The staff are friendly and welcoming. It is fun to visit the shop in combination with a meal at Lynn's diner a couple doors down. There is free parking on nearby streets.”

“I've traveled all across the US and this little bookstore an hour away from my home is my favorite. Incredible selection, the vibes were immaculate (even though the cat side eyed me) and the staff incredibly sweet and helpful. Cozy store with a wide selection organized by sections and decorated very mindfully. I felt safe, welcomed, and right at home here. Highly recommend.”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this store! The owner, Abby, was incredibly charismatic, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely helpful. She went above and beyond to help me place an order for a book that I couldn't find anywhere in Austin or even onAmazon. It's rare to get this level of personal attention and customer service. Abby made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend stopping by and supporting this store-you'll get an amazing customer experience and truly awesome customer service”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

Luckily I was driving up in this area and I came up upon this bookstore. It was well organized, clean, and best of all had a wonderful selection of great books. Save your money and check out the store you’ll be glad you did!”

There’s a big magazine section which I like and just a huge selection of books. Store looks clean and organized. There is also Game Stop inside of B&N which is interesting.”

“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.”
