“I ordered a book about running on the phone. This Barnes & Noble only had one in stock. I asked the clerk to hold the book for one day. When I arrived at the customer service desk the next day, my book was waiting for me. The checkout process was clean and sweet. I received excellent customer service.”
“Oh my god. The each staff member was SO helpful and friendly and it truly made my Saturday so special. Next time y’all are in the area, this place is truly worth a visit. My new go-to spot for gifts as well.”
“My favourite bookstore! They consistently have interesting books in both their used and new sections, and the staff are all super friendly. I’ve sold my books here a couple times and found the process to be very easy.”
“I absolutely love Charis!! Their passion for books and community truly shines through & it’s the kind of place where you feel welcome just for being there.
I was most recently looking for a book that they didn't have in stock but they were able to order it for me and it got there in less than a week! The order and pickup process was seamless. They took care of everything & kept me updated along the way.
I've also had the pleasure of working with their team in a professional manner and they have been nothing but amazing. I can truly see how much they care for their community with each interaction.
Whether you’re browsing for a great read, picking up a special order, or just looking for a welcoming community space, Charis is truly exceptional & I highly recommend!!”
“Brought my 2 girls here today cause they're always looking for another interesting book to read! very friendly environment, and always finding what we're looking for ?”
“Best place around to pass a sunday afternoon ! Cozy atmosphere and wonderful selection of books and gifts. Particularly recommended the childrens’ books and gifts section ?”
“Super cute inside and good lattes! Most books are either cookbooks or children’s books but the atmosphere is still adorable. I got a matcha with oat milk and my mom got a vanilla latte with oat milk. All were reasonably priced. You should definitely check it out!”
“Just the smell alone coming through the door took me back to another place. Absolutely love this store. Had everything I wanted. Friendly staff and great selections.”
“Their youth ministry put on a Spoken Word Showcase. Even the food served was creative and artistic. I was there with my WOF sisters (Cheetah Girls) for a birthday outing. Every artist wore many hats. They could speak, sing, cook, dance, do videography, lighting, etc. All the performers were just amazing and you couldbtell they put a lot of themselves in the words and songs they shared. They gave blessed energy and words. They shared personal experiences through spoken word and song that you could feel with every syllable and tone. It was a great night.”
“TRINKET LOVERS; THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU!
Amazing selection of keychains, blind boxes, stickers, magnets, bags, and stuffed animals. They have a bunch of series of Smiskis, two types of calico critters, Sonny angels (NOT the hipper version), lots of Miffy, etc.
As for the Jellycats, they had a few small ones, but the entire back wall (stuffed animal section) was not Jellycat. Still cute stuffed animals but totally thought they were Jellycats when I looked into the store which is why I came in.
I totally loved it in here!! The prices are not awful for REAL collectibles as well. I mean, they aren’t great in the grand scheme of things when you remember you’re paying $14 for a plastic toy😅, BUT cheaper than some places i’ve been to before.”
“Very conducive education wise , great degree of hospitality, very encouraging and down to Earth people. Clean environment and good aura that enables one to elevate to higher planes”
“I’ve been going to bookstores in and around Atlanta this summer.
This bookshop is 5 minutes from where I work so once I realized it was here, I stopped in. This is a small-medium shop with a fantastic selection of books. It’s got that wonderful warm bookstore feel and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
They have a great children’s section and even let their young readers put up their own recommendations. I was pleased to see not only books I read in school 15 years ago (the Giver) but also current series (Keepers of the Lost Cities).
For one of the series in the adult section, they had a reading order list up, which I thought was very helpful. They also have a couple of rotating displays upfront near the check out counter. They had their Father’s Day display up as well as a cat themed one.
Additionally, they have a nice selection of other items such as stickers, puzzles, and bookish items.
I will definitely be stopping in again after work.”

“Great little store to get vegetarian meat substitutes! I've been going there for years. The Employees are very nice and have even shared Vegetarian Recipes with me.”
“Absolutely loved my experience at the Emory Book Store! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming me with a smile and offering help the moment I walked in. I went there to pick up faculty regalia at the last minute, and they were extremely helpful and understanding about the situation. They made the process quick and stress-free, going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. The store also has a great selection of books, school supplies, and Emory gear—it’s the perfect spot for students, faculty, and visitors alike. It’s clear they care about creating a great experience for everyone who walks through the door. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re on or near campus!”
“I decided to come out of hibernation and randomly googled black owned bookstores. It is a vibe, I happened to walk in on a fundraiser and thoroughly enjoyed myself.”
“This is THE place for Georgia Tech merch. Our son was recently accepted to Tech and we went here to celebrate by getting gear for our family. The selection here is extensive and while the prices aren't any great deal, they're on par with most other merchants. We had a positive experience with their service when we realized after getting our items home and noticing that we were double charged for an item and when my wife notified them, the associate, Hope credited back the overcharge.”
“This place with such a vibe!!!! Truly a lovely third space to meet beautiful (outward and inward) and informed Black people. I find ppl congregate here on a common front for true equality and forward thinking consciousness/ change. I overheard and got invited to many beautiful conversations here and hung out here for quite some time!! The shop is placed in a historic part of Atlanta and it really ties in well with the surrounding areas. It’s honestly my favorite bookstore in the city that I had the pleasure of going to for my first time in Atlanta, and I’ll never forget the experience. I had the pleasure of also meeting the owner. She was the sweetest person I could ever meet, as well as her friends! They really welcomed me with open arms, so much free knowledge to partake on the center table, as well as rare books and media that are fair priced. I got a shirt and tote bag too!!”
“When in to purchase a bible and struck up a conversation with an older gentleman, I wish I had gotten his name so I can mention him. He was very kind and offended me to go to the chapel and pray. Best decision I made in a long time. Very quiet and I felt the presence of the Lord.”

“Went to an amazing event this weekend. Was the first time I've ever been inside the ACU campus. The parking was adjacent to the campus building we were headed to so no issues with parking. But even on the weekends it was $12! A lot! Also, the system did not read my ticket printed so I had to pay $24 to get out as they charge $24 for a lost ticket but the security help kept disconnecting the call so I had no choice. Staff - they had some CAU staff on site for the event but mostly event staff were present. Atmosphere - now the building itself definitely have HBCU vibes!! Loved everything about it! Nothing seemed dirty or too outdated. Everything worked in the bathrooms and the technology supplies were updated. I appreciated the school hosting the event and look forward to visiting for other events as well. Definitely recommend and look forward to returning. Thanks Brittney”

“Checked this place out while I was here dropping my child off for their first year of college. Very nice book and supple store on campus. Excellent selection of items and very nice atmosphere inside!”
“I would love to give this store 5 stars but one of the workers was very rude to me. I was visiting the campus and really loved the atmosphere and so I decided I couldn’t leave without a souvenir. I bought a pink Spelman sweatshirt and while I was still in line with two other people in front of me, the cashier who was an older gentleman yelled at me and told me I couldn’t pay for the sweatshirt upstairs and to go downstairs.I’m sorry I wasn’t aware, but there is a nicer way to inform someone of the rule. Luckily I received better service downstairs from the nice ladies, but I was slick about to put that sweatshirt back on the rack.”
“Excellent instructors, inspiring learning institution. Security needs huge improvement. Several students vehicles are broken into every school Year without much effort. On campus and in areas off school property where students walk a short distance to school living quarters.”
“I had my daughters book published through them and the service was amazing. She has since started on a second book that we are waiting to be published this winter.”
“Great place to buy university apparel. Has a good selection of clothing. Online store has a larger selection.
Good selection. Lots of special items online.”
“Truly great selection for a tiny airport bookstore! Beyond the usual bestsellers, they also have 3 shelves of fiction,and a shelf each of YA, science fiction/fantasy, classics and even anime/manga. An oasis among the newsstands”

“I had ordered a movie from them on Amazon (One I'd been looking for, for a few years, at a decent price) It took a little over a week to arrive and the case was slightly damage (I bought it used not new - some was expected) The movie played beautifully and my fond memories renewed. Thank you so much!!! I know I got an amazing deal!”
