“Had no idea this store existed (to be fair, I rarely venture to Eastern Market and had not been south of F St in years) but I am so happy it does. A great selection of books from every genre. Heavy focus on LGBTQ+ authors and stories but they don’t limit themselves to that at all. And the employees are very kind and helpful to boot.”

645 Pennsylvania Ave. SE #100, Washington“I found this bookstore via their website. They are one of the few independent bookstores that actually allows you to order directly from them on their website (others redirect you to a book warehouse website that shares profits with the bookstore you shop at but takes some too).They only had one of three books I was looking for in stock, but allowed me to order the others. The books only took 2-3 days to all come in and I received notifications via my preferred contact option. It was so convenient and seamless!I went to the store on a Sunday to pick the books up. I was greeted immediately by a member of their team. She had my books ready and waiting. We talked about one of the books and others … which prompted my sister to start browsing and she found three books for herself ?. This is a lovely bookstore with a good selection, friendly staff, and was a great experience online and in store. I will be coming back for my future book needs!”
“The location is in the middle of a shopping strip. It’s a normal sized book store with the regular offerings. There is a Starbucks inside. I think the store has a bit of a weird lay out, but it is clean and the employees were polite and helpful.”
“Bought a neighborhood map of Seattle from their shop in the downtown DC Christmas market and it's now happily hanging in our kitchen. Given how picky we are about art and how long it takes us to get art up, that's saying a lot. The style and colors are perfect and it's a great way to remember other parts of our lives. My only complaint is that they don't have more maps to buy. As somebody who lives in the burbs of DC (I know, judge all you want), I had to pick between DC proper or past cities I'd lived in. It would be really cool to have maps of some of the closer in burbs.”
“Today I visited the Basilica of The National Shrine to look for gifts and to enjoy the beauty and serenity of this amazing temple. Of course I spent more time than I intended but it was well worth it. I found out that the gift shop opens at 9:00 am and closes at 5:00 pm. Between the shrine and the gift shop one can easily spend all day.”
“This is a really cool local bookstore that carries a wide variety of options. The staff were nice as well. I do wish they had wifi to connect to because I was trying to access my lists on Goodreads to narrow down my selection before purchasing.”
“BOMB bookstore, with an incredible array of Black authors in poetry, history, fiction, kids books, and way more, including gifts (mugs, tshirts, magnets).Very well curated selection with something for everyone. Love supporting a local business and highly recommend to anyone in the Anacostia area.”

1425 University Blvd E #163, Hyattsville“(Translated by Google) Since I moved to the United States, I have asked the Lord for a bookstore that had Christian content in Spanish. And I found the answer when connecting with Rincón Cristiano. Since then, the years have passed and more and more their service and products are of higher quality. May God always bless you and continue to be a light to this society. Blessings. ??✝️(Original)Desde que me trasladé a vivir a los Estados Unidos, le pedí al Señor una librería que tuviese contenido cristiano en español. Y la respuesta la encontré al conectar con Rincón Cristiano. Desde entonces, han pasado los años y cada vez más su servicio y productos son de mayor calidad. Que Dios los bendiga siempre y sigan siendo de luz a esta sociedad. Bendiciones. ??✝️”
“I remember passing this place when I was little and growing up. I took my daughter there a couple of times for mom and daughter time. She loved it so much. She loved the toys and the dress up so much. Great prices as well.”
“Absolutely the best place ever. With inflated prices, I would never even think of getting a book anywhere else. Certainly not through piracy, absolutely not, can you imagine being such a scurvy pirate that you would even *consider* piracy? If so, you need to eat some lemons.”
“Was cool, it wasn't badly busy as it could be on full semester days. This is a day during summer session. Services could be pretty slow cause the cashiers just take their time doing stuffs.”
“great bookstore, lots of options and space is great. there is a coffee and bar area. tables to do some work if needed. staff was great and helpful. its in H street so parking can be challenging but worth a visit! check em out!”
