“BOOK SMELL
The kids area isn't quite what I was expecting, I remember it having more things to occupy the kids while parents roamed.
I won't comment on the books themselves, there's just such a wide variety and the vast amounts of them, it would take forever to make a comment on the quality without having my genre bias lol
The cafe is Starbucks, which is nice but there's another Starbucks just outside the store in the mall so I kind of wish there was something different for the cafe. That aside, it's a Starbucks, and Starbucks has decent consistency here in town, I've never had a bad experience at one.
One of my favorite things is eating a tuxedo mousse with their caramel cappuccino (or the new cherry chai! It was delicious!) and being able to smell all the books.
Only giving 4 stars, because it can be hard to find someone if you have questions, if the customer service desk is empty.”
“Kara and staff go over and beyond to serve your needs in finding material appropriate for our Catholic faith. I am grateful for the many years of helpful suggestions and meeting the needs of my requests !! My favorite Catholic bookstore ❤️”
“Such a nice layout! All of the displays and the way the books were presented were so visually pleasing! Made it so easy to find what I needed. Not to mention that all of the staff were very helpful and very present. There were four staff members that I could see at any given time. One woman in particular was super friendly. Spent time talking with my mom and recommending books for my baby. Such a nice woman, wish I had caught her name.”
“Sunbound is exactly what Fort Wayne needed! The vibes are immaculate, it’s easy to find anything you need, and if you can’t find it, they can order it! Love love love it here. Can’t wait to make shopping here a regular experience ?”
“I recently visited the CTSFW Bookstore, and I am beyond impressed with my experience! The store was impeccably clean and well-organized, which made browsing through their extensive collection a truly delightful experience. Their shelves were stocked with a great selection of books, covering every aspect of Lutheran theology you could think of, making it a one-stop shop for anyone interested in learning more about the faith.Not only were the theological resources impressive, but the CTSFW Bookstore also offered a wide array of unique gifts and stunning artwork. I found the perfect present for my pastor and picked up a beautiful piece of art for my own home as well. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions and help me find what I was looking for.In summary, the CTSFW Bookstore is a must-visit destination for anyone with an interest in Lutheran theology or looking for distinctive religious gifts and artwork. The cleanliness, vast selection, and warm customer service make it deserving of a 5-star rating. I will undoubtedly be returning in the future and highly recommend it to others!”
“This store has super cool vinyl records. Found some gems rarely seen at other record stores! Vintage Moody Blues with original 8 page insert; plenty of 80’s records. Sports books were in somewhat short supply. Study bibles in short supply. Good game section. No doubt will visit again next time in Ft Wayne.”
