“I absolutely loved the size of this store! It’s a book lovers dream! There is a huge variety in the selection, with a healthy smattering of old/vintage and newer books. A couple things to keep in mind, there isn’t really a consistent alphabetical system happening within each of the sections, so if you’re looking for a particular book, particularly with the older/vintage stuff, you might be looking for a while. Another thing to keep in mind, they definitely don’t have everything, which I can’t fault them for. Overall though, still a super fun experience, and I definitely plan to return!”
“Really lovely bookshop with a wide variety of reads. The staff was also super friendly, particularly in the kids and youth section. I loved that I was able to order a book online that they didn't have in shop and then just go pick it up.Honestly the only thing I don't love about the store is that it's wildly difficult to get around with any kind of mobility issues. There are a lot of tight turns and internal stairs, plus an incredibly uneven floor. Kind of a tragedy, yknow?”
“Such a cool bookstore! We had no idea it existed, what the trolley mall… place… was before arriving, and loved how it just opened up the further we walked in.Granted some genre’s could use a few more shelves, but there’s certainly plenty there for everyone.We WILL be back many times over.”
“Super cute book store! I was looking for a birthday card made buy a local artist and that is exactly what I found! We will be back to shop for books next time. Must go if you have the chance!”
“The store was clean and the staff was friendly, but the specific book I was looking for wasn't there. It was a graphic novel that a marvel movie is going to be based on and I expected to find it. This company has scaled back their comic book selection for years and it finally caught me. I guess I need to visit local comic book shops to buy these kinds of items.”
“Esther waited on me and she is absolutely amazing. She gave me so much assistance. I will be back for sure it is seriously the cutest store I’ve been in a long time. I can’t wait to bring my husband back.”
“If you want a wonderful bookstore with new and used books run by someone who wholeheartedly loves books and is lovely person, then this is the store for you. I have been in multiple times now and every time there are people inside having lively conversations about books or recommendations from, who I assume is the owner since he is always there at the register. The vibe is great, and there is something for everyone.”
“Mormon bookshop - does as advertised. It's not much of a concept in the UK but this store only sells Mormon products. So it's interesting to look around. It's well laid out and the staff were super friendly.”
“I went to the bookstore after having zero luck in finding detailed maps of a certain area/geologic feature. I had tried online groups, RM, REI, NatGeo and others but nothing aided in my search.I knew I would find what I was looking for in terms of physical maps but was surprised at the help I received in my quest upon entering the bookstore. The gentleman walked me through every question I had showing great enthusiasm! He even pulled up some online resources and gave me some tips/tricks.I don’t have the words to express my gratitude for his time and service but will say Thank You for a job well done!”
“I enjoyed shopping here. Loved browsing through the store and finding the books and gifts I wanted to take home. The staff and service were wonderful. Purchased some lovely books for friends and family.”
“The staff are awesome they make you like you a friend. I have autism and a tbi or traumatic brain injury for those of you who don’t know. Sometimes it’s hard for me to process things. So I’m slower at responding. They’re so patient it’s so nice I wish more people were like them. I love going here to get my church supplies. ❤️”
“This store has always had a very friendly staff. It's not as large as some of the ones in Utah, but it has everything for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints here. At least, I've never had to go without, other than during Covid, which gets a pass from me.”
“Went to pick up a book as they opened on 7/4, they were short staffed and the kind employee helped me locate what I was trying to find even when she was the only employee working.”
“There's a great clearance section I like to check out each visit. Great discounted prices! Great selection of books, clothing, jewelry, small and large gifts, kids stuff, and CTR rings.”
“A wonderful little book shop. So much interesting stuff to look at, and I love the multi-level layout in their new location. I do wish they had a larger section for Fantasy and Sci-Fi books though, my inner nerd yearns for more!”

“The bookstore is amazing! There are used books in brand new condition and a lot of them! I found everything I wanted in addition to some gifts that they sell. There are some very nice gifts in there and I was pleased to get some amber on a necklace for my daughter. Everything is very reasonably priced, and the employees were very helpful.”
“A Nostalgic Gem for Play + Learning!Tutoring Toy is a hidden gem for those seeking high-quality toys that blend nostalgia with play and learning. The caring owners are not only knowledgeable about age-appropriate toys but also well-versed in their advanced board game selection. Their fantastic gift wrapping adds a personal touch, making every visit feel like going to a favorite Auntie's place. A must-visit for unique and thoughtful gifts!”
“This place is and always will be one of the best place for books, jewelry, readings & food. Ive eaten Thanksgiving dinner here one year and it was memorable, comfortable and lovely.”
“We visit Gardner village at least once a month to see their displays and have stopped by the Storybook Nook many times while there. The environment is very open and kid friendly. They have a play section for children that is fun, especially if you need a minute to look for gift ideas. :) My only complaint is that they have a lot of toys and I wish they would carry more books. We love supporting local book sellers and the owner always gives great recommendations about books, there just isn't as big of an inventory as some of their local competitors. This store is also better for kids 8 and younger as they mostly have picture books.”
“The service in this store is absolutely amazing ? I am so grateful for the experience I had in this wonderful store today. Georgia helped me and was so kind and so knowledgeable about the products I was in search of. I look forward to shopping there again soon.##neverstopdreaming”
“I took my husband to Benchmark books as he was looking for a certain book. They were anxious to help him find the books he wanted. He left with 3. The gentleman who helped him was very helpful and knowledgeable! We will definitely shop Benchmark Books again!”
“Everytime we come here, there is an older gentleman who is working, Tony. He is incredibly kind and fun to talk to. We even played a game with him and he taught us how to play it properly. This store also offers a lot of cool and nostalgic toys.
Appreciate coming here and this man. He's great!”
“Excellent little deli. Sandwiches are always amazing and the daily specials are awesome as well. Prices are reasonable. Staff are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Love getting lunches here. Give them a shot, you will not be disappointed.”
“Overall very clean they have a lot of different options between snacks and entertainment. The snacks have a huge variety and selection to be able to choose what you want and there was lot of variety of drinks. They were carrying Pepsi products and had coffee, energy drinks, etc.”
“This is my most favorite place to go! This place is so close to my heart, it's where I go for all of my recovery supplies and it has so much to offer. Every single person in the world should know about this store and shop here. They have EVERYTHING you need. All things to do with AA and other 12 step programs, books on codependency, divorce, co-parenting, eating disorders, and everything else under the sun you might be struggling with, and all sorts of cards that are so beautiful and unique, and coins to celebrate milestones, and beautiful decorations for your home unrest lift your spirits... I could go on and on. I love this store and I hope it never ever closes. ?”
