Great selection of books, always finding some new recommendations from the staff picks. Friendly staff who genuinely enjoy their interactions with patrons.

The wide range of genres in this tiny little haven is excellent. Bit of a drive to get to, but worth the trip, great staff, great setup.

Local bookshop that serves most of inner loop as far as local bookstores go. It’s pretty basic inside so doesn’t feel like a romanticized quaint book shop if that’s your thing. I thought they had good book recommendations and I’ve heard they host great events. I bought a book for my son off one of the staff pick shelves and he liked it! I’ve got high expectations coming from blue willow out west and rainy day books in Prairie Village, but still love supporting local.

Awesome bookstore with lots of good choices and great prices. I bought so much!!! They also have a very nice selection of colored pens which I went for too.

Not a lot of selection of books. More empty space inside than books. Employees do NOT know anything about books and are clueless. I asked for a book author and the 1st employee pointed me to a book. I then asked if there was another title by the same author and a 2nd nosy employee came over saying "the 1st person already told you that". No, they did not. I was asking for a separate title but by the same author. Note to store: some authors can actually write many books, not just one book. Also, hire people who have actual knowledge of books.

Quaint bookstore with a good variety of books. The recipe of the week by the cookbooks is a nice touch.

I love this bookstore! Every time I go it warms my heart, brings me joy and makes me feel like I'm at home. For its size they have an incredible selection and always have something new even when I go in on a weekly basis! The staff are very knowledgeable and have never failed me when I do for a book rec for myself or a friend. I also love the "staff pick's" books and the little cards with the book descriptions from staff. There are a couple staff I have found I have similar taste with and their staff picks never let me down! Brazos has also become my go to for gifts for friends, family and coworkers. They have lovely cards and other gift-worthy trinkets.

I've found over the last few years that I don't care for this establishment. A couple of reasons:Staff are not helpful, or at least never have been to me. Example: I was in a while back and picked up "The Passenger" by McCarthy. I asked at the counter if they knew when Stella Maris would be on the shelf and the counter person tried to fake it but had no idea what I was talking about or who McCarthy is. And it is OK, to not know. It isn't indicative of a very knowledgeable staff, but ok. Not a sin. But what am I getting by patronizing here. This visit for me crystallized that there is no reason to come here. I think if someone is a regular and a familiar face that may auger better service and they may attempt to actually care. A few times I have been in and felt as though I was being a little rushed. I've just felt a little funny, the store is not welcoming at all. It doesn't pretend to be, In my experience.So ok. I've been basically paying about 10.00/book above Amazon or B&N, in order to help independent bookstores. Buy why? I mean, seriously. Why?I've purchased quite a few books here and online from them. But I'm going back to Amazon and B&N for my book purchases. I can think of absolutely zero reason why I shouldn't.

What a wonderful little, local bookstore! The store itself is so clean and well organized. They have a decent selection of authors and genres (and I'm sure they could order anything you want that they don't have in stock). The women who were working there when I stopped by were so helpful and kind. It was just a great experience all around, and I will definitely be back!

I'm a huge book lover and reader, so I've spent a lot of time in bookstores. This one is not my favorite. I've visited it twice and there's just nothing special about it. They do show the newest or trending books, so it's cool to survey the displays and remember a few book titles to purchase on Amazon later. However, the staff is not the best nor attentive, the only interaction my boyfriend and I had the entire time during our perusing was at the end when my boyfriend said "have a nice day", to which one lady employee grunted "mmhm". It just rubbed us the wrong way. They sell everything for absolute retail or higher and I would rather just go to Barnes & Nobles or Amazon for that.

The physical space is not particularly notable. But the selection of books is differentiated from what you see in a typical store. Clearly the product of people who love books. I left with titles I never would have seen anywhere else and with more free bookmarks than I ever thought possible ;)

The workers were super nice & recommended several books to me! They all seemed to love reading and were very helpful. I left with the novel, Lapvona, which was deeply disturbing, but a page turner!

Quiet little bookshop with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Clean store, not a coffee shop or music store. They have a great gift selection too! Go for a visit, you won't be disappointed.
