This is my second time here and it’s so darn cute and fun. If you’re into the woo woo or love pretty little things and books, Golden Braid Books is the perfect place! The staff is friendly and the store smells great.There’s a coffee shop that is fantastic and the bathroom is exceptionally clean.Don’t forget to pick up some handmade local incense sticks too!

Have been a guest for years, even before they recently stocked my new book. I love wandering the aisles and finding new books. I've enjoyed having my aura reading and other readings by their psychics. And I can't forget the restaurant. Yum!

Came from out of town and wanted to buy a book for my sister. Didn't know what to get and needed some help, I was met with an employee Emily. Whom was very personalable and extremely knowledgeable. I felt very welcome and the energy of this establishment was very positive. Will come back next time.

Hraefn did my reading yesterday. At the end he asked me how he did and I just said “that was weird” thanked him and left to get coffee. I just want to say I was pretty taken aback and still processing so that was the only thing that came to mind.During the reading not a word came from my lips. I asked no questions and gave no insight to what I am dealing with. I wanted to see what he could do. While he gave me some good generic advise at first. Then he pulled some wildly specific and correct interpretations about my current life from the ether. I want to say I’m a very skeptical person. But I know that he is not full of it. Hraefn is legit. He said some things that only I know things I don’t share. He is good with those stones.

You get profiled by the employees and it makes for a very uncomfortable shopping experience. They will ignore you until they want to follow you around to watch you. Very unprofessional. Don’t go there if you want to be treated with respect.

NOT STROLLER OR WHEELCHAIR accessible. You know moms like to buy books and eat at cafes too. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Thought it would be a nice place for lunch. Dont recommend atleast not for moms! Or people in wheelchairs.

Lovely, very intentionally-curated selection of books & a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. Between the incense & Cafe, it smells heavenly. I enjoyed visiting & browsing the selection of tarot, books, and metaphysical supplies.

You should go there even when NOT looking for books, It is the best place in SLC to drain your stress away. Seriously.If you just go in and sit quietly, your shoulders drop and you start breathing slower an deeper. Within minutes the relaxed feeling kicks in. It might be a feng-shui thing, I dont know. I used to come in and just sit. Thats all.If you have been there you probably know what I mean. If you havent been there drop by for 30 minutes and just sit. Whether you even look for / buy a book; visiting there is one of the best things you can do for yourself.Need to completely de-stress? Well the address is right here in the web page.

I go to Oasis Cafe and Golden Braid Book Store 3 to 5 times a week. Oasis Cafe is my favorite restaurant in Salt Lake City and the book store is fabulous. I highly recommend both of these places. The service is excellent and the energy in Oasis and The Golden Braid is out of this world. It’s a hidden gem. I’ve been going to both places since they opened many years ago.

I've been coming here for years and it's been consistently great. The people who work here are so kind and helpful and they have so many amazing books that you don't see often elsewhere. I love getting gifts here, especially in December.

Every time I visit SLC I have to stop by Golden Braid. Wonderful inscents, jewelry, books, tarot cards. And they have a vegan restaurant attached. 100% wish we had a place like this where I live.

What better way to kill a little extra time between appointments downtown than swinging into Golden Braid Books? This place has such an interesting selection. The staff is always super charming and helpful and it also doesn't hurt that they're next door neighbors w/ the lovely Oasis Cafe!10/10 would recommend!

This is such a fun little store to look through while you're waiting for your table at the yummy restaurant Oasis! Tarot cards, crystals, books and more ?

The first thing I noticed about this bookstore was the smell of incense as I walked in the door. Oh, ok, it's one of those places. There are lots of gift type items-stones, chakra stuff, tarot cards, candles, soaps, etc. Of course, they also have books.I was here for a guided journaling event and found that the staff were very welcoming and familiar. While they may not have the largest selection of books like some of the big box stores, it has all the charm of the small town bookstore that you usually only see in RomCom movies.
