Kramers: what do users think?
Jon and Amanda Lewis: Great little bookshop near Dupont Circle. They have a wide selection of titles & subjects and an attached cafe and restaurant. I found some wonderful vintage looking postcards such as a DC cherry blossom one and tried the Kramer’s Goober Pie. So incredible. I would highly recommend this place!
Arun Vishwanathan: Cute little bookstore in DC and you should stop by if in the area. Eclectic collection of titles and journals/calendars They do have a restaurant/diner inside, so you can grab a bite as well if you’re hungry. Wish I had more time to spend there..
Juhi Pac: Great bookstore-bar-restaurant combo right at DuPont circle. Very easily accessible by DuPont circle metro and good selection of books and atmosphere
Cara Forte: I'm really happy this awesome bookstore came recommended by a friend for me to check out while staying in Dupont Circle for a long weekend. The books and gifts are well curated and there is a restaurant in the store with delicious food, drinks, and dessert. The coffee is great, too.
Karen cohen: Helpful staff and a ton of books from every genre! Browsing is part of the fun or going there and see all the books you want to read. Have lunch in the dining area and spend the whole afternoon there. Huge children section,too.
C Luna: Food was fantastic! Especially the cherry blossom cheesecake :) Service was amazing- our waitress was sweet and funny. Definitely a great date spot ❤
John Weber: What a lovely place to look for books and grab a bite to eat! I only walked around the bookstore but from what I could tell, the food both looked and smelled amazing!! On the restaurant side, there are a couple lounge chairs/couches to relax in as well. Definitely stop by and drop in if you are nearby. I was able to park just a block away on a Friday night.
bruce hutson: Kramers. Since 1976, so it’s not new to many, unless you visit from outa town, like we did. Our friends, Bob and Lynn, came here on dates years ago, as many did and still do. Lots of stories within these walls, ups and downs, and today we sat in fleeting sunshine to taste the excellent Kramers Breakfast(tasty potatoes), and the full mouth, comforting Ham Benedict(such creamy Hollandaise). Oh, and the books fairly pulsed into our hands within the well laid out spaces. Feed your body, nourish your soul
M Boone: Good brunch menu with solid pairings. Visit it after strolling through the nearby Farmer's Market. Space inside is a little tight particularly with the kitchen in-the-middle, but cozy nonetheless. I enjoyed the chicken and waffles. Presentation is good. Prices are on par for D.C.
Quarib Chowdhury: This is a Washington DC institution. Everyone should visit, buy a book, and eat at the cafe. I’ve browsed through this place many many times and even bought books and ate at the cafe. I ate at the cafe years ago but remember everything being delicious. As someone with a big sweet tooth, the apple pie crust desert was amazing. The expansion to bring the cafe into the bookstore actually works really well. I’ll have to revisit the cafe next time.

All Day by Kramers: what do users think?
Jenna DeFosse: This was my first time at Kramers to eat in many many years. The food was good! I remember not liking the food as much last time (maybe 10 years ago?). I came for brunch on a Sunday with a couple of friends at 1:00pm. I reserved online and it said only outdoor seating was available. But when we got there, they said anywhere that had available seating was open. We found three seats at the bar—lucky to sit inside since it was February and cold that day!! I found it a little weird that I reserved a spot but it ended up you were able to sit anywhere that was available. Everyone liked what they ordered. A meal that had fries had old bay on it. I’d definitely want to come back on a date or at a leas busy time. The place was packed. The bookstore was great as usual just super busy the day I was there!
Deborah Williams: Perfect brunch place in DC near metro station. Lovely place cozy and green. Lovers of plants you will love it. Very Delicious food. Great customer service ! Definitely going there again for another brunch
Tiffany Shields: It was ok. The host wasn't the nicest and I had to ask them to wipe off the wet table they wanted to sit me at.🤷🏿♀️ I ordered a latte and they didn't give a spoon. I had to ask for it. Ordered the smoked salmon Benedict, it was blah Egg was poached perfectly, however the some of salmon was brown, yuck, and English muffin was stale. Too bad everyone raves about this place, but I didn't have a decent experience. I won't return.
Alysha Muth: Delicious drinks, great food. The arugula salad was so good. Spicy bloody Mary, and nice outdoor seating
Stephanie Corte: We had a decent experience at All Day. The food was okay but not necessarily amazing or unique. The breakfast potatoes were unseasoned and stale with some pieces completely burnt. The bacon and ham were the best tasting parts. It was strange that each of the plates seemed to have been made by different cooks, since the eggs and potatoes were very different from the other plate. For example, one plate had green onions on the eggs and white onions in the potatoes while the other plate did not. The overall vibe, service, and seating outdoors is what makes this an enjoyable place to eat at.
Hanna Foreman: Personally I love the bookstore out front. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I buy most of my books in Washington there. However, do yourself a favor and avoid the brunch here. The service was slow and the servers were not friendly. I ordered a coffee and eggs Benedict. The coffee was lukewarm and served in thin mugs rather than thick diner mugs. The eggs Benedict wasn’t warm and it would’ve been nice to have a side of potatoes instead of a wet salad with an extremely sour dressing. You’re much better off gambling on the line at le diplomate or going somewhere else in the neighborhood.
Anastasia Sarmakeeva: Portions are good, but the dishes was dirty. My berries definitely wasn’t fresh in granola. Maybe if you eating meat sandwiches and burgers are better. But i didn’t have luck. Atmosphere and the place is great though.
Josh Gishi: All Day by Kramer’s has become a staple for my wife and I. Whether if you’re craving breakfast food, a burger, salad, they have it. I love the Kramer’s Breakfast plate, the burger, chicken and waffles, and most recently the Cubano sandwich. The Cubano was so yummy. I think there are better Cubanos in DC, but it was an amazing sandwich nonetheless. Ive always left satisfied and the wait staff is always so pleasant and friendly.
Kayla Cooley: Amazing! We had the Cubano sandwich and it was more than enough for two people. The bookstore was amazing and we had a blast browsing
Joel Hames: It was solidly okay. Service was great. I had the steak and fries (substitute salad because the fries have gluten), and it was all….just okay. Steak wasn’t a particularly pleasant cut, and the cook on it was off. Salad was fine. Wine was good. Likely not heading back.

Busboys and Poets: what do users think?
Tina Marbury: My group is visiting from Ohio for a conference. The restaurant is pleasingly eclectic in its decor. The atmosphere was quaint. The server was pleasant and smile with authenticity as she assisted the three of us. The food was served hot and was pleasing plated. The taste of the good was amazing. The seasoning of the catfish, greens and cheddar and jalapeño grits was perfect. I could eat here every day.
Valerie Mostyn: I absolutely loved it here! I loved how the staff were just having a good time and jamming out to music while working. The girl behind the bar was living her best life with the music. The whole place has a fantastic vibe and great food. We came for brunch but I'm sure dinner is just as great!
Beverlyn Salva: Boyfriend and I were looking for breakfast to eat and we choose to go here. Very unique atmosphere. Love how they incorporated the bookstore & dinning together. Although the service we got was not what we expected. We order our drinks then later ordered our entrées. We get our food and both of our food was lukewarm and my fries was COLD (didn’t eat it). In addition, our server never checked on how we are doing and gave us what we requested which was just sugar for our coffee. Manager was walking around doing table touches and we never got touched. Our server then asked “how was everything” after we put our plate aside and decided enough is enough. Maybe if we come back it’ll be different but being our FIRST time eating there, we won’t come back. So if you’re looking for good food with good service this won’t be it or maybe it’ll be different. Who knows.
c clark: This was a very cool spot. I really liked the environment and the had great music, classic hip-hop and r and b. Great service and great food. I will definitely be going back here next time I'm in DC
Matt K: We got the Smoked Dalmon Benedict and Sweet Potato Pancakes. Overall this was a great breakfast and was memorable. I wish I could do it slightly differently. I'd like to add a little bit of red onion and sea salt or everything bagel seasonings to the Benedict. Other than that, very nice.
Erika L Zamora: Loved this place! 1st time in DC and heard this was a great place to eat and shop for books. They were right! Staff was friendly and the energy was Perfect. I had the cheeseburger and some nachos- both were delicious. I tried the cauliflower bites and was pleasantly surprised! I asked our waitress what drink she recommended since I liked sweet drinks. She brought over a DC water and I ended up having 3. Bought some postcards, stickers, a jigsaw puzzle and a book. Would definitely visit again!
Abigail Morales: The ambience is what you'll visit this location for. An unassuming book store with inspiring quotes and art of historic figures. The food is okay for what I felt was overpriced breakfast/lunch. We asked for a fried chicken sandwich the online menu didn't mention it being spicy but it was. The Cobb salad chicken tasted and looked like chicken that is pre-prepared and just waiting to be thrown on the salad. I had the wild rice soup and it came out room temperature and was a little salty. The kids grilled cheese was great according to my daughter. Our server Eunice only stopped by to refill water and drop the check. I would've expected something a little friendlier from a place giving such warm bookstore cafe vibes.
Destinee Douglas: This was a really nice place ! As you wait too can check out their book store . Had so many different wonderful and colorful books. We sat at the bar so we wouldn’t have to wait . We had ebony as our waitress. She was very sweet . As you can see in the photos there are two pics of soup. Norge the same ( wild rice vegetable soup) but one is a cup and one is a bowl! If you get the bowl you’ll likely be full before you even get your entree. But the soup was delicious and flavorful ! I definitely recommend that. Then I ordered the shrimp and grits ! Absolutely delicious. & I love how they has asparagus in it . Never had shrimp and grits with that in it. The shrimp were big & it was a nice portion . My friend got the chicken and shrimp pasta . It was kind of spicy but good as well! We both ordered their orange Juice too and you definitely want to because it’s really fresh. It gets made right in front of your eyes with a machine they have at the bar . Literally squeezes the oranges 😆 My cousin ordered a burger . Didn’t get a chance to take a pic but it was good . Last but not least we topped it off with their desert . A banana pudding I think with ice cream. It was good 😩 we were stuffed ! Lol
Peter Schwarzenbach: Good spot for a cozy breakfast. Prices are a bit steeper than expected but friendly wait staff and prompt courteous attention was always offered. My eggs where a tad overcooked but by no means bad. Would recommend for a unique and tasty experience
Aditi Rajvanshi: This place has amazing fresh food available at an affordable price. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options as well! Would definitely recommend if you love flavorful breakfast.

Trident Booksellers & Cafe: what do users think?
Sweta Basundhara: This is a perfect place for book lovers and foodies. It does get very crowded and noisy but food and books are worth it. I went for brunch on a weekend and ordered ricotta stuffed french toast with blueberry syrup, iced mocha, chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. The food was yum, decent coffee and quick service. The stuffed french toast was perfect and very filling. Browsing through aisles of book, the colorful stairs with book names make this cafe and bookstore worth a visit.
Kyna McGill: great place to grab a bite and a book! really enjoyed my coffee here, have a unique and delicious menu. would totally recommend exploring! my partner and I grabbed a couple of puzzles - made for a wonderful weekend!
Dema “DuM DuM”: The place was packed even though it wasn’t a weekend. This made the service pretty slow, but the waitress was nice. The outdoors seating were full so we sat indoors and it was cozy and nice. Tried Lemon ricotta stuffed French toast (couldn’t stop eating) 9.5/10 and Southwest breakfast burrito (was so fulfilling) 9.5/10.
Aditya Nahar: Great spot for a read and eat. Went for a brunch and their food tasted very fresh. The prices are well and reasonable considering being on Newbury St. Plenty of seating available during summers, outside patio available as well. The juices are really fresh, tofu scramble tasted well. The falafal wrap was good as well however could be better if grilled rather than being cold. It’s hard to get server’s attention once your food is delivered. Overall a great place for food and being a book worm. Plenty of books available for purchase and reading.
Mahsa: A very very nice place for buying books and eating breakfast. Food was good. Will go back again for sure. Finding parking is as always an issue in this area, but with patience and luck, you can find 2-hour street parking for a few dollars...:)
Dylan Anderson: Trident was a really neat place.We just stopped in to look at the books and grab a cup of coffee. The lattes we had were pretty good and the bookstore had a wide selection. They had a food menu as well that looked intriguing but we didn’t try any food.
Jennifer Liang: The coffee we ordered came to us lukewarm. Otherwise, it was a nice experience! Love the ambience of the bookstore; its very cosy and whimsical, and has a lot of books and book merch. Would recommend checking out their shelves
Ju: Trident is a must try! Such a cute bookstore and cafe! Very homey vibes here. The cafe offers all day breakfast so it’s the place to be during those late nights at 9pm when you’re craving breakfast foods and want to read your book! Would definitely recommend a visit to Trident Booksellers & Cafe!
Cyrus Rezvanifar: Nice and cozy atmosphere with a bookstore/cafe combination. I tried the cappuccino with apple cobbler. Apple cobbler was home-style and tasty, but the cappuccino was not really good given a similar price to other local places like Tatte. Overall, I would recommend this place for the vibe rather than the quality of the food/drinks.
Kelly Cambridgeport: Trident has an extensive menu and good service. I've been coming here since 1998. Long before the vegetable juices became popular, Trident was a pioneer in offering drinks with freshly juiced kale, beet, carrot, cucumber, celery, etc. This place is the real deal. The huevos rancheros are my favorite.

The Potter's House: what do users think?
Guy Edwards: Wonderful place and people!! Excellent coffee and food. The impressive and diverse selection of books makes it one of the city’s best book shops. It’s support to vulnerable community members through its pay it forward system and other means makes a big difference to many. A real gem.
Jessica C: I’m a regular. No indoor seating, but in exchange you can bring your dog inside. Mine loves going in for attention and treats. I love going in for an iced vanilla latte. The biscuit and honey with goat cheese is yummy. So is the breakfast sandwich. I also like their scones. Their mission is great. I feel good supporting local charity. And they have a great selection of books. Recommended.
Monica Puerto: I don’t know how this place doesn’t have more reviews when it is always bustling. I love the book collection they have here; it skews progressive and activism (what do you expect out of DC?). The food here is very simple but tasty and affordable. There is so much history here in this place as well; it has been around the early days of Adams Morgan which fed the homeless and I believe continues to.
Tamer Mahmoud: Awesome place. Great and unique book selection. I also wholly support their supports for the homeless and the community. That's a big attraction to this place. Their biscuits, egg, and cheese sandwich was absolutely delicious!
Haydar Celik: Very nice place to have coffee, read, and relax. There are books to purchase and I am sure the food is also good, at least they looked delicious. Will come back for lunch and coffee.
Jonathan Chang: I came for the coffee and Mac and cheese. Chill place. The vibe was full of social justice and community. The Batista just came back from a coffee competition and placed 13th in the nation. For a short time he was offering competition grade coffee, a bit pricey but totally it worth it. It was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. That Mac was the last order for the night and totally did not disappoint. It didn't taste like it came out of the box and had a creamy texture. I totally recommend.
Jason Alredge: It was like a library with tables and quite a bit of space. The breakfast food and coffee was good to enjoy.
Kaila Gilbert: Currently one of my favorite coffee shops! Caveat: you can now eat and drink on the patio, but will have to walk 2-3 blocks to go the bathroom (regardless of your ability status or if you are a customer). So that part bummed me out a little; the coffee is a little strong to leave folks hanging like that lol. But, hoping they can open the bathrooms again so you aren't waddling down the street in the middle of your coffee date. Still recommend for pick up and go! Great books, staff, coffee, and pastries. Just not for the pregnant or small-bladdered haha.
Dena Delaviz: This is vegan brekky bowl & sammie. Both yum. The bowl doesn’t have a cheese or bacon substitute so its missing a little umph the carnivorous version prob has.
Peter Liddicoat: Book shop cafe charm. Counter culture ☕, local crispy baby 🥐 (+other pastries, breakfas, lunch, food). WiFi

Teresa Mcgervey: I'll be shameless- this is my sister's bookstore. She and her amazing staff were able to adapt quickly during the pandemic. They are open again and ready to take of you and all of your reading (and chocolate and wine) needs.
Derek Reinhard: Small, locally-owned bookstore with some flair. Very helpful, engaging staff as eclectic as the inventory. Nice touch selling wine, beer and fair trade chocolate, and having brief, "staff pick" descriptions stuck to some books.
Sarah Stubbs: This place is my go-to. The staff is always friendly and helpful, they have an amazing selection, and they even have a great website where you can order books in advance.
Jason Rodriguez: Big fan of this local bookstore. Friendly, courteous staff that gives great recommendations.
Cassie Hurley: The staff suggestions here are fantastic and they have tons of great author events. Street parking out front and free garage parking in back.
Bradford Baldwin: The best independent book shop in Falls Church and beyond. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. This is the place to buy your books!
James Rambo: I stopped by One More Page yesterday to pick up a birthday gift for a friend who is an avid reader. I knew that my friend liked Regency-era romance and literature and Abraham Lincoln. Not only were both employees AND a customer (that I learned was the parent of one of the employees) super-helpful and found exactly what I needed but one of them handed me a LINCOLN ROMANCE NOVEL. For real? That level of exacting efficiency is what you can expect from this shop. Go to One More Page.
Timothy Soong: A great place to find a book to read and some tasty treats to pair with it. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, Rebecca helped me find some fun sci-fi and fantasy books that were just amazing recommendations.
Diane Vogel: Great locally-owned bookstore with a smart sensibility and fun extras like chocolate, wine and reader-oriented gifts. (Fun example - matchbook covers mimicking classic literature.) Sadly they're still closed to walk-in traffic (🤞 hopefully that will change soon 🤞). For now, online ordering is easy and pick up with SD guidelines is prompt & efficient. And remember - - anything you want, whether in stock or not - - can quickly be ordered & in your hands. Don't be fooled by so-called 'convenience' of Amazon or Costco at the expense of our unique local community of booksellers. Pre-pandemic they had a terrific schedule of author talks & were one of my favorite places to browse and stumble on unknown gems. ☀️ SUPPORT INDIE BOOKSTORES! ☀️
Hannah Jordan: This little gem of a bookstore has responded thoughtfully and creatively to covid. Their website is easy to navigate and curbside pickup is safe and well-organized. They organize virtual book clubs as well. Please support this Falls Church and Arlington local bookstore that has supported our community in so many ways through the years--promoting authors, reading and literacy, as well as supporting many local nonprofits.

Third Place Books Ravenna: what do users think?
Frieden Esperer: Third Place Books Ravenna is a classic bookshop. Set in a pleasant Seattle neighborhood, Third Place has an ambiance that exudes both a great emphasis on quality customer service, and a passion for books. The shop is a wonderful setting for browsing titles. Its a great place for children, with a tremendous age-appropriate section guaranteed to delight kids of all ages, and bring smiles to parents' faces. The book keepers do a fantastic job of curating popular new titles, and making certain that there are plenty of all-time favorites to flip through as well. Enjoy your visit and the meal you can get in the adjacent restaurant - Cafe Arta & Pub.
Katie Seaward: Hands down best bookstore. Local independent bookstore; lots of book recommendations from knowledgeable staff, well curated selection of books, gifts, all types of genres very well represented. Excellent selection of used books as well. I’ve taken my hoards of gently read books there many times and been well credited. I would say best in the area as far as how much credit you can earn for used books.
Larry Wall: Nice little book store. Good selection. I love the mix of new and old books. Thier prices on new books are list and thier used books are slightly discounted. They pay fair prices for used books but are very selective. You won't find great deals here but you are far more likely to find something interesting that neither a chain bookstore nor a typical bargain bin used bookstore would have.
Nadine Cooper: Love this shop in every way possible. From the numerous selections of literature, snappy book orders that appear like magic, to the every," one is welcome" kind of feel. I will be back again and again, my whole family loves the experience.
Justin Mumma: very nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly, HOWEVER the prices are extremely high. Like used books around $15-20 and new books around $30. If price doesn't matter to you, it a nice store. But for me, this is a deal breaker. I'm not going to pay $26 for a used book that I could buy for $14 new online. I like those used book stores with $5-10 each books. Too pricy
Terran Wheeling: Hadn't been in this building since it was the PCC a million years ago and it is unrecognizable. There is a restaurant in the back! Third Place Books, Ravenna! I live closer the the LFP shop but this might be my favorite local independent bookstore chain. Waldenbooks (do I sound like I've been living in a cave?) it ain't and I'm grateful.
Alice Crowe: Decent selection, nice ambiance, decent masking while we were there. Has a nice little coffee shop with vegan offerings, but they were out of lemon tea.
Sarah Alexander: Came to check out the coffee shop and was wow-ed by the book store. Ended up getting a book to go with my coffee. Also they will buy used books from you, how cool is that?
Kent H: Nice place and peaceful. The staff are very friendly. There are a lot of new and used books with various kinds. The café in the bookstore is a good idea to work and study.
RYAN ILSOO JEONG: Nice place with coffee shop & very kind and helpful clerks. A lot of books are well codified according to new books and used books. Plus, you can sell your used books here.

Ada's Technical Books and Cafe: what do users think?
Ashwin Menon: A really great hidden gem in Capitol Hill! Has the best technical books out there - ones you wouldn't normally find in a coffee shop like effective c++, etc. Also has Arduino and electronics related items and lots of puzzles that you can attempt. An absolutely delightful place! Will definitely be coming back here (& often)!
Z L: Very nice little place! Great decorations and good selection of technical books. It does get quite busy over the weekend. Very careful with Covid protocols and will remind you if your mask is off and you aren’t drinking.
Ruby Morales: So glad Ada's Technical Bookstore is still in business. I stopped by early on a Sunday morning recently and had "the most amazing breakfast burrito" ever! They also have a wide variety of tasty, artisanal bakery goods and very competent coffee. The staff are nice. *This is the type of community space I wish existed on the east side.
Chase Herzog: They need to relax their “masks between biting in food, and in between sips” policy, especially 1 week before indoor mask mandates are about to end. I was actively drinking my last sip of coffee and was rudely interrupted by the staff to put my mask on. I was a single person, not talking. My breath for 5 seconds doesn’t travel and infect the whole room. Maybe open a window? This is a coffee shop, not a concert hall. They lost a potential local customer that just moved to the neighborhood. They were so nice to me as I entered too. Good coffee and pastries too.
Sarah Alexander: Really great spot for the curious mind. Lots of great books and activity sets for gifting purposes. Great coffee! Also their kitchen closes pretty soon and there are only a few empanadas left after 4 PM - totally recommend the Potato Galette.
Natalie B: My drink was really great and my husband enjoyed completing the puzzles that were out. However, the shop was very loud from both customers and staff. Not what I would expect for a coffee/book shop, hard for me to study. Also, baristas cussed loudly a few times with children around which I found to be inconsiderate.
Ariel Stallings: Amazing spot! Great books for browsing, amazing cafe, personable staff, truly a neighborhood gem! If you're really lucky, you'll get to attend an event in the lab, the private event space out back.
David Hirning: One of the coolest bookstores in Seattle, with a bent toward science and creativity. I used to come here as a kid when it was Horizon Books, so it has a great legacy to live up to. It does that and more. Tasty food and coffee too!
Raven: Super cute place! Coffee shop + bookstore. They have a room in the back with artificial intelligence (machine learning) and software development books. My happy place! 🌸
Ivory A: This place is a gem! One of the greatest coffee shops in Seattle for studying. Cute little house and cozy indoor. There are about 10 small tables and one large bench table. This place is full with books so it feels like a library here. Open late until 9pm (since lots of coffee shop close early). The coffee is great. They also serve some wine and snacks. Most books here are tech related. Great for study, work, or just reading while sipping a cup of coffee or wine. Lots of outlets on the wall, you can pretty much sit anywhere even if there are no tables available. Staff are super friendly!!

Darvill's Book Store: what do users think?
Mary Rimi: They had a lot of awesome books on display, along with thoughtful reviews and recommendations. We came the week before the lit fest and a lot of books were being highlighted. There is also a coffee shop in the back with excellent drinks. Probably the best cortado on the island. We went a couple of times just for the coffee.
Response: Thank you for the wonderful review Mary! We're very excited about Lit Fest and agree, our coffee is delicious! Hope to see you on your next visit.
Hen Chung: Opened for 35+ years, Darvill’s is an independent bookstore that’s a must-hit stop during every island visit. It stocks all the standards, but their fantastic selection of local island and PNW theme books and magazines will inspire you to explore the area deeper. They have a coffee stand in the back. And the coffee was way better than I expected from a cute spot in a tourist zone. My oat milk latte made with Batdorf & Bronson’s signature blend, Dancing Goats, was fantastic!
Response: Thank you so much for visiting us Hen and for the wonderful review! Hope you can visit us again.
Cassie Hernandez: This is such an awesome and friendly bookstore/coffee place. The coffee was delicious, they have a vsriety of cool items, great books, and the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. One of them, Kelly, was there everyday we went and she was awesome. Thanks for your hospitality!
Response: Thank you so much for the great review Cassie! I'll be sure and let Kelly know. Hope you can visit us again soon!
Jen Scapes: Cute, independent bookshop! Happily surprised by the variety of books stocked (especially gardening specific to the PNW) and art/post cards. The shop was welcoming and well organized - staff doubly so!
Response: Thank you Jen! You touched on all the components that we work hard to achieve. So glad you had a good experience at Darvill's!

Response: Thank you NaShea for visiting us and for the lovely review! Enjoy your books!
Michael Lee: Wonderful local bookstore on Orcas Island. Great selection of books, calendars, trinkets, journals, etc, for a small space. There's even a coffee shop tucked in the back. I buy a book every time I visit.
Response: Thank you for the review Michael! We look forward to seeing you again.
Emily Downey: I walked into this little bookstore and fell in love. Cute displays and the wonderful smell of coffee from the back. Awesome views from the back windows. I had to look at EVERYTHING. It’s magic. ✨ even on vacation with limited suitcase space, I had to support them by buying a book. Loved the bookmarks up front made by local artists. Staff was warm and welcoming. Cant wait to come back some day! ❤️
Response: Thank you for visiting us and for the wonderful review Emily! We hope to see you again soon.
Janina Glovatchi: Great latte/Danish. The coffee shop is at the back end of the bookstore. There are 2 small tables for indoor seating.
Response: Thank you Janina! I agree, our lattes (and other coffee drinks) are great! And the pastries from Roses Bakery are delicious..
Meredith Hardin: Love a local book store, and always try to seek them out when we travel. This one did not disappoint. Lovely local items and a fantastic selection of books. Support local bookstores!
