“Had an excellent experience. My girlfriend and I came here to browse the books and get some small plates to share. The atmosphere is fantastic and you can browse the shelves forever. The food we had was great and the staff was nice and considerate enough to include bigger portions because they knew we were sharing. The short ribs were fantastic, as was my glass of house red! I left with two books, one of which i found in the staff recommendations section, highly reccomend”
“I am OBSESSED with this store. They have a really good selection of occult books, RPG stuff, and *squeals* they have Cthulhu plushies! I love Cthulhu. Oh and they have postcards! And cool buttons. And yeah, I’m obsessed.”
“As a local game store they have a very good selection of games. They have had game events in the past I can't say if they still do. This is my first choice to go look for something.”
“I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. Amazing selection of sealed sports cards. Everything from big time hobby boxes all the way to cheap single wax packs. Guy running the place was pleasent as could be. You could tell he loved what he was doing. I highly highly recommend stopping by.”
“A really fun bookstore in the heart of Providence. The displays are great, usually the flat lays include a book or two that I am looking for. The coolers for soft drinks/waters are also a nice feature.”
“Books on the Square punches above its weight. Everyone on staff is very kind and their $1 books and used book deals cannot be beat. I also really enjoy their selection of Rhode Island specific trinkets and cards and I always come here when I am shopping for gifts.”
“It is a great little store when looking to purchase a book as a gift, it doesn't seem to be the fun kind of store where someone could spend hours looking through the stacks.”
“I enjoy this store for it wide variety of odds and end, a fun store to bring a kid to if you don't have a lot of money . Also. Great place to buy a kid a present to bring to. Party without breaking the BANK.”
“Great selection of books as well as STEAM toys. The people there are friendly and always ready to assist you in finding that perfect gift (gift wrap it for FREE ??) for any age range.”
“Most incredible experience my daughter has ever had. Her goal is to attend Brown, so on vacation we decided to check out the bookstore and grab a souvenir. The staff there was so incredible including one amazing woman who decided to bless it forward. It made the entire vacation. We cannot thank her enough. Hopefully she sees this time know how much it meant. Loyal future Brown kid!”
“Super cute little romance bookstore! They had a ton of different sub-genre options, even a closed door section which is nice for those who don’t like explicit scenes. Various other items for sale like stickers, sweatshirts, tote bags, bookmarks, and greeting cards. Street parking can be tricky but we found a spot easily. Can’t wait to visit again!”

“Heaven for artists. Everything you need to buy for your project except creativity. Huge paper section. (I bought some Italian paper/prints of flowers, mushrooms, birds, etc for about $6 each that I plan to frame.) They have a huge selection of journals, too. Michaels is a consumerist joke compared to this store. Honestly, you could spend two hours here, salivating.”
“Books are Wings does amazing things for kids in Rhode Island. It helps children who might not otherwise have books of their own build a library of their own. Its a great place to volunteer, a great place to donate.”
“This bookstore is pretty tucked away, and confusing for first time visitors. I’ve used google maps to drive here and it always leaves you up the street. Go down that one way street, across the gated parking lot there’s an opening with a sign up top. Then stay to the left, down the stairs to a shady looking basement—that’s the bookstore.The actual store itself is your run of the mill university bookstore. It’s got affordable school supplies, overpriced snacks and JWU apparel. I’ve picked up all of my textbooks here without a problem, and 5 minutes tops. There’s an older gentleman who works the desk and has for years and he’s very polite and helpful. Ask him for help if you need it.”
“It's an absolute gem! The guy who works there had the audacity to approach me and ask what interests me. I couldn't believe he did that, but once I survived that terrifying experience, I was exposed to some of the best ephemera I'd ever seen. It was as well-curated as some of the best museums you'll ever be in without the whiteness and hostility that usually accompanies those environments.”

“School store for all your RWU needs. Though calling it a "Barnes and Noble" is wierd as they only cary ordered books. More of a partnership if you will. Very overpriced as well.”

“Great selection of books! Really amazing cookbooks I added to my collection. A local bookstore that will warm your heart. It felt like the unique books were individually picked by the owners, not a big box store”
