Small store so selection was limited. Primary complaint is no seating. Out of their control, but the temperature was also incredibly high.

Small selection of books and hard to find in but the staff will order books you want and if you call them they will tell you how to find them.

Good place to pop into. As a plus, there is a Starbucks and Chocolate shop just steps away.

Love books, love reading. I enjoy this book store because there is always a good sale and the employees are so friendly and helpful. They also have a lot of visiting authors. So nice to have an autographed copy and maybe a handshake or photo.

It's a nice book store but they only have a small section of books that I'm looking for and not enough hardcover books in what I'm interested in the staff is very nice though

This tiny bookstore in the basement of Macy’s rounded out my Chicago trip. It’s such a tiny store, but I still enjoyed it anyway. The basement also has the sweets and wine display plus seating. I can see folks purchasing a book here and then sitting to read and munch on dessert. Overall, very wholesome lil bookstore.

This little shop is hard to find as it is in the bottom of the macy's but SO worth the scavenging!!! The worker I spoke to was so kind and they had a great variety of books and bricabrac! Got this cute little guy there as well as How to be Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi, a book I'd been searching for a while now! Do visit when in Chicago!!!

It's in the basement of the Macy's!! Maybe that's common knowledge but it took me a while to find it. Great store!

Shout out to Cory who exceeded my expectations when a book I had ordered online was not in stock. Cory reached out to the publisher and found out when it would be back in stock, and then offered me multiple options for how we could proceed. This type of customer service is exactly why I love to shop with Barbara’s Bookstores! :)

Had a lovely time here on New Year’s Eve looking for inspiration for my vision board for 2022. Met the manager Chris who was so helpful. Independent bookstores are rare jewel in the lives of real book lovers ?. Will definitely return there often now that I’ve discovered them.
