“My friend and I shopped in both the bookstore and the accessories shop. The owners were so nice and helpful. We left with some great finds and will be back again! Highly recommend for everyone to check it out.”
“Went in looking for recommendations for something lighthearted and queer, and I chose the perfect spot! They were so sweet, and gave a ton of amazing recommendations with just enough to have me intrigued about every books shown. I'll certainly be back for more. It's so clear there is a passion and love for the goods being sold here, it has a bit of everything but that curated human touch sets it above and beyond. Love this place!”

“Powell’s City of Books in Portland is such an amazing place to visit. The place is huge, with so many sections to explore, and you can easily spend hours walking around and discovering something interesting. I loved how unique and historic it feels, with shelves full of new and used books, gifts, and little surprises everywhere. It’s definitely a must visit spot in Portland, especially for anyone who loves books, stories, or just exploring special places.”
“I appreciate the low pressure staff, you can go in and not talk to anyone if that's your wish. I love that they have places to sit and read, and there's a very decent selection of books for a small store!!”

“Went with a friend to find a book on beginner guitar playing. One of the staff spent the time with my friend to find a book to get him started. The book was a good pick. I was impressed with the friendly and patient service we got. Beyond that, this place has an excellent selection and very clean and inviting to visit.”
“What a gem! Stumbled upon this place while looking for another bookstore- wonderful, relaxing vibe. And I asked the person working for a couple of recs for a mystery, I bought them both, and enjoyed thoroughly. I can’t wait to go back! (The books, if you are interested, were The Roundhouse, and The Expendable Man) I can’t wait to go back!”
“Picked up some becky chambers and kafka. Owner was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and more than willing to help me find what I was looking for. The type of person you want to become friends with.”
“What a super cute store! I found some wild old pulp novels here, and the store just keeps going and going to get to the back rooms. Tons of children's books back there, manga, nonfiction, great stuff”
“Had a tarot card reading at Jan's and it was positive. I felt like it was what I needed to hear. Reader is there from 11 to 1 pm on Saturdays. Jan's also supports the community by showing other places of interest. Not an ordinary bookstore, great place to get books.”
“Great bookstore for all things sci fi and fantasy. If they don’t have something they will likely get it for you and always have great recommendations. Super friendly staff.”
“This gorgeous space on SW 9th is my new favorite bookshop! The selection is so well curated - it's both literary and accessible! The vibe is so welcoming and warm, and you can sit and read and slow down while you make your choices. I'm seriously in love with this place.”

“It's a beautiful extremely neatly organized and well maintained bookstore with a huge inventory. Huge points for their staff. I had no idea how to find the book I wanted and they knew the exact location, and promptly led me to it.”
“Wonderful store, the owners are so kind and helpful. I was really impressed with some of the books they’ve collected. Their $2 book cart was full of an awesome selection.”
“Very friendly staff. The store has a great collection of classics, science fiction, cookbooks, non-fiction, and more! 😍 I found it really cute that they bundle books and movies with candy and/or popcorn for movie nights. Highly recommend for book lovers to stop by; my husband and I look forward to visiting again.”
“This is a great store. For the last few years, we've been sending books to great nieces and nephews out of state. The staff at Annie Blooms have been wonderful helping us pick out books and better yet picking them out for us. The kids have loved them and equally as important, so have their parents.”
“Always a wonderful place to visit. I was disappointed to see they no longer had the Home/Garden store next door.
Selection was great.
Staff helped us out several times.”
“The perfect place to get lost in and spend time perusing stationary and manga. There is lots to see! Make sure to keep an eye on little ones as there are items everywhere. The manga section is extensive; the Japanese stationary is unique.”
“This is a great place if you are into anything occult, witchcraft, or esoteric related. The owner specializes in rare books but sells a wide variety of books still in print. Dark Star Magick also has classes on a variety of subjects in the field. It is worth an in person if you are in surroundings cities and of course you can order from the store online.”
“RUN, don’t walk, to the incredible cafe inside of Literary Arts! Every single item on the menu is delicious, and you can tell crafted with love. The drinks are inventive, the customer service is top notch, and you can’t beat the atmosphere. 10000/10 would recommend. Whether you’e visiting or a local, don’t sleep on this Portland hidden gem ?”
“Future Dreams is an excellent place to talk about the comic industry, because the owner has extensive knowledge about the history of the business and it's medium of characters.”
“Neat little independent book store. We were there for an event with Rowan Kingsbury on their back patio. It's very kid oriented and I appreciated that the staff struck up conversations with our kids about books.”
“Could a bookstore be any more like a bookstore?! This shelvy joint is charming and humble. Enjoying a latte while reading a new book is an enhanced experience in this bookstore. There’s a little stage for performances and an outdoor area that’s simple and cute. Thank you for existing.”
“I cannot say enough good things about this store. The clerks are helpful, knowledgeable and make you feel like you belong. I also love the events they do, it feels so cozy. The merch is also tops.”
“Such a peaceful place to shop for journals, crystals, tarot, books, clothing, incense, reusable mugs/ thermos, lovely jewelry and more! Local tarot readers, psychics, and healers are available to chat with. It's a beautiful ecclectic space that's perfect for calming the mind.”
“Such a lovely bookstore, I've found so many treasures in the random stacks on the floor! The staff is very knowledgeable and will go out of their way to track down anything you're looking for. If you need a book, and/or yarn, support a local business!”
“An impressive selection, with hard-to-find philosophical texts and translations on hand. The staff are friendly and quite knowledgeable. A surprising stock of graphic novels available too.”
“Such a cute store! I was surprised at how much versatile inventory they had. I ended up buying a body oil and candle for my partner. The associate was very helpful too!”
“This place is a hidden gem! I thought it was going to be small but they have multiple rooms. Lots of children's books, classics, educational materials, beautiful vintage books, history, and some Christian as well. The owner Eli is very nice and really knows his stuff! He was telling me about all sorts of vintage children's authors. Overall this is a great place to spend bookish time and keep your money local. Happy reading!”
“This is a great Christian(Latter-day Saints) bookstore. They have a great selective of fiction and non fiction books. Also have clothing and artwork options.
Everyone is friendly and smiley; couldn't be nicer.
One must end a trip here with a chocolate treat!”
