“Such a perfect little book and unique wears store. Amazing candles, so many tarot/oracle options, all the cute stickers and so many titles I hadn’t seen. I grabbed a sea salt and orchid candle which is currently lit in my home and smells divine. Make sure you visit with some time to explore!”
“Interesting and unique independent book store that highlights writers!
Attended an event for Burden of Sparrows by Deb Payne - it was very interesting to hear her process if writing and self publishing!!”
“Give yourself plenty of time to peruse the vast collection of pre-enjoyed treasures. Pet the kitty, who will surely follow you curiously as you lose yourself among the many stories awaiting you. Love this place.”
“Listen man. The mall locations are ok. But this stand alone ONE… Is the best!
2 floors. Great selection of Manga and other books. Friendly staff. Plenty of toys and other non book items as well.. honestly I could spend a whole day in here. Definitely better at night it’s very nice.”
“Franlee is dynamite! This book store is amazing!!!!! I encourage you all to shop here often! Franlee is also a treasure trove of information not only about the amazing selection of used books she curates, but also about everything Rochester. Simply the absolute best used bookstore ever. All my love!!!!! <3”
“Loved it . I went to get a book by Jerry Eicher. The Amish school teacher. Not only did they not have that particular book, but they had no books by this author as well as none in this genre. The supervisor and I had a wonderful talk about the books, she was pleased to order the book for me, as well as adding a new genre to the library. She said she had never heard of these writings and was going to order the book for me post haste! ?. I was told I was getting homework and then I was given a printout of other Amish fiction authors and told to circle the ones that I wanted and they would be purchased to place into the library. That is great now I have something to look forward to during these cold fall and winter days. I'm glad I changed my mind and went to the small library as opposed to the larger library, now they'll have new books at this location, yay. ? Thank you Shameka!!!”
“Booksellers, like librarians, are committed to helping people find what they need. With the huge selection of a store like B&N, their knowledge and keen-eyed staff are most appreciated! More than once these fine folks have quickly found exactly the book I had spent ten minutes searching for pretty much right where I had been searching. When they can't find it, they'll order it, so I'm heading back today to get my next book.”
“I have never been on this campus before. I attended a event hosted by children's Institute. We watched a screening of Darrell Hammond's movie about his childhood trauma. Parking was good, and the seats were comfortable.”
“💀I don't leave a lot of reviews because I mostly forget to. But honestly, after reading one of the Fiction books they have here, I decided to. Boa has a nice selection of authors, I'll say. 🧐”
“If you love Eastman School of Music, this is the place to go and buy your school stuff. any small accessories to shirts/sweats, and text books. Located on the first floor of Sibley Music Library. (but do not go up the stairs to the library. Just go through the second door and turn left!) well, in this place, you can find pretty much everything you are looking for. And, for almost everything comes with a school logo that says "Eastman"!! You can either rent or purchase text books. So if you know that you won't keep the book, just rent it. sometimes that's the best way to go and not have your book shelf full of thick textbooks!! If you are feeling cold in the rochester weather, just go in and buy some Eastman blanket and sweats. After that, you are ready to survive the weather~! I think this store is essential to all Eastman school students and community.”

“So far the atmosphere is full of joy and curiosity. The new building makes you feel at home. Everyone is kind to each other. I have no cons but I'll update y'all if I come across some.”
“Good place to buy textbooks with a great selection of necessities and campus apparel.Cashiers were nice when I was checked out. Nearly everything is very expensive, far higher price than average for respective items.”
“I am giving 5/5 stars for the excellent customer service. I purchased a sweatshirt for my husband and I that says “Rochester” on it (which is very cute and very hard to find anywhere else for some reason) but his size was too small. We came back to Rochester where we live but I was concerned about how I would exchange it since I had to go through TSA to get to the store. I went on their website, submitted an inquiry with my receipt and was contacted by email and phone very quickly! The store manager called me and said it was no problem to make the exchange. Not only did he call but he met me at “Arrivals” so I didn’t have to come out of my car and park in the cell phone lot! It was concierge customer service that really put a smile on my face. It may seem simple but it impressed both me and my husband. Thanks so much for the great service! I would buy more sweaters if I had another plane to catch! 😆”
“Huge selection of books and I was able to find some hidden gems. The price is great, I only paid $1 per book. I have been there over 20 times. They buy my old books and I couldn't be happier.”
“Very friendly staff but not a whole lot of variety towards The University as souvenirs specially for proud parents of a first time students at The University of Roch.”
“Hipocampo Children’s Books is such a special shop. Even though I don’t have kids of my own, it’s always my go-to for baby shower gifts, birthdays, and “just because” surprises. Their selection is thoughtful, unique, progressive, and truly inclusive—I always leave knowing I’ve chosen something meaningful, not just cute. It’s the kind of place where you trust that whatever you pick will both delight a child and offer something to learn from. A wonderful resource for our community and such a joy to shop in.”
