for a read not research and want to payless and even be able to bring it back for credit when your done Penny's is the place for you. Can't always find the one thing I want but can always find something worth the trouble.”
“This was an exceptional book store. An attentive lady with short hair guided me to my destination. She scoured the area using memory and signage.
I found a useful book. I left the bookstore with a task completed.”
“A hidden gem in New Haven! Free books! I found some copies of my favorite book here and a few others to explore also consider donating your books! Some photos are from the mutual aide program that is run here monthly. Free items for all, be sure to donate and recycle some items food, clothing, pet food that need a new home. More spaces like these need to exist considering the burden overconsumption puts in our environment and well being. Thanks to all who make this space possible! I believe there are events here as well, just check it out!”
“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.”

“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.”
