Cutest book store ever! We left with several new books to add to our collection. Books, stickers, and tons of other items to choose from. The staff were so friendly and pleasant to interact with. Such a cozy vibe and I loved the layout. It looks like they put on a ton of events as well. Definitely stop by and support this business! This is on our list to visit anytime we’re in the area.

Tombolo Books was one of those bookstores where I could easily lose track of time. I went in planning to browse for a few minutes and ended up looking through the shelves much longer than expected. I found some interesting titles and enjoyed seeing books I probably wouldn’t have come across elsewhere. The whole place had a cozy, inviting feel that made browsing enjoyable. I left with a book I was excited to read and would definitely visit again.

This space goes beyond welcoming to all, it also celebrates everyone’s diverse voices as a community. Many stores have different book clubs but this place also has a tweens/teens book club. They have a fantastic selection of books and merch. There is a great kids section too. Everyone was nice; even the customers were friendly at chatting. Grab a coffee from Black Crow next door as they share the outdoor back patio.
