“Terrific shop for all kinds of shelf-stable British foods, even some frozen. And teas and many other items from UK. PG Tips is there! Mincemeat! Folks are real nice.”
“Wonderfully charming bookstore right inside local coffeeshop. They have a great range of books and have a prominent display of topical and local reads. I also special order books all the time and they arrive in a couple days. Andy’s a great business owner, 1 million times more refreshing to deal with than Amazon.”
“Great independent book store that also has art and fun gift items. They pack a lot in this little store. Super friendly owners that have a wide variety of books that you won’t find elsewhere. . It’s worth stopping in.”
“We went there because we basically missed our train. We wanted to explore the area and stumbled upon this store. The owner David is such a nice person. He single handedly made our day. We chatted, got a book and he even gave both of us hand painted human body illustration of a book he was reassembling for free! Just so we will remember him! The next time I will go there only to meet him, he is such an amazing human being.”
“Bruised Apple is the best, has been for a long time; it’s simply unbeatable. They have everything from records to baubles to philosophical treatises to geographical landmarks - anything you can think of, they probably have, had, or could recommend something on the shelves. Quiet, respectful, reverent preservation of an indie bookstore.”
“Only NEW books just fyi. Was busy there on a snowy Sunday afternoon, little cramped. Very cute, but smelled of interesting substances… ?
Back half for children.”
“Great selection of religious books on the beautiful Holy Mountain. Everyone is very kind and helpful. The manager was especially kind and really helped me find what I was looking for :)”
“Lots of good condition used books by major contemporary authors, both hardback and soft, for ridiculously low prices. It's a steal! If you like to read, why aren't you here??”
“Visited this shop the weekend of my daughter's wedding, and I needed small gifts for the bride and groom (they wanted nothing large given the fact that were in the process of moving) and the employee (sorry I cannot remember your name), who was very intuitive and helpful, picked out the absolute perfect gifts that were meaningful, but not overwhelming. It's a great shop with unique items. The smallest gifts (and I am not talking diamonds) are often the most memorable. It's a year later....but THANK YOU.”
“The store is well-organized and fully stocked with enticing merchandise. There's a wonderful gift area near the entrance, with an interesting array of ephemera, greeting cards, and possibly the largest selection of bookmarks that I've seen anywhere. Ashley was particularly knowledgeable and helpful for locating the subjects I was interested in. Bright and a pleasure to work with! I look forward to the re-opening of the café this summer.”
