“Such a beautiful store and a lot of quality stuff you can’t find no where else anymore. Lady up front was super helpful and friendly and I ended up leaving by some nice outfits for my little 4 month baby boy. It’s always a great time shopping here on my trips to Albany NY”
“Finally checked out I Love Books after living in town for years and now I’m mad at myself for waiting so long.
What a nice little book and gift shop! The staff are super nice, they’re more than happy to order you a book if they don’t have it, and have tons of little gifts for any occasion. Their kid’s section is vast, so if you’re shopping for a little one this is a great place for it.
Glad I finally went in, and I’m glad to be supporting a local independent bookstore. Definitely recommend checking them out if you haven’t already!”
“Very lively place with cheery staff. Very good collection for Lego hobbyists. They also have Technic.
Cars to Castles to cute Keychains, Lego pens and many other varieties in super heroes, Star Wars, racers and whatnot.
The billing lady was quite humourous and the lady at the entrance was quite welcoming.”
“Absolutely LOVE this location. Staff is so pleasant. I leave smiling every time I go. It is clean and the product placement looks great. The cash wrap area is never a mess either. It’s really an awesome shopping experience. I greatly appreciate my interaction with the store manager last week. He may not have known but I was really struggling. Thank you.”

“I had such a great experience here!! I went in to get a Mother’s day gift for my mom, and the 2 girls who helped me, Hannah and Jenna, were extremely kind. I was greeted as soon as I came in, they helped me find what I needed, and were extremely patient when it came to recording my sound box (Had a bit of trouble with it🤣) They were wonderful, and so kind. I was so pleased with my stop in that I just had to make a review!! They made what would have been just a normal shopping experience into one of the most pleasant ones I’ve ever had!! And my bunny came out so cute ☺”
“Wide selection of ice cream. I only got cake. Nice vibe. It was cold and rainy when I went but the outside seating must be really nice in the summer. I will go back to try the ice cream next time I'm in town.”
“This is one of best five below shop I have ever shopped they have everything you need from kitchen to bathroom and bedroom to living room everything you’ll find in one shop especially and personally what I like is they have lots of toys and indoor or outdoor playing items or sports item you name it they have everything right here and price also very good and the people who work here they are very helpful very good in communication.
