Charm City Books

Lovely bookstore, awesome books.Bought a book for myself and a friend for christmas, highly recommended! Also some great local selections. Mount Royal Soaps etc..

Lovely bookshop with a great variety of genres and authors (other than typical big name authors you see in chain stores). Also a lovely collection of gifts for all ages, like bags, toys, clothing, games, etc. there's a lot area for purchasing tea (although I didn't look too closely). The shop doggos are adorable and well behaved. Definitely stop in when you can! The employees are wonderful and will happily gush over titles with you & give recs.

The store looks amazing and is fun to browse. There are 2 very friendly old dogs that greet you as you walk in. The building is a converted row home so you're able to go upstairs to the children's section. The staff were extremely helpful, and a known customer was the person who recommended my daughter a great book which we purchased. Great experience, support this small business!!

What a fun bookstore! Located on the main street in Pigtown, this independent bookstore is run by a passionate couple. Blasting music, enter into a world of books spread out on two floors. The first floor has most of their books with children's books and a play space up stairs. Visiting during Independent Bookstore Day, they hid tiny jars throughout the store for customers to find. Inside were gift cards, discounts, etc. They also host many events. For a date night, you can rent the entire store. You bring the food and they provide the drinks (and a store discount). So fun!

There is a certain charm (haha) to Charm City Books. I don’t know why but the second I walked in I couldn’t stop smiling. There are lots of cute bookstores in the world and this one is the cutest!! The vibes are cozy and welcoming to all. Browsing books just seems more approachable here than in other stores. I saw lots of events on their calendar so they seem very community oriented which is lovely!

Such a cute place. I take my niece and nephew their they love it. I support locally owned business 💕💗

On a whirlwind trip to Baltimore, I had a little extra time on my hands and searched for indie bookstores near me, and Charm City Books popped up. I schlepped the half mile there and walked in and... it was absolute heaven. I don't know how to explain my feelings about Charm City Books other than to say that I instantly felt seen. I may have been greeted when I walked in-- I probably was-- but I honestly couldn't tell you because I was immediately drawn in by a beautifully curated collection of books. Did I need more books? No. Did I already have about half of the books that they had in stock? Yes (don't judge me). Did I decide that I absolutely had to support this small business and get another book? Yup. I wish I lived in Baltimore so that I could be here all the time.

I was visiting Baltimore on a work trip and wanted to stop at a bookstore to get another book for my flight home. I’m so glad I found Charm City Books! It was bright and happy and their employee Brandon was so nice and very helpful! I bought books, a couple of pieces of art, some cards, and a magnet. My only regret is not living closer! I would be in there all the time!
