“The only problem with this place is that I’m not a millionaire. Every time I go there they have so many good choices that I want to leave with 3 bags of books. Also, Josh is an earth angel and such a wonderful bookseller. He understands the customer and makes the perfect recommendation every time.”

“Honestly, I can't believe it's taken me this long to leave a review. Reading in Public is my favorite local business. Friendly and helpful staff, relaxed environment, delicious coffee, and a wonderful mission. Did I mention the beautiful space? You can tell the owner went to incredible lengths to ensure a gorgeous and welcoming environment. Even if I'm not looking for a new book (which I almost always am), I love coming in during off hours to work, drink coffee, have a chat with the barista, and enjoy the space. They also have really great merch from talented illustrators, candles, magnets, office supplies, etc. I'm so proud to have this unique and inclusive space in our community. I always bring my out-of-town friends to Reading in Public. I can't wait to see what else this wonderful shop does for West Des Moines.”

“There's no pressure to leave which is sometimes found in other stores. You can take your time, the Starbucks is also not too far in and just right. Price wise, it is on the pricy side of book stores, but you'll find nice and crisp books (usually), which make good gifts.”

“Despite the place going down hill from what it used to be with items sold.I always come out filled with positive energy.The staff are always decently familiar with the craft. Just not of the local active covens.Last time I went I was drawn by a guiding force to just take me there. I wanted a certain candle didn't have the money for it. But was blessed to observe a reading being performed.The blessings of the Lord and Lady, the sweet woman whom was having her tarot reading performed bought me the candle.I say this was always my no 1 go to place for items locally "Craft" related.As a 3rd degree I can't say enough positive things about this store.I remember it was ran by a Coven when It was over by the blazing saddle.May the Lord and Lady bless all who come into the store.”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Calypso at the Jordan Creek Town Center and it was an absolutely delightful experience. This store is a hidden gem for anyone who loves puzzles and unique gifts.The highlight of my visit was discovering a beautiful 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle, which I picked up as a Christmas gift for my spouse. The selection of puzzles at Calypso is impressive, offering a variety of themes and difficulty levels that cater to both novice and experienced puzzle enthusiasts.What really stood out to me was the quality of the puzzles. The one I chose had vibrant colors and a clear print, promising hours of engaging fun. It's not just a puzzle; it's a work of art that I'm sure will be cherished.The store itself has a welcoming and cozy atmosphere, making the shopping experience even more enjoyable. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering recommendations without being pushy. Their knowledge about the products added a personal touch to the shopping experience.I highly recommend Calypso to anyone visiting Jordan Creek Town Center. Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift or a new puzzle for yourself, this store is sure to have something that catches your eye.”

“This was one of the best bookstores I've been to for a school of its size. Had a great selection of clothes AND novelty items. Came home with a nice bobblehead of Griff! The quality of apparel that was offered was pretty top notch. With the exception of maybe larger sizes, there should be no problem finding anything you're looking for or maybe didn't know you were looking for there!”

“I just went back to school in the fall of 2021 and the staff was very helpful in finding the materials that I needed for my classes. Only downside is that text books run out fast, so get yours as soon as you know your required materials.”
