This is a lovely bookstore that I'll continue to go back to. They have precious little space, so sometimes it's strange to see the books they choose to put on their shelves. They also have a nice children's section.

Loyalty bookstore is a great place to walk in and peruse. The books here are tastefully displayed and really highlight the contribution of black authors within the creative space of literary arts. The store was organized by genres and the staff were friendly. The bookstore also spotlights local authors. Treat yourself!

One of my new favorite DC bookstores! I'm a librarian and bookseller, so I have high standards for bookstores but Loyalty's DC location is everything I want in a bookstore- a highly curated, diverse selection, a cozy space, and incredibly friendly staff!

Great selection of books and I love that some of the books have mini reviews typed up and included next to them. Malik is nice as shit and is an avid reader so it was easy to trust him to help me pick out a few good ones. I'll be back !

We love Loyalty Bookstore, in particular getting advised on new books according to our reading skills and taste! Even if the book is not on their shelves, they will find it for you. This is the best bookstore to find excellent authors who are lesser known!

I have not visited Loyalty Bookstore yet, but they have a wonderful collaborative relationship with the DC Public Library. Loyalty Bookstore has supported author talks and other events within DCPL. Kudos to Loyalty Bookstore.

I purchased "This is What I Know About Art" by Kimberly Drew from the online store. The website was super easy to navigate, the shipping was reasonable, and FAST! I received an email within a couple hours of placing my order and even though I chose Media Mail as the shipping method, I got my order in less than a week and I got a real surprise when I found out I got a copy signed by the author! They even took extra care with shipping; inside the envelope, my book was wrapped in paper with a bookmark and a copy of my receipt/orderand they replied to what I wrote in the notes section of my order. They have a HUGE eclectic selection of books for, by, and about the Black community. Truly a great resource and a fantastic experience all around.

Local treasure ? excellently curated bookshop with a great layout. The staff are extremely kind and always happy to order you a book if they don’t have it in stock. I believe this shop is also Black- and Queer- owned. You can also find small gifts here if you need one on the way to a party.

A friend recommended I visit Loyalty Books, (from Northern VA.) Absolutely, well worth trek across river and time spent. Loved everything!! From excellent selection to service with a smile, the friendly, knowledgeable staff made for a wonderful book buying experience. I highly recommend and will visit again very soon.

I find it hard to not give small bookshops 5 stars but this one especially deserves. While small, Loyalty bookstore packs a punch with the variety of books they have and with emphasis on POC authors. Love that it's Black woman owned!
