This shop is on Colfax Avenue, and I ride a rather expensive bike, so when I stopped in today for the first (and last) time, I pulled my bike just inside the door, making sure it was out of the way, not blocking the door in any way, and not blocking any merchandise. The woman behind the counter watched me enter, watched me place my bike, and did not acknowledge me. After five minutes of browsing, she approached and told me to take my bike outside. I explained that I didnt want it to get stolen and I had almost made my selections (a rather large stack of hardcover books). She said, "You cant have it in the store. Weve had a lot of bad experiences." I responded that I was having a bad experience right now, and left without making a purchase. I shall not return. I was the ONLY CUSTOMER in the store, and she chased me away. Next time I decide to support a mom and pop bookstore, Ill remember this experience and pick up my kindle instead.

I love this bookstore and always try to make a point of visiting when Im in the area. I can always find something to take home, plus their prices are reasonable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I wouldnt necessarily recommend this shop if you are looking for something very specific but it is great for browsing.

I thrive in book stores - every book has its charms for me. What I liked about this place is the atmosphere. Quiet and books are so cutely arranged by different sections of interest! I managed to find 3 used mysteries and after spending some time reading bits of them - paid for them and took them home with me.

Capitol Hill Books has been one of the top three bookstores in Denver for over 30 years. Exceptional selection and prices, cozy historical ambience, and staff non-pareil who treat your every inquiry with gentle, informed resourcefulness. Good thing they dont serve tea, or no one would ever leave.

Theyre great! The selection is expansive, and there are lots of nooks and crannies where you can sit on a stool and browse.
