“Great bookstore ! Clean and organized with very helpful people working there ! Loved the cafe area teas ! Blueberry green tea ! Never had it before ! Delicious! Had a blueberry muffin as well ! Selection and variety of books is large!”
“Finding a good bookstore is a challenge these days but luckily Barnes and Noble keep the tradition alive with their Broomall location. The number one best thing about this store is their top notch customer service. Several staff are available to answer questions and make recommendations. Large selection of books, magazines, games, cards and more.”
“Great place to shop! Staff is very helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable and there's a large selection of books, cards, etc. I've gone back again and again.”
“Love book stores. Small store. Not a lot to choose from. Limited inventory. They didn't give me a bag for my phone. Just practically throws it at me. Just because I didn't spend a lot I didn't deserve a bag.”
“Support your independently owned children's book store! Books range from infancy to young adults. The owner clearly loves what she does and brings in events/authors for all to enjoy.”
“My wife needed her fall semester books, the staff are helpful. Everything is easy to find and check-out is simple. As an Alumni of Delaware County Community College I highly recommend both the College and the bookstore.”
“A nice little shop and cafe to visit while at Valley Forge or visiting Washington Memorial Chapel. The store has a variety of gift items, including several that fit a homemade aesthetic. The cafe has sandwiches, snacks, and sweet treats to enjoy, as well as hot and cold beverages.Parking is available at the Washington Chapel lot, and there is a bicycle rack near the store entrance. The area seems safe; we didn't lock our bikes while in the store and left our helmets on our bikes.”

“I really appreciate this gem in Bryn Mawr. It has a good collection of a variety of genres. I always make it a point to come here when I drive by for work!The staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and kind.”
“Great little bookstore with a good selection and an amazing staff. I always get the best recommendations and they can order anything they don't have in stock. I don't get my books anywhere else!”
“I love visiting this campus (I have been several times as a speaker). The amenties are excellent and their buildings are accessible. the students are great and very locked in every time I attend.”
“I love this bookshop! it’s a cute and cozy place…and i’ve been making it a point to support local businesses and not relying on amazon before they run out all local bookstores and drive their book prices up. If they don’t have the book you need then you can ask them to order it for you!”
“I absolutely adore this store and have been a frequent shopper since we moved to the area last year. The staff are AMAZING! They are so sweet and accommodating and hugely helpful when finding books or toys. I buys all of my kids toys here and they LOVE this store. The selection is incredible and perfectly curated to have wonderful options for everyone (especially diverse selection of POC authors!). The owner is fantastic and has saved us TWICE when my son left his lovey in her store. She knows my name and is so kind every time we go. Honestly nothing beats supporting this incredible local business. This sweet women even put his lovey in a bag with my name on it when she found it because she recognize that it was my sons. 100 stars ?”
“Excellent shop that packs a lot of goodies into a perfect little store. Plenty of convenience items like laundry soap, snacks, books, art supplies, notebooks, Swarthmore swag and more. Helpful staff, clean and tidy. A very pleasant shopping experience.”
“Really nice bookstore but aside from a couple on sale items, the prices were crazy high. My son is going to another university and there was no comparison. Staff are great. It's right next to a Univ. Starbucks.”
“Fantastic place to visit. The staff at the visitor center was very helpful. Answered any and all questions on the park as well as Philadelphia in general. Very worth while to relax and take the trolley tour.”
“Not only a great college bookstore, but a great independent bookstore period - it even has a curated "new release" section. A wonderful selection of (mostly) fair-trade gifts, and a superb array of cards/stationery, too!”
“Love this campus and community! Caring faculty and staff plus passionate students. People want to make a difference in the world around them. Campus is beautiful in the Fall and Spring.”
“Lovely space. Great collection of books. Lots of authors come and speak, and the one I heard a night ago, Paul Halpern, was phenomenal. Thank you thank you for a surviving bookstore!!”
