“Wow, such a cute spot! This is the kind of bookstore people dream of opening. So warm, well decorated, cozy, and for a small space quite a few places to sit and read. I also thought it was really cool they have a program where you can bring in canned/ shelf-stable food goods in exchange for a book from their Rachel's Table shelf! I will definitely be back here, you are missing out if you don't visit!”

“Booklover's Gourmet is a fun and quirky place. Here's why: Books - There are new and used books, fiction and nonfiction, adult, young adult, and children. Gifts - A nice selection of greeting cards. Some are funny and others touching. A unique collection. Art - Every month there's a new exhibition from some local artist. Nice to view while you're browsing and you can usually purchase your favorites from the exhibit. Music - again, usually a local artist. The setting is intimate, like having someone playing music in your living room. While I haven't taken advantage of the following so I can't speak from experience, you can also find these at Booklover's Gourmet. Snacks - Coffee and various baked goodies seem to always be available. Just like a good bookstore should do. Events - There are writers groups that meet regularly. Also book signings happen occasionally. Bottom line: Booklover's Gourmet is a wonderful community resource that deserves your support.”
“Good assortment of WPI merch but be prepared to spend $70 for a sweatshirt. Check out more sizes and styles online if you don't find what you're looking for.”
“Love it , I like the fact that I can find my school books here and purchase necessary supplies all from funds on my one card. If you need an advance from your financial aid funds, the bursar's office will be happy to help you out with that. I needed a book that day, and it just so happened to have had just been returned. The guy went and grabbed it for me to purchase, as I'd rather purchase my books than rent them; this way I can always go back and do a quick self refresher course before I take the next pertinent class for which the previous was a prerequisite. The lady you order books though and the gentleman who checks them in and arranges them were especially helpful and delightful to interact with. Very happy I finally decided to use my University bookstore and become acquainted with it.”
“Although the selection is admittedly small, there’s a section for physical movies, and that’s more than most stores have nowadays. Amazing atmosphere. Basically grew up here—bought picture books as a kid, manga as a teen, and now criterion’s as an adult. I adore this spot & the ONLY thing I would change is a slightly bigger selection of movies.”
