I did a quick stop at this bookshop. It is so cute and cozy. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They also offer to notify you if a book is unavailable. They are more personable than the big brand book shops. Will come again.

Such a terrific independent bookstore! It's where we do all of our holiday and much of our birthday shopping. The staff are always very helpful and pleasant. And they very clearly love books.

I am an avid reader and truly love stepping into Kew and Willow Books whenever I get the chance. I discovered this lovely bookshop while walking home after work. The staff is exceptional and always give great recommendations. I can give the oddest description of the kind of book I want to read and they will pull a STACK of books off of their shelves of amazing recommendations. If there’s a book they don’t have they will order it for you. They also have the books covered in paper so you get a surprise book! Great events as well, both book and community related and for all ages. If you get the chance, most definitely recommend stopping by!

A wonderful space where they have so many books, community events, and just a warm atmosphere. I have asked them to order lots of books, as I often look for Spanish children's books, and they always come quickly and they communicate their availability. They also have some Spanish children's books in stock (but we bought those already!). Always so helpful with a recommendation. Support local bookstores!

Unequivocally delighted to dedicate the composition of my first review towards this captivating, compelling, and independently woman owned bookstore: endless laude is present.First, the lovely individuals, deemed as reputable managers, Holly and Vina, have truly provided me excellent customer service that shall fervently be relished.As an avid reader, I've inquired about book recommendations from Holly on several occasions, where, resultingly, she proceeds to ethusutically getting up from her seat under the intent of suggesting a read that is riveting, every single time. Holly exhibits sheer passion for literature, impressing me seamlessly with her personal expertise. On a present-day base, Holly has not disappointed me with her vast selection of preferences. With that being said, I've extensively been fortunate to receive open invitations about the profoundly dedicated events that are imminent to take place at this lovely setting, with Holly exuding a welcoming vibe.Vina's empthaty and profound dedication to ensuring im well acclimated is immensely appreciated. To note a particular instance, in the midst of a book launch: I garnered the privilege to receive from a call from Vina, imparting that signed copies are available, and that there will no issue or limitation in reserving it, until picked up. Exactly like Holly, I've exchanged pleasantries with Vina, as well, simply indulging in book intriguing conversations.To add on upon the stack of my praise, In customer service, it's simply the little aspects that matter, evidenced as an example by both: Holly and Vina asserting a friendly greeting every time you open that door. My gratuitde for the two respective and exuberant ladies disclosed is transcendent!The ambiance is clean, wholesome, and extremely appealing. Organized in specific genres, executing the cozy atmospherhic feeling with ease.Service like this is rare, where I am inclined to say that, as a man, it is a treat to see a woman business of this stature, propser, independenly, may I add again. This bookstore, within discovering it this year, has solidified itself as my favorite.If you love books, you must immerse yourself here. No regrets will surface.Thank you, Holly and Vina.

Cute indie bookstore in the heart of Kew Gardens. Every square inch is well thought out in order to maximize the space. There was a decent collection of books including new releases and contemporary fiction.

This is the best place to go get a good book, candles, tote bags, book club (yep you read correctly). Kids section is cute. It is what I remember bookstores were like. Great local authors' work and books on Queens available.My favorite self-care neighborhood woman owned small business bookstore.

I buy all my books from here! They are organized and kind and always have great recommendations. I also appreciate all of the good they do for our community, from school bookfairs to holding monthly book clubs and author signings. So happy we have such a great bookstore in our community.

It's a cute little local bookstore that's probably better suited to young readers, but the staff is friendly.

I love coming here with my partner, we always leave with a handful of books. Perfect store to browse, especially when it’s gloomy out. Love it here, the people are super kind and glad that’s it’s close by to us since many bookshops tend to be in the city or Brooklyn. Highly recommend :)

I’m happy to have this bookstore near by. It is small and in that space they’ve beautifully curated a great selection of the latest books published. They can also order anything for you that they don’t have. Cozy, charming, modern, lovely! The girls are super cool!

A wonderful neighborhood bookstore with mostly newer books! It's very organized and pleasant to browse through. Employees are always friendly, but not intrusive or pushy.. I like the gumball machine of prizes, and the free mystery ARC books for loyal customers
