Quail Ridge is always a stop for me when visiting Raleigh. The selection of books is great and I’ve had a lot of success in their sale section. I scored a $35 hardcover for under $10 this week. I was planning on buying it full price so it felt like karma finding it at such a discount. I also enjoyed picking out gifts in the children’s book section.

Such a sweet & cozy bookstore. We always heard about it from our friends, finally we come to visit. So much love put in this bookstore, very well organized and set up. I really love the tree ? in the kids area, brings a hint of fairytale magic to this place.

One of my favorite bookstores! Great staff recommendations (written and in person), great variety of books, fun vibe. We were recently there in late April as they were celebrating something-can't remember what- and there were sales and delicious goodies! Staff is very friendly and they'll wrap your book, too! Public restrooms are clean -always a plus!!

Lovely, lovely store. Took my daughter and grand kids here and stayed for over an hour. Such a delightful book store. Not many like this exist anymore. Super duper expensive, to be expected I guess. A fun little place to visit.

They had a wide variety of books and it reminded me of Barnes & Noble. The books were pricey, but the store was adorable.

Adorable bookstore! The children's section is a must-see! Good selections and attentive staff. I loved the "blind date with a book" idea, so clever!! Will be back!

As an author, I make a point to stop by a local bookshop or two whenever I travel. I chose Quail Ridge by the reviews, and I was not disappointed. When you walk in, the store takes your breath away with two floors of books and a hanging chandelier. In the children's section, they have a tree display so it feels like you are reading in a park. There are tons of cozy little nooks where you can sit down with a book, and in every section there are personalized staff recommendations. You can tell this is a store where the booksellers really love books and are happy to help you find your next favorite story. I honestly could have spent all day in here, but unfortunately we had a plane to catch. I will definitely come back, though!

This bookstore is amazing! The only thing that could make it better would be a tiny coffee shop with chairs so I could sit and immediately start reading the book I just purchased. But it's just great...service is attentive and they are very helpful with looking up books based on interest and genre. The store is fun and delightful!

Been buying books from Quail Ridge all my life. My mom use to bring me to their old location. The new space is very uplifting and classy. It’s cool enough to hang out casually and read, yet classy and beautiful for a special event or reading. With options for everyone I could easily lose a whole day in here. Thank God they don’t have a cafe I would never leave. I was offered gift wrapping! Moving forward everyone is getting gifted books since I can buy the gift and get it wrapped in one place yay! Can’t wait to visit again. High quality establishment. Wonderful and helpful staff.

What a neat store! Gorgeous. This is a true book store. Are you into signed first editions? They have those. Little nooks where you can sit and read. Honestly just a wonderful experience.

Lovely Independent books store! (with in walking distance from The Capital Grille if you want to go on a Book Lovers Date Night) At great location in town, two stories tall, awesome kids section and they host author events locally and have book clubs just ask the staff about them!

We went here on a book date and got to explore this wonderful place. We absolutely loved it! The mythology section was one of our favorites and the kid section is so great that I plan to bring my kiddo there next time. Definitely found several books to take home!

I was invited here for the conversation and book sighing for Nedra Glover Tawwab's book Drama Free. This was an enlightening experience, as Nedra is a licensed therapist. As an advocate of therapy and overall mental health the gems she shared were amazing. The most profound thing she said that resonated is, "we are in a Generation of being emotionally aware" this is so true and reflects the space I'm currently in. I enjoyed the topics of boundaries and changing the way we deal with inconsiderate people. I'm glad I attended this event. Overall, Quail book store is a lovely store with a huge selection of books. The seating for this event was extremely crowded. I think every type of book reader showed up. There was a diverse group of people who attended. I loved seeing this!My only suggestions is for future events like this when you ask for personal signing instructions (our names) at ticket purchase why not already have this information on the ticket we receive when we enter? That's my only suggestion. Across-the-board, great event.
