“A small and favorite spot of our family. Great for graphic novels! So many inclusive works, and a lovely reading nook for kiddos to have a quiet spot before picking something to take home. They also offer subscription boxes for monthly comics, but no discount on purchases with those. Staff are friendly and helpful with recommendations! We also love the illustrations done of staff (and Nick drew them)!”
“This place is adorable. Stopped by today for the first time and will definitely be back. Got some unique washi tape and postcards I have never seen elsewhere. ??”
“Bulk Books is the best and we love working with Missy! We have purchased books from them the last few years and always appreciate the great customer service, care, and fast shipping they provide. We will be back!”
“Awesome place if you like books, they have so much stuff it’s crazy, I added a picture of a shelf that was a bunch of different versions of tokens books. Crazy place but awesome 10/10. Also, the better comic books are in the children’s area.”
“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!”
“Best bookstore in Portland! Fun and comfortable to wander around, and the book recommendations I received were spot-on.They also have stacks of books with similar themes, which is just a fun way to find something new.”
“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.”
“I used to go to Powell’s but I recently switched to Broadway books after hearing Anne Patchett rave about them :) They have a smaller collection and they’re a bit more expensive but I enjoy the experience more and the lovely employees are always up to chat about books. It’s a heavenly escape from the real world when I get to wander their books. They happily special order anything they don’t have in stock and I always see lots of regulars coming in for their orders. Today I overheard people chatting about the everybody reads book and I was happy to join the conversation. This is what I imagine a bookshop should be. Many thanks to Broadway 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.”
“Weird Sisters has become my “go to” for all things knitting. Responsive, caring, knowledgable, great stock on the shelves and good people. They know their stuff!
I have moved out of the area, so I now order from them online. Packages are well protected for shipping and items are popped into the post quickly.
This is a shop with a small town, welcoming feel. The best of Oregon, one might say. Such businesses are fewer and fewer these days, making me cherish them even more!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I was looking for an impossibly esoteric book (a specific Tibetan-English dictionary) and stumbled across it at Arches. Their price was less than HALF then nearest best price at you-know-where. So this is my new go-to, either in person online.”
“I am not a reader, but my kids are, so every time i go to Powells, i feel welcome, and it does interest me to read more and start to, but i am not pushing it yet. But it's getting better. The other reason i love Powells employee here are just really nice, and they do care about what you need and what you're looking for. I hope they can continue that genuine concern and care for all their customers. I highly recommend powells and don't be shy to bring your young ones.”
“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.”

“I really appreciate a local business who values all customers, new and old!!Nearly Read Books gives a fair price for used books that you sell and has a huge selection of paper backs neatly arranged,almost up to the ceiling!All kinds of books!!You get a credit towards your used books you buy, and you can get a 30% discount off new books...which the balance is paid in cash.The owner, Kelly, is warm and friendly!”
“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 ?”
“love this place. Just went in for the third time. They have really great editions of classic revolutionary pieces. Love their small cd collection as well -> just got a Joni Mitchell CD”
“I assume that I will love this place. Toth, the master, declares that the Age of Aquarius is upon us, and every man, woman, and indeed everyone else, we are all a STAR. THANK YOU.”
“When this place was open years ago, it was OK. Lotta books.But it's been closed for a minute at their original loction.Update: their new spot is beautiful. Obviously, lots of books but art too. Go visit”
“Loved it. As a English, German, French speaker, I appreciate that books in all languages are sorted into the shelves. I think there was good selection of Spanish and Italian and a smattering of other languages throughout. Powell's has its place, but there's nothing like a bookstore with the vibes of a great uncle's library, the one he's been assembling books since 1937.”
“Its the best used book store around the owners are the nicest people they have been around a while and know so much plus they give incredible value for used books so you can buy new ones with the store credit (and a very small fee for new purchases which is change ur paying for each book) i can't imagine Powells ever doing something so generous”
“This is such a fun store! The owners really have quite the collection on their hands. If you have an hour or so to spare you should pop in here sometime. You’ll definitely want to give yourself some time to really look around and explore. Tightly packed with stories and endless knowledge, you’ll find yourself getting lost in this tiny place.”
“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!”
“A delight. I trust the staff's recommendations; they’re so knowledgeable about the material, and it’s curated beautifully. Get a punch card: you’ll be coming back.”
“Oh my word. What an incredible spot. Specifically impressed with their selection of niche history and non-fiction, and their cookbooks are incredible. Niche stores with an incredibly friendly environment. Teagan deserves a special shoutout for being so kind and friendly. A must-stop shop!”
“Loved the decor, selection, and person behind the counter was very friendly. Their prices are full price- so you most likely will pay a little more than somewhere like Amazon- but support your local business & I consider it like a finders fee, they have such a curated collection that the books I buy I wouldn’t have known of otherwise. :)”
“I could be here all day every day, I fell like a kid in a candy store here! The great library, the books for sale, and the warm rabbi, make this place my third space.”
