“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!”
“Julia's Cafe is great! I love being able to buy books for very reasonable prices. You can also get food and drinks. It is connected to the Habitat for Humanity store, so I try to go when they are both open. Lots of great volunteers help organize the books so it is easy to see what they have in the different sections. I buy a lot of kids books for $1 or $2. Julia's Cafe joined the Charlotte Book Crawl this year (2026).”
“Absolutely lovely store! They had a wonderful selection of a little bit of everything you need and the associate that checked me out was extremely nice. I will definitely be back!!”
“A very welcomed addition to east Charlotte. It’s like having a local living room to gather with like minded readers in a safe and quiet space. Indie bookstores are absolutely necessary for a community because of the impact they have. I very much enjoyed my visit here and look forward to returning soon!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!)”
“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.”
“They are always so welcoming. I don't buy many physical books anymore but I like supporting when they have events. Definitely black authors I try to come. Indie authors as well. I travel 40 mins just to support.”

“Great mediation center. Kadampa offers both easy access to modern meditation practices and real insight into the thousands year old religion and spiritual practice of Buddhism.
Really cool stuff. I recommend staying after class to share a home cooked meal with the monks and other temple goers. It's become a highlight of my week, I can always count on meeting new people and getting any questions I have answered.
Big shout out to the resident teacher Gen Norbu- very approachable and knowledgeable teacher. I'm very happy I found this gem in south end.”
“Wonderful relaxing place. I was able to get a lot of work done while enjoying the comfort of a leather chair. The cup of coffee I had was exceptional and the barista was friendly and helpful.I believe if I'm ever back on that side of town I will be revisiting wellinghall.”
“Good resource, I needed a Bible cover and they had several to pick from. Friendly and not pushy..
Come in from back/side entrance, through Child Development entrance, and across from cafe.”

“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!”
“I had to buy a notary book
They did not have it but they let me prepay for it and called me as soon as it arrived. The girl who rang me up was very kind. Hard to find but very nice”
“I love going to the Scholastic Book Fairs. This year, everything is BOGO!! EVERYTHING! I can find everything from baby books to adult bestsellers, even books in Spanish There are cookbooks, fun pencils and pens, bookmarks, posters, etc. There's even a special section of books where you pack as many as possible into the box for $28.95, and it's also BOGO. I typically get over 30 items in my box so it's well worth doing that if you find several books you like. Teachers, homeschoolers, school volunteers, and parents, you can't go wrong visiting the warehouse during one of these sites.”
“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”
“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!”
“Love this store! Staff is so helpful and friendly. Nothing compares to reading your favorite author, discovering a new one or finding a unique item inside the store.”
“Great selection of books, toys, puzzles, Legos, games and more! The cafe has great Starbucks drinks and baked goods. Love the warm cookies and the new horchata! But anything in the cafe and you can get a book they are promoting for just $5.00– what a great idea! 😎”

“I was thrilled to find the staples of my childhood. I was greeted when I came in. No issues with checkout as the cashier was friendly.
One star off because some of the books & materials are very dated. While I purchased a few pamphlets, many publications I bypassed just from how dated they were.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Every time I go there for a gift or something for me I find it pleasant to shop and the customer service is beyond excellent. The partner of the owner is the nicest person and always provides a great shopping experience.”
