This place is great! We're in town for a week and needed something new to keep my 3.5 year old entertained and some activities for the 5hr return trip. We got some adorable dress up clothes & jewelry and a few art activity sets. The brands they carry are exactly what I was looking for. We also got my 9 month old niece a toy that she is completely enamored with. We will definitely return next time we visit.

I have never left a bad review but after seeing that the owner was rude to more than just me, I decided best to share before others attempt to enjoy this space only to be horribly disappointed. Before you venture to this store with a baby (if you even still think it’s a good idea after reading the reviews) please know there is no accessible way to get a stroller into the store. There are only big metal stairs at the entrance that are complicated to maneuver. The woman/owner was so incredibly rude about absolutely everything, I left under 2 minutes of entering the store. Great store in theory, but until it is run by someone who is as kind as the name of the store suggests it should be, I cannot recommend going at all.

We were greeted by the owner/store clerk (an older lady). After being in there about 2 minutes we were asked if we needed help. She was told we were just looking but would let her know and thanked her. Within 2 minutes or less she accused my daughter of taking a picture of a book we had planned on purchasing for a baby shower. Being accused of something that was totally far fetched gave me a bad feeling and I now felt like we were being harassed. There were other customers in the store, however she chose to ignore one particular one and took notice to another couple as well. She then proceeded to ask again what we were looking for and asked if we needed help. She did proceed to provide suggestions for the age preference we told her we were looking for. We ended up leaving and not buying anything due to the constant questioning 🤨. The store would have scored better if we could have shopped without having constant interruptions when we clearly indicated we were looking and would ask for help if needed.

Really cute store but the store clerk/ owner was a little rude. Not only did she continuously look at and “check on” me and the other Black couple in the store, but she then came up and accused me of taking pictures of her books when I was looking up a store location on Google maps. Despite finding a few items to purchase, we ended up leaving due to the customer service.

Very cute bookstore with a lot of options for your tot. It's not gigantic, but I think that adds to the appeal. Stop by if you're in the area. The woman (owner??) there was extremely pleasant with me and my toddler.
