It's a great bookstore with a nice cafe in the middle. Lots of books at various price points. I like that they have a used section. They service is friendly and helpful.

I ordered an item as a Christmas gift. It was out of stock - a very common occurrence at Schuler Books. I was told to expect a phone call when it arrived. Never heard from the store. I call. It had arrived 12 days earlier. As I could not get to the store before Christmas, I asked for a refund and was placed on hold. After, probably a consultation with the manager (come on, a clerk can't handle this), I was told the item was not refundable. Keep it, I said and disputed, and won, with the credit card company. What pisses me off, is for over two decades I have bought books from Shuler's at a sometimes 50% higher cost than at the large chains and Amazon. You know, to support a local merchant. Two other Shuler locations in Grand Rapids shuttered. With service like this for a loyal customer, a third is on the horizon. Going forward, I will not be a patron of your store.

I do like this bookstore, it's aesthetically very pleasing, the workers are friendly and competent, the selection is good. I had a couple of somewhat unusual titles to find, and they found them including the one that had been misplaced by a shopper. Mixed new and used with some local music CDs. Wasn't a fan of the food, but the coffee was good. I only wish I could get it in a proper espresso cup and saucer so I could relax with my purchases and forget that the world out there sucks. Why can't I do that with a disposable cup and plastic cover? Well I just can't. Don't you judge me, I'm incredibly well bred.

A very nice, well stocked store. It was nice to see various editions of classics as well as good runs of series titles. Great displays of new fiction and non-fiction and themed display tables. Extensive used hardcover & paperback selections in good condition and at good prices. There was a nice variety of gift items. Employees were pleasant. Wheelchair accessible with good number of handicapped parking spaces. Cafe looked inviting.

Just went in for the first time last week and I was blown away by this hidden gem! The cafe serves actual food and there was a cozy fireplace. The book store portion is huge and has a lot more than just books. There were fair trade gifts, art, games, new books, and used books. My favourite part was a rack of staff pick used books! Everything is wonderfully curated and is much more interesting than the big box book store down the street.

It's a nice and cozy place to spend some time there. You'll find incredible things book related and other amazing things to look at. Definitely worth visiting. I would like to find more books in Spanish.

I could spend all day here. Love the staff suggestions, it helps me look at books I'd never look at on my own. And all the staff are awesome. We love going to the children's storytimes too. They always have fun activities and awesome characters to meet.

Great bookstore! First time in I was looking for some Stephen King books, they had them all. Gives you a feeling of a large old library. Very inviting place, lots of enthusiasm! Will definitely be going back!

This book store has both new and used books. Books are organized and in alphabetical order. Used books are located in the genres of the new books but separated with labels to know you are in a new versus used section. There are fun items to also browse that will catch your eye and make you wonder what all you might need for yourself or for gifts for others.

Love this shop! Helpful and welcoming staff. They also have a lot of great events, items for gifts, and a huge used book selection! You can drop off used books to sell as well, as long as you make an appointment.

A huge and comfortable store. Easy to browse. Comfy chairs. Had things I didn't even know existed which is still one of the best parts about supporting brick and mortar stores.

This is a really spacious and nice bookstore. I think a lot of the books are used but in really good shape. It's laid out like a Barnes and noble but includes specialty items like music and there was stuffed animal sighting as well. I think they have a cafe but we didn't check it out. I didn't give it the full five because It didn't meet my own personal reading interests. But book lovers should at least check it out!

Vey good store and convenient to buy books. If they don’t have the book you want they can order it for you. Also if you want to publish a book they have a guy who can take care of it. His name is Piere. Very good! They also have a chap book cafe where you can eat drink and so on.Enjoy!

Went to an author talk/book signing and it was awesome. They had a lot of copies of the book and a really nice built in area with a little stage and seating for the author talk. One of the most prepared/put together venues for this I've been to. Parking was easy in the lot outside. Checkout was really fast as well and having the Cafe area was nice. Could use more squishy reading chairs but that seems to be a thing at all bookstores these days
