Literati Bookstore

High prices. Great design. Coffee shop upstairs. Books are split between basement, main floor, and upstairs.

I love this store. It's such a cute place. The staff are very kind, and the staff recommendations are awesome. I've found some of my very favorite books based on the posted recommendations here. Pro tip: Take someone on a date here.

I have zero respect for these people. They took thousands of dollars from the community through a GoFundMe, refuse to open for a year, and laid off all the coffee staff and half of their store staff. Showing their true colors in a pandemic. I get it s hard but they re way overhyped.

Great selection of books, and if they don't have the book you're looking for, ordering it online through their system is cheaper than Amazon nine times out of ten, with free curbside pickup. Support your local small businesses!

I love the big windows and music. The best part is the first floor is a bookstore with cool events during the week. Perfect for perusing during work breaks.

Busy and cute bookstore that has an extensive assortment of topical books. Check out the basement! Staff is super knowledgeable and offers a lot of curated recommendations. Really smart for gift ideas!

A great variety of books and genres, fiction and non fiction. The store is bursting with employee recommendations, every shelf seems to have one. I like that, it makes the store stand out and gives it personality. There's a cafe upstairs, though we didn't go up. There's an old typewriter in the basement that customers can use; I love the aesthetic of type print, the click clack of the keys. The girl who rang me up was very sweet and enthusiastic. When I told her the book wasn't for me, I sneaked it away from my friend and bought it for her secretly as a wedding gift, she said that was so cute. Didn't spend very much time here, but I'd recommend it!

Good bookstore for finding a range of subjects. Not bad for its size.

We absolutely love Literati. We have been so impressed over the six months or so we have been using the service. Our oldest son, age 4, is a book worm so we always knew he'd love it, and he certainly does. The real revelation has been our younger son, who is 2 years old. He has never previously been interested in books but the excitement of getting his box and the gorgeous books has brought a huge change, and he now absolutely loves reading. The books are always beautifully chosen, and hard to find. My husband and I love books and we spend a lot of time finding books for our children, and even then Literati always seem to find things we have missed. This is especially the case during the pandemic when we have been avoiding going to book shops in person. And then Literati also include wonderful prints (we frame them and put them on the wall, they are works of art), sticks and extra little gifts like postcards, UV pens (super fun!) and friendship bracelets. I really rate this subscription and I recommend it to all my friends!

What a treasure! I love the short narratives given by the store about the books!
