Absolutely LOVE this little bookshop. It's so beautiful and colorful and warm inside. And Black-owned. They have an awesome selection of books by Black, BIPOC, and non-Black writers. Books on food, novels, memoirs and much more! They have a swanky used book section too downstairs. I also really appreciate how they tie up your books with a bow, like a gift. It feels special. It is special. Keep this energy.

This place will make you want to spend thousands. Their selection of books are diverse and enlightening. A beautiful display & design of monochrome walls and shelving with towers of books perched precariously here & there. Ugh. I went in and spent an hour just reading book covers. Love this place. Will def be spending a majority of my paycheck here. If you're on the fence about stopping in, even if they don't have what you're looking for, get off the fence & stop in for more. More of a diverse selection than you could imagine

Would have loved to visit this. Went almost an hour after listed opening time and it was still closed. Disappointed. Apple Maps and bookstore website say this is open everyday while yelp says it's closed three days a week. This is confusing.

I never have a bad or even average experience in Harriet's. The customer service is always warm and attentive. The store ambiance is inviting and curated in a way that makes me want to browse awhile. I appreciate the book selection and I love to sit on the back patio and read.

I love Harriett's Bookshop. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. The smell, the owner everything is very welcoming.... I love the concept. I also like Ida's in NJ . I will be going back.

Harriet's Bookshop is cute. The upstairs decorations look like storybook drawings and downstairs is darker with neon lighting. I love that the store features books by Black authors and about Black experiences. If you are looking to purchase books by Black authors you should suit their store or order from their website. Overall, great store.

A fun and cozy bookshop with fantastic book options supporting authors of color! As an educator, I have to specifically point out the lovely children's book section that I know I will return to. The downstairs area is a vibe so don't forget to check it out. Also, a special thank you to Harriet's for organizing the Sisterhood Trolley tour. My group had an amazing time!

I enjoyed the space and the collection of books!! I visited from ATL on 2/5/23 and only had a few hours in Philly. I forget the name of the bookkeeper on staff that day, his vibe was great. Harriet’s was the highlight of my day. Picked up a book from my wishlist and a vintage gem. I can tell this place is a labor of love and deep intention. I’m so happy it exists in the world.
