“Very nice store. I was unable to locate a book that was supposedly available, a staff member assisted me in looking for the book. When she looked on the computer that it was listed as available she ordered the book and it arrived early and in good condition.”

“Yesterday my grandson, husband and I scheduled a tour at the Paranormal Museum. We arrived at our appointed time and were immediately welcomed inside by our tour guide, R.J.
First, we were asked about our interest in coming. My grandson is an artist and is working on a comic book about the Jersey Devil. R. J. said he would share a lot of information about cryptids and the Jersey Devil in particular.
R.J. Is very knowledgeable about the different artifacts inside the building. My grandson found the Jersey Devil information and artifacts both interesting and helpful for his research. My husband, an avid record collector, found the story about the phonograph intriguing. I found the stories about the women in white most interesting.
At the end of our tour R.J. took time to look at my grandson’s sketches and helped him find a book from their collection.
We found the tour to be well worth the cost and R.J. to be an excellent storyteller about the supernatural.”
“Love coming for storytime with my kids, most of the staff is so nice and understanding when it comes to all the small children. Unfortunately the woman who reads the stories is rather rude and has very little patience when it comes to the kids making it less enjoyable for them.”
“Super cute local book store with many options. One of my favorite things at a book store is when they do “Blind Date With A Book”. This store does that! Also has some items other than books. Has a back reading area i assume is for children. Super cute. They sell used books. You can donate books too but they aren’t accepting any as of this post”

“Wonderful book shop! Staff were wonderful with really great recommendations. Very wide selection of titles in all different genres. Lots of bookish gift selections too, including pins, bags, wallets, puzzles, and more. Honestly, it’s good I live so far from this store, otherwise I would spend all my money here!”
“Was nice. Went for a graduation. Only issue. Whomever is the person that videos for the tv above should concentrate when giving diplomas on each student and not zoom out so parent ot friend cant see. All the students are the ones that worked hard and deserve to be seen”
“This place was so clean and everybody was so friendly. I called to see if they had a book and the lady asked if I would like to place it on hold for walk in and out, and I was very satisfied.”
“I have been going to Ocean Grove for vacation for several years now. I make it a point to visit the Comfort Zone on every trip. I love there selection of children's books and toys. I recently asked about a book I was looking for about the shark attacks on the Jersey Shore back in 1916. The owner of the store knew exactly what I was looking for but it was out of stock. He got on the phone and ordered for me. When it came in he called and sent to me. There items and products for every thing imaginable. I will be stopping by next year for sure. Marty H.

“If you are looking for a local independent bookstore, this is your place! The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about books and different genres. She goes above and beyond to help me each time choose a new book to read. Also, if the book isn’t in stock, she is quick to order. The new locations and additions to the shop make it even better than before! Also, lots of great events like author and book signings. This is a go to during your visit to Spring Lake”
