“Anywhere that has books is awesome but Porter Square Books goes above and beyond. I keep coming back time and again because of the people as well as the selection!”
“My absolute favorite place in Cambridge! Amazing selection in all departments, but my favorites are non-fiction, children's books (especially the staff picks -- I've discovered so many hidden gems thanks to them!), and the used book section in the basement (both the contents and the vibe). The staff members are amazingly helpful and knowledgeable, and they more than deserve a fair wage!”

“you would be hard pressed to find a shop with a better collection of american history books, let alone in the conditions and prices available, anywhere in the country.”
“A great bookstore, very large, well stocked and organized. Many historical and more recent books. I looked for a book by Dennis Lehane (the author of Mystic River, who is from Boston) but couldn't find it. Damage. But an address that I recommend for lovers of old paper.”
“The price is there to remind you that reading is a luxury that to many are without. But, when you have the $$, a great way to spend a lazy afternoon (stormy, super hot, etc...), with the kiddos, is for all to find a new book and to share a venti frap while reading to each other (and themselves). There are lots of ways to spruce it up (like, picking out each other's books or teaching each other something new).”
“Called this store to find a hard to find magazine and not only they had it but the agent whom I spoke was extremely kind and offered to hold it for me. I went there and found a top notch book store that includes an entire floor of used books. The staff was an absolute pleasure. I will certainly be back to this hidden jewel!”
“The book rack is a very special independent book store. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They sure pack a lot of new and used books into the space they have. Make sure to sign up for an account and trade in the books you've finished. Love this place.”
“Theys a zoo in there. Jam packed book store with tables intermingled. Tight tight tight space. The young lady we had was lovely but everything is ordered on an app..... it's so busy in there with book shoppers and diners. Very loud. Large portions slammed together quickly but very tasty. Probably flavour from the grill and pans. Coffee isn't great. If you are interested in good value not presentation and service then you will love it here.”
“If you love (board games / rpgs / fantasy / science fiction / CCGs) Pandemonium is your place. A well organized really well stocked store with tons of events to enjoy. Pandemonium is a hub to enjoy your hobbies with others and also buy hard to find treasures.”

“This store sells products and souvenirs with the theme of MIT, which is a research center of the highest level in the world, considered a leader in technology. They sell keychains, caps, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, gloves, USB drives, among a variety of products. the prices...just like the rest of the state of Massachusetts, they are high prices. The clothes are made in other countries such as the Republica del Salvador, China y otros, however they are of very good quality.”

“Their array and pricing has something for all. I always have to stop to look at the books outside and I love that inside people sit on the floor and look through books. The only thing missing is a cat that will sit in the sun and sometimes choose you to be the one to lay with as you browse.”

“They have an adorable children's section with great books. They have a "growing up" bookshelf with tons of useful books with sweet messages. Staff was very friendly but not overbearing.”

“Stopped in for a last minute birthday gift and the staff was super helpful recommending the perfect gift for a 4 year old! Great selection of toys and crafts with a book section as well. They also gift wrap!”
“I miss this place! I lived in Boston 13 years and used to walk to this place: it was my go to “treat yourself” shop. I have so many crystals from here and goddess statues. Some of the crystals are excellent and rare pieces at great prices. I’ve got three stunning opals I got from here. I loved going here. The cutest shop.”
“I loved the range and selection of books, both fiction and non-fiction. I would have gladly spent hours there but it was very crowded (went on a holiday weekend) and each of the top floors were crowded and tight.”

“The staff here are very nice and super helpful! I was looking for a air fryer cookbook for my roommate and two of the staff helped me search through their cooking section for it. When we couldn’t find it, they looked on the computer and even went to the back room to find a copy for me. 10/10 customer service :)”
“The workers here were so kind and helpful, they made fantastic book recommendations. It was clean, colorful and the music was so fun! Mason in particular was so lovely!”
“I LOVE that we have such bookstore in our town, it’s really amazing. When I couldn’t find my book in store you can always pay first and they will order for you , once your item been filled you will get notification to go pick it up, it’s super convenient. I highly recommend this bookstore. Such wonderful store”
“Wow what a special treat it was to stumble upon this book store! I’ve been to the OG Porter square and this was top notch to find in seaport. Such a lovely display, atmosphere, and overall vibes. I love the concept of this collab with Grub Street and the coffee shop! Definitely check it out and support a local book store thrive in Boston!”
“Wonderful wonderful. Rema is a gift herself as is the rest of the employees. They need to be commended for their outstanding and above and beyond enthusiasm and performances.”
“Beacon Hill Cafe is a charming little cafe underneath a charming little book store. The menu had a nice selection of brunch items. I had the mushroom soup and my friend had the squash salad with buratta. I splurged and got a popover with my soup. The popover was disappointing.. crusty and hard instead of light and buttery. The soup was tasty although very different from any other mushroom soup I've ever had. My friend reported that the squash (the centerpiece of her salad) was not good although the rest of it was. I guess there's no way to know if a particular squash is tasty or not from the kitchen. Our server was adorable and very attentive. I'm glad we were able to get a reservation and I might return but my overall feeling is that we paid a lot of money for atmosphere and not really noteworthy food.”
“I consider it one of the best bookstores in the region. It's worth visiting and before going down, stop at the cafe on the ground floor for a nice cappuccino.”
“It's a very beautiful and calming place , I remember going in there with my friend and getting to meet the cat and owner I was also very Honnored to get the opertunity to play the piano ❤️”
“I love coming to this place the music on it makes me feel warm. There are plants everywhere and they get the best iced hot chocolates. Me dad loves scones and they have a bunch here. They also have birthday cards that are so funny. And their shirts are out of this world. I highly recommend this store!!!!!!”
“Almost every year (sometimes twice a year), I take a trip to Boston, to spend a truly lovely day on Northeastern’s beautiful campus. A big part of this experience is going to the Northeastern University Bookstore!! I LOVE the Northeastern Bookstore!! It has a fantastic selection of apparel, stationery and, of course, many books. Lastly, Tim, the bookstore’s manager is without question, the finest scholar and gentleman. Customer service must be Tim’s first priority because every time I work with him, I have an Awesome experience!!”
“I wish they had a bigger religion section as it’s limited to one half of a wall. But other than that, great bookstore, friendly staff & cleanliness overall.”
“Not the place to go to find a specific book, but a lovely place to go to look for an interesting book. Many of their books are only for sale by collection; the ones for sale individually are fascinating, beautiful and affordable. When I was there, the front of the space was a photography exhibit which was also not to be missed. The employees are helpful, and it's a great place to relax and poke through books.”
“Don’t be fooled by the name fairy shop, it really has nothing to do with fairy’s but more Harry Potter! It’s a small store with lots of Harry Potter toys/games/posters/ and anything related to Harry Potter so if you are a Harry Potter fan this is a must stop on Newburry street!”

“I love this little bookshop and visit it often! Great selection of all kinds of books with fair prices, and you can sell used books here too. They have a great inventory of gifts and puzzles as well. The owners are really nice and knowledgeable, and they have a good rewards program. This has become my go-to shop for buying books!”
