“Such a gem in Kalamazoo! Our favorite local bookstore and their partnership with Factory Coffee makes it even better! Bookstore is great for adults and also has a thoughtful selection of cards, notebooks, games, puzzles and other gift items. Bookbug is such a fun stop with kids. Joanna and Derek are also lovely people that really care about this community.”
“What a hidden gem. The store has two buildings with multiple floors and rooms. There is truly something for everyone. I easily was able to pre-order a new release book. You can find both new and used books. Can’t wait to return to really dive into their collection. A magical place.”
“Great location, love the selection, and nice staff. We could have spent hours here. Only downside is the price and there isn't an educator discount program anymore.”
“I adore Gilbert & Ivy. Not only is the bookstore wonderful, but the events they host (and partner on!) are always top-notch. You can really feel their love for books and for the community. Such a vibrant, joyful place to shop! Highly recommend!”
