“There’s always so many books I want to buy here but can’t afford. I do always buy my bullet journals here. They have a wide variety of books and the people who work there usually leave you alone to browse, which I enjoy.”
“WOW. I love this bookstore! The employees were so sweet and polite. They have a great selection with plenty of inclusive titles (queer, trans, people of color, fat, etc). Amazing to see such an inclusive and welcoming space.”

“It is always a joy to go to the Vespiary. The selection of books is great. Audra will point you towards one that suits you. She has read them all! Well, nearly every one. Audra restored a family bible for me and has created beautiful archival storage boxes for precious family books that could not be restored. And the teeny, tiny books she crafts by hand are simply beautiful.”
“I absolutely loved the Loose Moose. It is a vintage book, clothing, and ect store. Heavy on the ect. It was clean, friendly, and well stocked! There wasn't a corner that did not possess a tchotchke. And I say that with affection. Come check it out if you are in Downtown Missoula, it is a treasure.”
“First time visiting Fun Trade. Cool store with lots to look at. Reminds me of the feeling of walking into a Spencer's long ago, but Spencer's seems to have changed their focus to t-shirts and sex toys. Nate was cool and willing to chat it up. He mentioned they'll be moving into a bigger space soon; they need it! Bought Garage Days and 5FDP records. Cheers!”
“i meant to write this months ago. i do not like or support starbucks much at all both for the coffee being overpriced considering taste and ingredients, and for past company controversy. however i am an absolute sucker for the occasional iced brown sugar shaken espresso.
and thank god i am because bridget in the cafe here makes the BEST iced brown sugar shaken espresso i have ever had and ive gone to many locations across many different states...i will not order one at any other starbucks location anymore and i will also not order one if she is not there, she's THAT GOOD and also extremely sweet! highly recommend visiting for her god tier barista skills :)”
“Imagine the bookstore at your university, or the last one you visited. Now change all the colors to Maroon, Pewter, White, and Black. That’s pretty much this bookstore. It gets less than five stars because there’s nothing unique about it. It does better than average because it’s the Griz. Also the computer sales section was very approachable. Some college bookstores lock up the floor model computers as if they’re worth stealing. Here, things were tastefully secured, but weren’t ridiculously bolted down.”
“I love this store; it has such a variety of used and new books at reasonable prices. There is always something available in the genre you may be looking for. Keep in mind that this is a mostly used bookstore so the author/book you are seeking may not be here, but in my experience if you wait long enough it will become available.Before podcasts and satellite radio I would purchase used audio books from them and was never disappointed!”
