“Our Men-Who-Read Book Club had our monthly meetup here at Eat My Words book store. It's a charming used book store nestled in Northeast Minneapolis. A big selection of literature and history. As well as a nice selection of YA fiction and even cards by local artists. Certainly worth stopping in and browsing for fellow book lovers.”

“I could spend DAYS here! So many good books, so much variety. They seem to have trending books as well as old classics. I always enjoy my visits here. The website is also a helpful place to find information about specific books before visiting the store. But you can rest assured you will likely find something just as good if not better if you stop by in person.”

“Dawn was awesome and super helpful (thanks for understanding when I explained my situation with having my two dogs with me!), as I had at least a dozen questions during my visit—from “Do you have any statues of Hermes?” to “What can you tell me about this rare book?”, and although my visit was interrupted by an awkward and tense exchange with their reactive herbalist (who has a dog allergy, apparently), I still enjoyed my experience and I hope to visit again to meet their founder some day. As someone who has lived with “invisible disability” for more than half my life, I’m happy to announce that I’ve gotten better at standing up for my rights instead of letting the triggers of others ruin my day. If this weren’t the case, I would have walked out after the exchange with the herbalist and not spent almost $700, yep—mostly on rare books!.Please have your employees read the Americans with Disabilities section on service animals. There is so much misinformation out there regarding what qualifies as a service animal, and unfortunately, their herbalist seems to think that the only type of service animal that exists are PHYSICAL SEEING-EYE DOGS. This is a harmful myth. And I’m not even talking about Emotional Support Animals (which are NOT service animals).PRO-TIP: There are TWO QUESTIONS YOU CAN LEGALLY ASK A DISABLED PERSON TO DISCERN IF THEY HAVE A LAWFUL SERVICE ANIMAL. 1.) Does this animal provide a service to you as a disabled person? 2.) What is the service they provide?So, I might not “look disabled” but if you had digital x-ray vision, AND understood the mechanics of the cytochrome P450 pathway AND the destabilization of fascicle nanotubes, you might “get it.” ;)Technically, there are multiple categories of service animals, one category being MEDICAL. These are animals, typically dogs, that can communicate to their handler when the handler is experiencing a medical emergency. This is what my dogs are trained for.I tried explaining this and the herbalist actually tried to argue with me. LADY. If you can’t handle your own emotional triggers working in a public-facing place, maybe it’s time to take a vacation. I’m sure your allergies are awful, but not being able to listen to what someone is saying in a diplomatic way is a surefire sign that you are actually the problem in the equation, not the environment. =)My one dog with fur is about the size of an 8-month old baby. He’s old and rides in the top bunk of a stroller. The other dog is also tiny, and has hair, not fur. She rides in the bottom bunk. We use a stroller because Mom is a ninja-cripple and we are all safer using a stroller for many reasons. The dogs get to walk on leashes when we’re at a park, and they never go off leash anywhere.p.s. There is no such thing has service animal registration, that is also a harmful myth. Service animals are for disabled people, and you can train them yourself. There are helpful books on how to train your own service dog. It’s lawful, legal, supported by the federal government’s Americans with Disabilites Act. Know your rights and seize them. We deserve to live freely. Carpe Diem!p.p.s. I don’t need a response to this review, especially if there isn’t some accountability to the unprofessionalism I encountered. Just do better. Thanks, on behalf of the chronically-ill and disabled community.p.p.p.s. Thanks for being awesome, Dawn!”

“Have been twice so far. Got to hear a new release reading and signing with the author. Parking is pay in the area but plenty available on non-sports days. Patrick was a kind host, clearly passionate about making this a lively little escape for book casuals and avid readers.”

“A dream of a local independent bookstore…cozy and inviting. The curation and fun and clever book/section descriptions make it great fun to shop…it’s an experience as much as a store! But if you can’t make it in-person, sure to shop them online…support this Minneapolis treasure!”

“I found this place by chance the night before, when I was looking for coffee shops in the area. This is a pretty small space, but very warm and inviting. These folks are still practicing covid safety protocols which is extremely reassuring, and they have an expansive selection of leftist political books, various categories ranging from theory and history to cooking and mental wellness. They even have children's and young adult books! There's something in here for everyone, and I'm really glad I visited. Will definitely be back whenever I find myself in the area again!”

“Loved looking through all the books, tons I’ve never heard of. Friendly staff but they still make you wear a mask upon entry. Excited to read this book I got about the toxic dyes we have in our clothes. Cute figurines and bags too!”

“Really cool book shop with fantastic folx working there and very keen to help. I felt welcomed and valued, but also cool to hang out and read in their lounge area. Bought a book recommended by a fellow tutor employee, and loved the tin ceiling atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“The staff here is amazing. My husband and I splurge on a new book every Christmas for ourselves, and we take turns looking while the other watches our kids. The staff made sure we were okay and made us feel comfortable hanging out in the children's section while the other shopped. They definitely made us feel welcomed. Can't wait to go back.”

“Dont let this unassuming store front fool you. This is one of the best comic book stores I have been to. There are literally 1000's of comics. Not only are there comics but shelves of other cool books, too. Check it out. You'll be glad you did!”

“They were so helpful! I let them know what I was looking for and they made a tea specifically for my concerns ❤️ Reasonable prices and everything you could want for natural, holistic, and spiritual health. There is a back room that's easy to miss.”

“I went into the store looking for paranormal and sci-fi romance and the staff members helped me find several authors that fit the bill. It felt like a treasure hunt in there. I loved the selection of Buffy and Angel books. And the shop dogs were so friendly.”

“What a warm and inviting place to spend some time. Grab some coffee. Browse some books. Head upstairs to the outdoors patio and relax and enjoy. Great space. Great books. Outstanding coffee.”

4.8 Superb13 Reviews

“I didn't think I would find what I was looking for and I was only half right. I found about 12 books I wasn't initially looking for, but couldn't leave behind. The only problem with that? I live in Phoenix and had to make room in my luggage, at Christmas ? Great staff and even the other customers were helping me look. ?”

“Was looking for some old decorative books to use on a bookshelf and this place absolutely did not let me down. The owner was extremely knowledgeable of absolutely every book I asked her about, and we spent almost two hours browsing the incredible (albeit quite messy) collection of books ranging from $10 to upwards of $1000. Also available was a huge collection of maps and prints which we didn't even have time to explore. This was a fantastic experience and I will definitely be going back.”

“Great for literature and staff picks, but wouldn't go there for economics, tech, sociology. Need to convert the logo sweatshirt store next door into a connected cafe.”

“My experience here was similar to those of others- the staff provided me with the guidance and the tools needed to complete my project (repairing a number of leather belts), and ended up saving me money compared to buying things online because I only purchased what I needed. I would recommend them and will shop here again when I need leather-related supplies.”

“Such good prices. I got a book for 1/3 of the price that I would have paid at other bookstores and two seasons of a favorite show for $3/each!! Fantastic selection. Very friendly staff.”

4.2 Good47 Reviews

“Jim has been a good friend for more than 20 years and I often go just to visitBut it must be remembered that he is an expert in antiquarian books in general and has a very good selection of books, vinyl and maps and prints to choose from. Plus he can find just about anything he doesn't have in the store. He is a nationally known expert in the field and I couldn't be more positive in recommending Jim and the store to anyone looking for a specific book or record. It is a dynamite store!”

4.2 Good45 Reviews

“Every experience has been positive! Staff are quick to respond to online orders and are more than willing to help with any issues with orders! The only “downside” is that (not at their fault) because of the nature of the store being both in person and online, sometimes the stock availability changes after an online order is placed. Again however, staff are more than willing to help you find a new size or item. I would recommend them to any and all St. Kate’s alumna and family!”
