Absolutely adorable little book store. Amazingly huge selection of books for its size! A great resource for LGBTQ books. Adorable stickers and queer culture merch. Folks were very friendly and helpful. It was a great experience and I'm glad they're in the neighborhood!

Love Always here! Great store with great selection- books for all ages and identities! They are genuinely nice people, super community oriented, and so so helpful. I love their fun sticker selection too! My partner is a teacher, so we come in to expand their classroom library as well as our own! Highly reccomend!
