“I love, love, LOVE this bookstore! It’s so beautiful with amazing offerings and the cafe attached has some great food/drink options too. I’m always looking for opportunities to support independent bookstores and this one definitely takes the cake! I was working in the area only temporarily but joined the points program anyway because I certainly hope I’ll be back!”
“I come here all the time because I have an unhealthy addiction to making my tbr cart way too full and the staff is super friendly and they have a good selection of books. I love cards unlimited in shadyside as well but I tend to always come here more because the selection is always bigger and I walk out with a new book 90% of the time I visit. They have stuff made my local artists, notepads, cards, etc as well so it’s a good place to stop for gifts too”
“A well hidden gem! They are a warehouse that sells books online. However, there is a door on side of the building for buying books on site. It’s cash only and you have to know what you’re looking for. They will grab it for you while you wait.I purchased a hardback cookbook that sells for $30 + . Mint condition. I paid $5.00.I believe this business is family run/owned. Very friendly and helpful staff.”
“In this digital age of e-readers, it's always nice to step inside a physical book store. The feel of a real book in your hands, the smell, the sound of the pages turning, the thrill of literally turning over a new leaf.
Oh, this store is also pretty awesome. It's always clean and well staffed. The employees are a joy to interact with, brimming with excitement to share their favorite reads. The shelves are never empty, with plenty to delight your eyes and mind. I love popping in to wander the stacks.”
“Such a cute little store! The owner was super nice and helpful. Very clean and organized. They sell more than just books - I purchased a few fun stickers with a book!”
“Just look around the store & enjoyed the Strawberry Blended Lemonade for my taste of my experience & its Mr, my brother & my dad to come in this location with Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh area during our vacation trip.”
“I visit this store every so often on my way to a mall trip. I'm never disappointed, I can always find at least one book I want and I'll usually be able to find a book that I've been looking for.This is a great place to look for books that are no longer being published. Not to mention that you can find some treasures here and there. I highly recommend this location.”

2028 Murray Ave, Pittsburgh“Pinskars Wine and Judaica in Squirrel Hill a true gem hidden in plain sight.This charming establishment isn't merely a store; it's a gateway to experiencing Jewish culture and spirituality through the rich flavors of kosher wines and the intricate beauty of Judaica.Upon entering, you're greeted not just by the warmth of the staff but by the welcoming glow of menorahs and the rich hues of handcrafted shofars, each piece telling its own tale of heritage and faith. It's as if you've been invited into a cozy living room.The wine selection at Pinskars is the best I found for Kosher wine in all of Pittsburgh. It’s like a curated journey through the vineyards of Israel, France, Italy, and beyond, offering a symphony of flavors that can elevate any Shabbat dinner or Passover Seder into a memorable feast. Whether you're a connoisseur or simply curious.Great selection and great prices. Highly recommend.”
“This store was highly recommended on our tour of Pittsburgh and I can see why. The posted hours do seem to be a bit of a suggestion, but the selection was excellent and varied.”
“Book books books! They have an incredible deal that if you buy three you get one free! I bought some of the most incredible books from the 1900’s still with placeholders and letters inside them. This is not a bookshop you want to skip over, and the employees are very nice, and will help you find what you’re looking for!”
“Went there to frame a painting, it was very nice experience. Was given proper attention and advice on finding a suitable frame. Also there is a 10-20% off based on how many times you have taken the service. I paid about 130 for medium range nice wooden frame for 18x14 painting. More basic options would cost less. They give honest opinion on the pros and cons too.”
“The land of a billion books. If you can't find what you need here, well you'd better get to writing it yourself. They got some pretty awesome candy machines too.”
“Great atmosphere, friendly staff. They have a permanent deal of buy 3 things and get a fourth (under $10) for free. Visited from Chicago and had a great experience”
