One of the OKC metroplexs two remaining independent bookstores, Full Circle maintains a beautiful and timeless decor, with a friendly staff and an excellent selection of gelato in their garden cafe. Many major bookstores have been pushed to emphasize entertainment rather than reading in the wash of reduced sales accompanying the advent of ebooks. Yet Full Circle manages to reserve their premises for ample reading space in armchairs and benches, as well as a few fireplaces that only make the complimentary coffee all the more welcome in the Winter. Ive spent hours in Full Circle, reading or writing essays and stories, and can truly claim it as a place of beauty and inspiration, and a boon to our city.

This is the most "book store-ish" book store Ive ever been to. Attractive displays of themes of books, comfortable seating throughout the sections, rambling layout with delights in hidden corners (plan to spend time exploring), coffee stations in different areas to attract browsers - in addition to their pretty Cafe. Besides the latest editions by the hottest authors, they have sections for local talent, classics, and little known authors. Full Circle Bookstore is an independent, truly one-of-a-kind enterprise. They seem to honestly be more interested in their customers comfort and convenience than making an extra buck. Which makes Full Circle Bookstore well worth another visit.

You cannot even imagine our joy at finding this book store! My daughter and I love to read and bookstores are a favorite hangout. We were visiting OKC from Texas and came across this gem on the internet so decided to go check it out. My daughter (18 years old, btw) jumped out of the car and went RUNNING into this book store and I literally did not see her for 30 minutes! So many books and the atmosphere is how a book store should be! I cannot wait to bring my granddaughters up to see this place. The childrens section is unbelievable! Warm and inviting, I could stay here for hours, days, weeks!!! We will gladly make the trip from TX again and again to shop here!

I just found my new favorite hiding spot! Such an amazing atmosphere! This place has an old time feel with ladders to reach books on unreadable shelves. Full circle also has a small cafe. I didnt get a chance to see the menus or pricing though. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and knew right where everything I was looking for was located. My daughter loved the childrens section. There is comfy seating all over and at least two fire places. I saw people using their laptops so, wifi must be available. I can easily see myself sitting by the fireplace reading for an hour or two anytime I feel I need a getaway.

This is a gem of a bookstore, and Im so glad it has persisted through the years despite the nearby presence of large chain stores like Barnes & Noble. Full Circle is beautiful and welcoming, with lots of chairs and benches for reading (in the store and not just the cafe area), free coffee for patrons, a couple of fireplaces, and of course a wonderful selection of books. They play quiet, unassuming music except during evenings when there is sometimes live music in the cafe. All the staff are very nice and helpful as well. Im always happy to come read here and give this store my business.

My favorite bookstore and the stuff every book-lovers dreams are made of. This is my magical wonderland local favorite. The staff is so helpful and the interior makes this one of my favorite places to want to spend time. The cafe makes it even more enticing because you can always have some tasty treats while shopping. The book selection is wonderful and worth paying a little extra for since this is an Oklahoma landmark and local treasure.

Everytime I find myself here, I feel Im transported into a fairytale. Books to the ceiling, quaint coffee bar, childrens room made of dreams, nooks (and corners) full of surprises... . Its a beautiful place to sit quietly and draw the patrons next to the fire places or buy a book. The prices are a tad more than other places, but you honestly pay for the delightful experience. Go and soak in the charm and look all around!

Very cool environment, really cozy, picturesque, and an excellent date idea. Walked inside to hear music which I thought were playing through a speaker system but turned to notice there was an actual group of musicians playing strings. I dont read as much as Id like to so I cant give much of a review from an avid readers perspective, but I very much enjoyed my time browsing the shelves.

OKCs premier high end bookstore. A friendly and intelligent staff are always happy to assist. Environment is charming and unpretentious Plenty of periodicals and newspapers from around the globe for every interest. A small coffee shop/cafe is perfect to peruse your Italian Vogue or Mother Jones in. Sure, youll spend a few extra dollars but this kind of experience is worth it.

When you are in Oklahoma, no offense to Oklahomans, but a good book store seems to be a rarity, and this one is good! We attended a book signing there and were able to listen to the enlightened owner who aims to do what he can to raise the cultural awareness of Oklahomans and support the state. I was impressed and want to spend a lot more time there.

The Full Circle bookstore is the most unique of Oklahoma City because of the attention to detail. They are a business that takes care of the customer. The atmosphere is like being at home wrapped in a warm blanket and reading some of the best books of your life. Full Circle, is my first choice before all the others.

Best bookstore I have ever been to. The atmosphere is fantastic, making it a place where you could get lost for hours. They have a little cafe and seating area where it is the perfect place to get some work done. They also have a small patio that is fantastic when the weather is nice!

Wonderful selections and prices on everything. Staff is cheerful and helpful. I go at least once a week to check out the new stuff and they always have something that catches my eye. Wish they had one closer to me but I can make due with the drive considering how great the place is.

My favorite book shop in OKC. You should buy local with these folks. They have numerous cozy chairs next to fireplaces and a quaint little cafe that serves delicious lunch and beverages. Get yourself a glass of wine while you waste away the evening in a book next to a fire.

Local bookstore that feels like it came straight out of an old movie. Everything a bookstore should be. A few extra bucks per book is well worth the charm, atmosphere, and service. If you have little ones you dont want to miss story time every Saturday morning.

Great bookstore with a really nice selection of books, both fiction and nonfiction. Every time weve been the staff has been helpful and theres often something going on, like a string quartet playing or a poetry slam. Best bookstore in the OKC area for sure.

I tend to lose myself in bookstores, and Full Circle is no exception. They have sections on almost everything, from childrens books to world philosophies, including Oklahoma authors and themes. The cafe is also worth checking out.
