We were passing through town and saw this little gem! Such a quaint, beautiful bookstore! So much variety. Great books, fun gifts, friendly staff, and hands down the best bathroom ever!

I remember visiting this store years ago and always had a lovely experience. There must be new owners, because today's experience was terrible.I felt unwelcome...so did my cousin. The 'greeting' was very dry and like what can I do to get you out of my store, instead of how can I help you.I wonder if any other blacks have had a good experience there? I am going to the other coffee shop in town and hope for a better experience.

The River Reader is my favorite bookstore. It's such a cozy place, and the people are lovely. It's the perfect place to snuggle up with a book. They have drinks too! I love the Italian sodas. They have something for everyone and a nice kids section, too. Also they do activities like story times with the kids.Overall a wonderful place to hang out, or just pop in.

Cozy place to find a book, have an Italian soda or a cappuccino. Pick up a book for yourself and a gift for a friend. Independent bookstores need our support and this one is a great place to hang out. Enjoy!

I love this bookstore. It's more than a bookstore, it's a getaway. It's a coffee shop and new ideas and time to spend savoring good ones. Best place to meet a friend, spend some quality time with your kid, or spend some quality time alone. Tuesday to Saturday.

Love this place so much. The people are lovely and it's the perfect place to hang out or bring your kids. There are delicious drinks (my favorite is the Italian soda) and they do a lot of events. There is something for everyone while also being cozy. I highly highly recommend coming here and supporting this small business.

One of my favorite bookstores. I always love to check out the gems of items they have for sale. Located on the beautiful Lexington MO square.

We were in town for a few hours and I had read reviews about River Reader. They don’t do it justice! What a fantastic jewel for Lexington! Very inviting atmosphere, wonderful selection of books and gifts, great coffee/tea menu, cozy little area for kids in the back… if I lived closer, I would be there every day. The owner was so engaging - she is very well connected in the community and knowledgeable. Highly, highly recommend!

An incredibly nice bookstore with a great selection, especially considering that it's located in such a small town! Great customer service, as well!
