A really lovely bookstore with fun displays and and little bookish gift ideas. The children's section has a fun tiny doorway.

This place is adorable! It even has a little archway into a kids' section! The owners are very sweet and kind, and they have a great selection. The whole place has a very cozy New England aesthetic. They have a good selection of local literature as well as cookbooks and souvenirs, aside from their main catalog. My only suggestion: Have drip coffee and tea for sale in the back so we can sit down and read our purchased books with a hot cup because this place is serene!

Pointedly deficient in adult genre fiction, but that shouldn't bother their core constituency of upper middle class middle aged+ registered Dem Whites buying gifts. The selection included a fair number of good-condition used books sold as new, so between that and the ideologically on-the-nose selection, I don't expect to be back. Great place to buy gifts for the grandkids before family get-togethers at your vacation house though.

Great bookstore, especially for children! They’ve got a cute little space for kids to browse and read books. The selection is huge and they also have a variety of games for families.

A cozy fire, a magical entrance to the children's department, great, well-curated books and gifts and friendly staff...what a gem! Oh, and local author friendly programing.

What a wonderful place! I found so many good books, on a wide variety of subjects, everything from writing to climate change to fiction. Excellent selection! And helpful, kind staff too. I wish I lived in Worcester, I'd be here on a very regular basis.
