2648 Main St, Brewster“A new find for a book loving, card loving, gift loving, kid-book buying person like myself. Really love the place. Full of good finds, staff picks, local themed books and gifts. It will be a regular place to go to find treasures and tomes.”
“Wow! This place is awesome! It literally feels like you are walking into some type of alternate reality where magic exists! I was half expecting a bunch of fairy's to flutter out from behind one of the leather bound books. Perhaps a knight was about to ask me to aide him in a noble quest as I turned a corner into the fantasy section. This store oozes with the authenticity and wonder that has now been all but lost to the realm of modern book stores. It isn't the size of a mega book retailer, but that's a good thing. There aren't people shouting for muffins and coffees as an employee frantically restocks blue rays and a group of teens walk by - cackling at the nudity in a book of classical renaissance paintings. This store is lined wall to wall with books. It is also put inside what appears to be the mansion of some old sea captain! Perhaps it was the entrance hall to his dwelling on Cape Cod of long ago. The air smells of fresh lavender and crisp library paper - a subtle node of sea salt lingers as well. There is also lots of cool new age stuff and fun metal jewelry and crystal. This place is like a witch and wizard watched "page master," and decided to move to Cape Cod for a simpler life. The prices are phenomenal, the selection is CRAZY big, and the woman working the cash register was quite possibly the sweetest person I have ever interacted with. Usually I would say "support this small town business" but this time I'm saying "DONT MISS OUT!" Because it's that good!! Happy hunting y'all!”

46 Main St, Orleans“The Sea Howl has a wonderful selection of books, including a section filled with works by local authors and others dedicated to local lore. The staff are always helpful and friendly. They also have a small cart near the checkout with some gently used books for purchase. The Sea Howl is tucked between some other great shops if you have other errands to run. I love that the health food store is right next door.”

1069 Main St, Brewster“I had an awesome experience here just yesterday. Village toy store has a great variety of toys, covering a whole range of ages; I even saw some board games that adults would like. The toys here are more money than places like Walmart, but they are good quality meant to last. I was impressed with the selection! The owner is very nice, too. We had a good conversation and she was kind enough to include a free train whistle for my son.”

140 Main St, Wellfleet“Nice little bookstore. It's very small but cozy and has a decent collection considering how small it is. The staff was friendly too. There's an old patio behind the store that would be amazing if it was renovated and made into a cozy outdoor spot to sip a coffee and read a book. Just be careful parking here; it's very cramped and there isn't a lot of visibility when backing out into the street. Would love to check this place out again when I don't have a toddler distracting me!”

50 Kendrick Ave, Wellfleet“I will definitely be back for the fantastic food and the friendly service. I recommend the dinning room upstairs for a great view. I will have to go back also to see the bookstore which wasn't open yet.”
“Paraclete Press is such a wonderful place, both in terms of ordering books and how they work with authors. I created recipes for author Woodene Koenig-Bricker’s “Dinner Party With The Saints”. Everyone at Paraclete Press has been top-notch. We’ve been blessed with a hard-working, talented and supportive team to help promote the book. I also ordered books from them and was impressed with their great communication, fast shipping, and bonus: sliding bulk discount. Just a fantastic organization.”
