Lovely, comfortable space, awesome staff who are passionate about books, great location Dunn Brothers right across the street, and excellent selection. Not a BROAD selection, a carefully curated one, for which every fifth book on the shelf feels like a must-read. And it just feels good to support an independent bookstore. Im sure I could have saved money by buying the books I picked up from Amazon. And I love Amazon. But they get enough of my money.

I was in town for a business trip. As you probably know, St. Paul shuts down at night pretty early. I was going for an evening walk and was pleasantly surprised to find a book store (this book store) open. The selection of books is quite broad and I had a hard time narrowing down which book would fly home with me. I ended up settling on Dawkins "Brief Candle in the Dark." Whenever I am in town, I will find my evening-in-the-hotel material here.

Its a nice hang out place. You dont have to buy a book here (though you should because they have a very nice variety). I usually end up just talking to the employees who are very nice people. There are reviews for the books and the couches and chairs are very comfy. Nice atmosphere overall. 10/10 would recommend

Small local bookstore. Great, friendly staff and a couple of bargain carts in the hall. If they dont have the book you want, they will order it. Also, they give great advice, give them a few simple wants or likes, boom, great book in your hands!

A great little of bookstore and a very helpful staff. I was in town for a business meeting and had a chance to stop by. Found a wonderful book as I was browsing through the shelves.

Come here to find your next favorite book. The staff and owner are fantastic at recommendations and its located in a lovely space in downtown St. Paul.

Great idea runs up against reality. Literature selection is excellent, the rest is so-so. Of course, the small scale works against it.

Blair Williams

Great place for book community, which is probably its biggest strength. Check the recommendations, book clubs, event list.

Great curated selection of books. Had everything I have been thinking of buying (or have bought) in the last 2 years.

Love to bring in a Dunn coffee from across the street, settle into a comfortable chair and pick out a book.

Super friendly staff. I feel completely welcome every time I walk in the door. A gem in downtown.
