Absolutely love this store! It's so nice to see independent shops opening on Main Street, and Riverbend is a breath of fresh air for the community. The staff is incredible, they put on so many events and workshops, and have a great selection in their storefront. They can also order any book for you!

The Glastonbury branch of River Bend Bookshop is an independent bookstore I highly recommend for anyone who wants to find their next book! They offer a wide variety of literature ranging in all sorts of genres, such as mystery, fantasy, contemporary fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and so much more. The shop features the works of local authors, which makes it easier for authors to have an event for a new book or a book signing. They also offer books aimed at a juvenile demographic. In fact, they have held events aimed at children, such as their "Where's Waldo" hunt activity and its subsequent celebration that happened back in July. There are also little book trinkets sold in the store like bookmarks and book-themed apparel. I feel that this book shop offers something for anyone who has a love for literature and reading. I suggest that if you are in the Glastonbury area, you should make a trip there and get yourself a new book!

We happened upon this delightful independent bookstore after enjoying a late lunch at the Mediterranean restaurant next door. It's brightly lit and beautifully arranged by theme, with lots of staff pick summaries/comments posted all around. Friendly staff and welcoming vibe. Great book selection of books!

I was denied use of the restroom in spite of being a paying customer. I asked politely, was clean, well dressed, masked, and clearly in need. The owner later vaguely apologized but mostly blame-shifted back onto me while defending her employees and her policy.
