Book Stores near Millbury, MA

“Myself and a couple of other customers before me had a negative experience with the manager of the Cafe department of Barnes and Noble today. She's a heavier set woman (if you know, you know) and often has an attitude in general. Upon checking out and purchasing a couple of items, I happened to have the manager of the store that was on duty (I believe his name was Patrick) and addressed this with him a calm and tactful manner. He was very appreciate of me informing him of this woman's behavior and as soon as he rang up a couple of people behind me, he went right over to the cafe and spoke with her immediately. I really respect managers who actually take the time to listen to a customer's input and do something about it promptly rather than brush it off.

The only reason why I gave four stars for this store instead of five is for how the cafe is ran. Otherwise, the store itself is wonderful and the clerks on the floor were kind today while helping me find a particular book that I was looking for. Hopefully in time, they'll get rid of that woman as the cafe manager and hire someone more personable with a better work ethic.”

“Not simply accommodating, but genuinely thoughtful customer service beyond anything I would have expected. After placing an order online for pickup and becoming sick in the days that followed, I called to see if my book could be delivered. The kind woman on the other line went far, far out of her way to make sure I got a hold of my book. Very glad to have such a great bookstore here in Worcester.”

“The store looks small from the outside and even smaller when you first enter, but that is an illusion. The store is actually quite large and incredibly well stocked! Staff is helpful and the costs were, to me, quite reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised as I even found exactly what I was looking for. I will return!!”

“Such a great place! For a small bookshop, they have a great variety of used books. They also have some new copies of popular titles available. Staff is very friendly and helpful.”

“Booklover's Gourmet is a fun and quirky place. Here's why: Books - There are new and used books, fiction and nonfiction, adult, young adult, and children. Gifts - A nice selection of greeting cards. Some are funny and others touching. A unique collection. Art - Every month there's a new exhibition from some local artist. Nice to view while you're browsing and you can usually purchase your favorites from the exhibit. Music - again, usually a local artist. The setting is intimate, like having someone playing music in your living room. While I haven't taken advantage of the following so I can't speak from experience, you can also find these at Booklover's Gourmet. Snacks - Coffee and various baked goodies seem to always be available. Just like a good bookstore should do. Events - There are writers groups that meet regularly. Also book signings happen occasionally. Bottom line: Booklover's Gourmet is a wonderful community resource that deserves your support.”

“Good assortment of WPI merch but be prepared to spend $70 for a sweatshirt. Check out more sizes and styles online if you don't find what you're looking for.”
