Simon's Winthrop Bookstore is a very beautiful, calming, and welcoming place that warms your heart. It offers a sweet, friendly atmosphere and amazing experience. The huge selection of books, new and old, has something for everyone, though the somewhat jumbled organization adds to a "browsy" vibe. Visitors are offered fresh coffee, sweet conversation, and a chance to sit and read. Many note meeting the cat and the kind owner, who provides generous gestures. Be warned you’ll just keep picking up more books to take home. It is the cutest and most welcoming bookstore.
Incredible collection of new and old books to get lost in. What a joy of a place - come and support it!
