“What a gem of a specialty store. Unique inventory (edgy & humorous too) nicely arranged, Sections by theme & occasion. I got gift ideas for people who weren't even on my list, so I'm heading back again today!!”
“Great bookstore with lots of variety in selection across all genres (including Romance!). Super cute inside and lots of other fun bookish items. I loved that they have a place for customers to leave book recommendations for others with a post-it not, so fun!”
“Great variety and huge selection of local authors! When traveling I make a point to stop at indie stores and purchase something I couldn’t easily get at my own local store. This was not a difficult mission today! Also the store pup was a happy surprise!”
“The most amazing store. I went in looking for parenting/baby books and found more than what I went in for. The prices are really nice, and The Greener Apple store in the front is amazing! As someone who tries to stay the vegan/natural route, there were so many options from snacks to eco friendly household products to beauty/self care items. The owner was so sweet too! Happy 15th anniversary!
(Also the little kitties in the store are a plus!)”
“I have had nothing less than an amazing EXPERIENCE each time I have visited MAMA BESSIE'S PLACE.
The staff is very professional, courteous, knowledgeable on there merchandise & some are even able to provide additional support in the form of recommendations on how to get the best use out of certain products.
I also admire the fact that there is always soft music playing in the background to help relax you as you shop. In addition MAMA BESSIE'S has established herself as a reputable dealer of metaphysical stones and items inside of the Charlotte, NC Area.
If a friend or family member were to ask me for recommendations, then I would highly recommend checking out MAMA BESSIE'S PLACE; even if you are just passing through it is worth a visit while in Charlotte, NC.”
“Really great place to wander. The maze like set up really takes advantage of the space. Prices are good. Love that there's a rewards program. My only qualm is that it was quite hot.”
“This place was awesome.. what a great idea . Was in the habitat store and must walk by this coffee shop a dozen times but aways in a hurry to stop in . Stop in for just a cup of coffee and muffin for lunch and was told of Julia adventure in life and her humanity to helping others .. my son and daughter law were both in the Peace Corp. In the mountains of Peru. But the real thing is the use books and prices a great deal by its self .. I'm in the process of cleaning our book case now and bringing them some books that they can use. I Promise to stop in more often in the future.”
“I popped in to change up my usual wfh routine. This place is so pleasant. The staff was friendly, my London Fog was delicious and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. I also love that the bookstore is a part of the space. The place is definitely a gem! ☺️”

“Definitely my inner child gets lost in the small isolates of this Christian bookstore. I also want to add that the owner will do everything possible to find a book that you are trying to look for if it is not in the store, I thank God for the privilege being able to find this type of business sense they are not that many Christian bookstores ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Definitely my inner child gets lost in the small aisles of this Christian bookstore. I also want to add that the owner will do everything possible to find a book that is of your choice if it is not in the place, I thank God for the privilege of still being able to find this type of business open since probably one day they will not more will be possible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This center has been a true place of warmth and welcoming to me. You don't have to have any experience in meditation or Buddhism to attend. This place is for anyone and everyone! The teachers are all wonderful and it has improved my life greatly from being patient and calm, to letting go of anger. Everyone should give it a try ???”
“Didn’t have the book I was looking for (but neither did any B&N within hundreds of miles). But, they did have a good selection of Lego, and I was able to find the Nintendo Entertainment System Lego that was out of stock online in store.”
“So excited for my daughter to start college at this University. The excitement was in the air all move in weekend. The school president was meeting and greeting students and making sure everything was OK”

“These guys are fantastic! My map came in the promised window and they provided consistent updates on delivery status. Most importantly though, the map itself is beautiful! I got the World Classic Wall Map and it is even better than I hoped it would be! It has really rounded out the décor in my office. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Fantastic shop. Thank you so much for getting the books to my mam for her birthday despite me ordering mid Easter weekend and the birthday being first work day back. Greatly appreciated!”
“Great University that truly empowers and believes in its students, faculty, and staff. Queens is a top notch institution dedicated to anti racism across its curriculum, administrative policies, and within all they do in service to the community. The campus is gorgeous and the people are warm and engaging—always willing to help! Cannot recommend Queens enough for prospective students, employees, or visitors to Charlotte”
“Nice, clean store with a great variety of books, helpful, friendly staff, and plenty of parking. Near many great restaurants too. Love stopping in to this Barnes & Noble after lunch or dinner at Cajun Yard Dog for a coffee and a book.”
“Been coming here since I was a child. I just feel now that the people working need to be more friendly. I'm just saying....it is the Adventist Book Center. Last couple of times I've gone in there I felt like I was an inconvenience.”
“Everything you need while attending CPCC this coming Fall 2022 semester can be found at the bookstore. Backpacks, writing material and writing utensils, books for each and every course offered, snacks, drinks, chargers, hot coffee... you name it.... I even bought my first laptop from here with my Pell Grant/financial aid money.”
“Edit: Amy and Ximena were also helpful recently and provided excellent care.
Jacob Bosham provided outstanding support and service. Upbeat demeanor and knowledge on questions asked. Checking out was not so painful with a happy attitude and smile!!”
“I don't like the return policy (a week after classes start) and the no weekend hours. But the process of returning my rented textbooks at the end of the month seemed ok. Unfortunately, I won't know if they were ok with the books because they don't check the condition right there in front of you nor provide any type of document noting return.”
“This is your one stop shop for natural remedies medicine you name it it's here and the management has always been better than hospitable to say the least and I have been sending family and friends here on a regular basis”
