“I and 2 of my friends stopped by this charming bookshop on a sunny day in mid February. (We were on a girls' trip.) This bookshop features an eclectic selection of books, including local history, fiction, and occult literature. After some browsing, I ended up buying a slim volume of Emily Dickinson's poetry. What made my experience at this bookshop stand out was my interaction with the bookseller, a welcoming and friendly man who threw in some extra stickers with my purchase. For a bookshop lover such as myself, this one did not disappoint...”
“Amazing selection and location! Would love to purchase a sticker or two for some friends that live out of town, but did not see any the last few times I was in. I'll ask as I'm checking out next time.”
“When anyone makes a visit to Community Bookstore on the historic Bayou Road will appreciate the majority of black owed businesses on one street.
A bookstore that serves as a cental gathering place for news, updates as new introductions are established, a place for running into familar faces, getting hugs and catching up with old friends and associates, not seen in ages. The vibe is anyone who stops by is considered part of the community.
An excellent location for scheduling upcoming small meetings, or events. Features black authors of children and adult books. As you weave through the aisles, you will notice artwork, head towards the back and there's incense, Shea butter, clothing and more!”
“I'm out in NOLA for a work trip and found this spot. It's cozy with a wide variety of books -I grabbed a Joe Hill, Palahniuk, and Lillian Smith in one run 😍. There's a kitty, the kitty is cute. The lady at the register was polite, the prices OK, and I'm looking forward to another run. I highly recommend that you check it out. There's another location as well in a different part of town, same owner.”
“This bookstore is charming but, despite staying in the French Quarter twice a year, I don’t think I can ever go back. I’d visited this store numerous times with my now husband and we easily spent over $1000 between those visits, and had really grown to enjoy the owner and thought she kind of recognized us when we’d come back. We got married in New Orleans and, on our wedding day, we wanted to take a picture in this store that meant a lot to us. She wouldn’t allow us to come in, which I acknowledge is a choice that she has every right to make. Nonetheless, the interaction was not warm, not understanding of the fact that we wanted to take the picture because we loved her store so much, and now I feel sad when I walk past the store that I used to look forward to visiting.”
“Beautiful bookstore with seating for you to read and rest :) lovely layout with a very adorable dog sleeping right at the entrance! Love the whole open layout, where sunlight streams through the ceiling, right in the heart of Garden District!”
“Jason was so great to speak with while we visited the bookstore a few days back during our recent visit to NOLA. He was helpful in finding me some treasures to read - new to me authors that I was interested in!”
“Great variety of souvenirs, plus Inciardi print machine!!! Came to hunt down some prints for a sibling collector, the New Orleans specific prints they offer are 10/10. Not to mention tons of local art to shop, apparel, and gifts.”
“This store is a wonderland. My young family member aptly compared it to The Library from The Last Airbender or the shops on Diagon Alley from Harry Potter. and Arcadian Books is just as magical as that fantastical location. Books stacked floor to ceiling on every wall, a labyrinth of different sections— The bookshop owner is intimately familiar with his inventory and able to point you in precisely the right direction for the perfect book. I walked out with a stunning vintage fantasy book (and it has an inscription, which is my favorite). The shop owner also kindly included two comics that my young family member had wanted, free of charge. This store will live rent-free in my mind as one of the most magical little shops I’ve ever had the pleasure of purchasing from.”
“Learned a lot with our volunteer tour guide. I'm a relative local but her info filled in a few gaps and reminded me of a but that I'd forgotten. Nice way to spend a couple hours.”
“Extensive selection of logo’d clothing. Almost overwhelming. Babies, kids, adults items. Nothing like the downstairs bookstore they had when I was a student. ?.”

600 Frenchmen St, New Orleans
Book Stores
“We stopped in one night after walking around Frenchmen Street for a bit. I was quite surprised to see negative reviews here- the owner and staff were all kind and accommodating. I asked the owner for his opinion on a book and he was happy to point me in the right direction, and even ordered the books I was looking for to be delivered to my home address as they weren't in stock at the moment. We love supporting local bookstores wherever we go. I have to assume that the negative reviews may be from folks who don't appreciate straightforwardness or sarcasm... we are from the Northeast so we appreciate both of those things and thought the sarcastic signs in the store were hilarious. I plan on calling to place another order when I am ready to buy a new New Orleans based book.”
“Finally stopped by after driving by so many times and seeing the sign and I am glad I did. Evidently, they are closing their doors soon to focus on a book-mobile type situation, which would be way cool. Anyways, the person working was friendly and very helpful. I look forward to seeing their book-mobile and supporting them in the future.”
“Definitely 💯 Super great it’s totally different from Walmart on behrman hwy & Rouse’s on bellchasse, it’s reall team members over there, & nobody judging nor profiling me like Walmart did & still does, #justiceforjuniouscoleman”
“For a community college, this is not only a big campus with equally impressive buildings, but the interiors have an old world feel to them that I just assumed you'd need to pay $50,000 a year in tuition to get. Ochsner is building an allied health school here at the moment.”
“My daughter is now a returning student at Dillard University. Her goal while looking for a university was to attend a HBCU and we both believe she made a great choice. After attending a college where the students were just another number. Granted the university need to continue to upgrade as for any business. When I arrive on campus to visit and inquire, the staff is always friendly that's my experience and the professor's care about our young adults. Keep teaching , caring and preparing our next generation!”
“This is an excellent school. It is #1 in putting Black students in Medical School for decades and continues to grow and serve so many. I am proud to see it today and to be an Alumni”
“(Translated by Google) Very Beautiful Bookstore. There are many books that you can have all the hours in the day to read all you want.(Original)Muita Bonita Livraria. Há muitos livros que possam ter tudas as horas no dia para ler tudo que quer.”

“I ordered a book online through Blue Cypress. They reached out to me to see if I was interested in waiting a little longer to get the book, as the author was going to be in town and could sign my copy. I would've been perfectly happy just to get the book, but now I get a signed copy! Really amazing customer service”
