“This was such a sweet find. Today is Independent Bookstore Day and we were in Austin and decided to check out Birdhouse Books. We absolutely loved our time there. My kids and I spent a considerable amount of time in the children’s section. I particularly appreciate the book categories they have, from graphic books to books about inclusivity. There is a limited selection of parenting books, which was surprising to me. I half expected a wider range of parenting books considering the selection of children’s books they had. And the parenting books were shelved right at the back of the store instead of being closer to the children’s section, which I thought was an odd choice. I also particularly appreciate that they have banned books here, and book recommendations.
When we went there today, it looks like there was an event going on and from their calendar in the store, it seems that they hosted events every now and then, which is great.
Staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. We plan to come back again.
Parking was easy and when you have kids, that is an important factor to consider.
And tip: When you are done here, walk to the Japanese grocery store in the same block and get yourself some delicious snack.”
“I brought a signed copy of The first to die at the end, and I live all the way in Canada it came so fast, I am extremely happy with the presentation and safety transportation absolute 1000/10 business they left a little note too so sweet definitely recommend, small business are always the way thanks guys my brother is going to love it for Christmas!!!”
“I am grateful for this indie-bookstore. They have welcomed my books into their space to be introduced to new readers. The owner Thais and the employees are kind. Thank you Reverie.”
“What an amazing little book store with so many rare books. Also, the staff was beyond helpful and answered all of my questions. Stop by and check out this gem!”

“The cutest romance bookstore! I was there for an author event and then returned later in the week to show my daughter, and they were hosting a spring pop up faire event! It was lovely.”
“If you're looking for any tattooing books this is the place to go. The owner Wendy and viddy are amazing they make you feel comfortable like you're right at home.”
“Quiet book store located in Austin downtown, has an attached cafe where you can read or preview book in silence. Has 3 stories and the sections are neatly labeled.
Within each section, the quote and summary of the books are posted (for popular books) to get an idea prior to purchase. Open until late evening. If you are bookworm , then this place shall feel like a warm paradise. Have a good read.”
“They have a wonderful selection, though, with the sheer amount of series they have, there will always be some volumes out of stock or missing, since it is always extremely crowded. Sadly, this location, unlike others doesn't take cash”
“We love the store. It’s like having an Amazon to be able to go into and pick things up and look at them. They’ve got literally everything you would see on Amazon. The variety is so helpful. Ask for help because the ladies there can show you stuff you might not know they have. We’ve gotten obscure gifts for that special option and namebrand gifts for something. The kids are sure to love. The selection they have feels wholesome and quality, like you won’t make a bad choice. Westlake is lucky to have them.
They’ve got a great French bistro next-door, and honey baked ham, as well. Location is great for shopping and lunch.”
“Great selection of a lot of different books, games(board and video), dvds, records, CDs. And much more. At affordable prices.
Why only 4 stars? They celebrate with a huge window display pride month and that's not ok in my book. We didn't need to celebrate what people do in their own bedrooms..”

“LOVE going here! Gone plenty of times with my son, looking for specific books and always end up finding something new to us. Love the prices- and the staff is so helpful. They asked what I was looking for (it was 3 different books) then found it at another store and transferred it, then texted the next day when one of them came in.
And no one acted annoyed as my youngest threw a fit on the floor… 🙈🫣
thank you!”

“Selection of books is amazing but the buy price they give you for selling your used books is paltry. Still good service for the buy counter and the checkout staff.”

“We always enjoy visiting Barnes & Noble. The store is clean, well organized, and has such a calm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s a great place to browse, discover new books, and spend quality time as a family. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. We’re grateful to have such a great bookstore nearby!”
“My daughter journey has been sick for 1 week we are admitted in dell children's in East Austin can someone contact me ? I have left messages . I need prayer for her please .”
“One of the Best HBCUS EVER my granddaughter loves ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ this school because of the way they care about their students and future students”
“They had the best customer service. 40 some high school students crashed the quiet store and if it bothered them or stressed them out, you couldn't tell. They were great!”
“Visiting from Houston on a comic book/collectibles tour with my wife, this is one of our favorites in ATX. my wife found a vintage spice girls doll she was looking for (and it was signed) and we both enjoyed the nice lady working there!”

“Fabulous poetry reading, smiling charcuterie and sparkling water and community. Beautiful diverse book selection for sale, Also, beaded jewelry and t-shirts, clothing items. A welcoming bookstore.”
“They sold out of the item I wanted, but the customer service was amazing!! They offered to order more and took my email to update me :) I would absolutely recommend coming here as the staff was very friendly and so willing to help!”
“Real books, lots of them! A great variety of magazines, too! I read ebooks regularly, but never want to give up the pleasure of an actual printed book to own and hold. Barnes and Noble has an excellent variety of books to choose from, a cafe to sit an drink coffee while you sample possible books to buy and helpful staff to find or order just what you need.”

“Hello, I placed an online order for a Master of Education Hood for a graduation robe that is needed for an upcoming graduation ceremony scheduled in about 2 weeks. Though I didn't request expedited service my order arrived in 1 day.--- Thank you very much, you are greatly appreciated.”
“You can be in this place for hours upon hours , and get lost . I can’t believe they had this book ! I like this location , if they don’t have something they will try and get it for you , some books are too expensive. Like this War within a war book ?.”
“Hook'em Horns Y'all. Everything you can imagine to show our UT pride. And don't forget to round up at the register to support scholarships.
My pup is gonna love this”
“As the best and biggest independent bookstore in Austin, it’s no surprise that they have a small location in the airport. This is right inside security and is very convenient. Besides books, they sell some snacks and drinks, T-shirts, small gifts, and cards. It’s a small sample of the books. They have in their main store, but they’re curated for titles that would be easy reading our plane.”
“More than a book store, it’s an experience!
Huge selection of children’s books. We loved the author reading for “These Are The Good Old Days” during their Littles Story Time last Wednesday. Check their website for future events.”
“The literature is fanominal, makes you really think. What is freedom, & am I living in it to its fullest. Books zine's,pins,stickers,Chill vibes gud pplz,cat, snacks cold drinks,and a free section of things ppl may need, that you can take. Like masks or condoms, food or clothes/shoes.”
“so grateful for political bookstores, in every time & every day, but ‘specially in times like these. thank you for being an austin grassroots institution!”
“I believe it's the most underrated second-hand store in the country. You can walk out of that place looking like a conscious fashionista. It's a great place. The customer service is impeccable. Look at the fanny pack I got for a few bucks. That's not a bad find.”

“Honestly the most thoughtfully-curated indie bookstore in Austin, which is saying a lot. I always leave with about 3X the books I initially went in for and the owners/staff are so welcoming!”
