“Super cute bookstore located in a vibrant district. The staff was friendly and helpful. I got swept away with reading all the staff reviewed books. Highly recommend spending a little time in this store and the surrounding neighborhood.”
“Great customer service! The shop is small but with a good selection, and of course any book is available online. They’re very courteous and helpful, and communication with the team either on the phone or through their messaging app is great. Love OTB!”
“Such a fun, cute little bookstore! We came to see Eric Adjepong and Korsha Wilson promote their book, Ghana to the World and had a blast (moderated by the always fun Carla Hall). A great place for foodies to stop and browse.”
“Another governance structure spot on Georgia Ave. Recently I went to purchase a couple of books from them when the author would be present for an event I was unable to attend. I was able to purchase the books and get them signed by that author! Great customer service and beautiful ambiance.”
“This is a really cute little used book store. It’s a bit small and hidden away, but in a well kept secret kinda way. They have all kinds of books from literature to kids books to cookbooks to scifi and even Manga, including some Like Chibi Vampire which i haven’t seen in years.
There was even an event of some kind going on when I went. If you’re into reading in any way come check out this store. You may find a book you have been looking for.”
“Our visit today to Al-Hikma book store proved to be an extremely enlightening and enriching experience. We delved into the vast ocean of knowledge, exploring a wide array of books from various countries and subjects. I had the privilege of engaging in a conversation with the esteemed owner, Mr. Alsadawy, who graciously offered his invaluable assistance. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment, particularly to our younger generation, as it provides an exceptional opportunity for intellectual growth and exploration.”
“This is my favorite third space. More than a bookstore, this is a hub for people to meet and engage in dialogue. There's always really great book talks and speakers, and I'm always happy to support them with my patronage.”
“great bookstore, lots of options and space is great. there is a coffee and bar area. tables to do some work if needed. staff was great and helpful. its in H street so parking can be challenging but worth a visit! check em out!”
“I found this bookstore via their website. They are one of the few independent bookstores that actually allows you to order directly from them on their website (others redirect you to a book warehouse website that shares profits with the bookstore you shop at but takes some too).They only had one of three books I was looking for in stock, but allowed me to order the others. The books only took 2-3 days to all come in and I received notifications via my preferred contact option. It was so convenient and seamless!I went to the store on a Sunday to pick the books up. I was greeted immediately by a member of their team. She had my books ready and waiting. We talked about one of the books and others … which prompted my sister to start browsing and she found three books for herself ?. This is a lovely bookstore with a good selection, friendly staff, and was a great experience online and in store. I will be coming back for my future book needs!”
“Wow! What a great selection! A great spot for uncommon books (especially music, philosophy, literature, poetry,) many from smaller publishers. I would guess that anyone could find something of interest. Great atmosphere and music too.”
“The cutest little bookstore in downtown Alexandria. They have lots of books for kids, adults, and everything in between. They even have a small cozy reading section. The staff are friendly and provide any help needed, even ordering books if needed. The prices are very comparable to your big box stores, but going to a mom and pop place.”
“I usually don't leave reviews of places I visit, but I have to sing praises of this bookshop. They have some of the best book clubs in the district and sell myriad books that you cannot find at other bookstores or Walmart or wherever. A true DC gem. I just knocked off one star because they forgot about a book I preordered until I reminded them twice about it. Better to just shop in-store.”
“An excellent brunch with friends! This spot is a little noisy, but we ate our fill and got our caffeine and then we're set loose into a bookstore. All in all a good day!”
“Charming little store! The owner was awesome! Was just taking pictures to show my wife and ended up buying her 3 books! Apparently she will be giving me a list everytime I visit the DC area.”
“Great independent bookstore with an awesome selection of books (and a back room full of kids books, too)! Staff is always friendly and helpful with recs and staff picks. Cute selection of gifts and cards at the front. Our favorite bookstore in DC!!”
“Bought some sandals at the Nordstrom in Tyson’s corner yesterday. The salesman Norvelle told me what he was wearing because I said he smelled amazing. Told me about this place and went immediately after! I only wished I lived in the area and not in another state! This place is theee bomb!!”

“This store is really very small but they do have a delightfully diverse stock of books — not every shelf is full, though. They have good public events, but the chairs they use for the public events are, bar none, the most uncomfortable chairs I've ever sat in. Get more books and better chairs!!!”
“As I was "Window Shopping" in Old Town Alexandria, I saw this book in the window ...Surviving Depression & thought maybe that book could help me get through the depression I'm having after loosing my son to suicide.After talking with Sister Cynthia, she pointed out the other 2 books & donated the Psalms Bible to me, she also stated there was a chapel upstairs if I needed some alone time (I did go up there & it was very peaceful & it's exactly what I needed .. some alone time with God). ❤️I'm not Catholic but I am a Christian, I absolutely loved this bookstore and the people who worked there, I will be back! Thank you so much for listening to me & letting me shed some tears, about my son Zachary, with you. ?God Bless you, Sister Cynthia ❤️?”
“Nice cozy cafe and bookstore. Can't speak on the drinks but the muffins were too buttery for me, and seems like they used a gluten alternative which I personally don't like.”
“Review based solely on my online orders. I’ve purchased Al’Ard olive oil and a kuffiyeh. Shipping & delivery on the olive oil took a little long and it was routed incorrectly, but that isn’t on the store, but USPS. The keffiyeh was shipped & delivered so quickly after my purchase. The quality is beautiful. Will definitely check out their brick & mortar store, but I highly recommend their online store as well.”
“This is a really cool local bookstore that carries a wide variety of options. The staff were nice as well. I do wish they had wifi to connect to because I was trying to access my lists on Goodreads to narrow down my selection before purchasing.”
“I love the Barnes & Noble bookstore. The young staffers were helpful, and the size of the store provides space for a wide variety of licensed merchandise. I would have appreciated more items branded with Howard University instead of Howard Bison. That's a personal preference. I'm sure they carry what the majority of their shoppers prefer.”
“Very happy to have a bookstore in Brookland! I’m looking forward to seeing them expand their selection. The upcoming events seem interesting! Welcome to the neighborhood!”
“BOMB bookstore, with an incredible array of Black authors in poetry, history, fiction, kids books, and way more, including gifts (mugs, tshirts, magnets).Very well curated selection with something for everyone. Love supporting a local business and highly recommend to anyone in the Anacostia area.”
“Solid State's second location, this one along 14th Street NW is big with every section of books imaginable, including a large kids section in a he back. They also sell local gifts.”
“Big selection and variety of item such as crystals, statues, incense, candles, herbs, etc. The customer service is also really great. Highly recommend checking out”
“Located steps below the Washington Monument, on the National Mall. Large selection of books on the first U.S. President and souvenir shop. You will also find public restrooms at this location.”
“Great range of items here to suit many pockets!! Whether your an alumni, student, parent or just an AU fan, definitely will pick up something. Staff are super helpful and if its not in stock, you can order online, get it shipped or collect.”

“Somehow books got ordered without my knowledge and I requested a refund. I was able to make contact with the customer service department to get a refund. Thank you!”
