I love this bookstore! It is right off the Path train stop. They have a great selection of books and if you can't find what you want in stock they will order it for you.

Great bookstore with a small town vibe. Full of staff recommendations and nice selections of some of my favorite sections. They even have Gluten Free options at their coffee and snack bar, which I appreciate even more! We like this place so much we make a point to visit it every time we're back in Jersey City and have a loyalty card.

I love this bookstore. It's small and the staff are very friendly and very accommodating. If they don't have what you're looking for they'll order it.

Went there for the first time today. I love the wide variety of books that they have and the various sections, for example what has been popular in the city. I also like that they have different monthly book groups. Also a nice variety of other items for purchase (candles, cards, etc).

My favorite bookstore in Jersey City (maybe the only surviving one?). It is sufficiently big and they change the selection frequently enough to almost always find a great book. It's independent and opinionated, with reviews from the helpful staff.

Everything about this shop is wonderful. The book selection, the cafe, and most of the staff are great. I was a little confused by this older white male who came to the front of the store to terrorize my cousin and I last night with a thinly veiled look of disdain. He could barely contain his animosity and watched us like a hawk as we discussed books and journals. He answered my cousin's question about a journal in a tight-lipped manner as if it cost him a hefty price to do so. In fact, I had just purchased a book from one of his coworkers. Not sure what that out of touch worker was doing there. It was unfortunate but not enough to deter me from visiting again. Perhaps he was severely constipated! If you ever read this, I wish you well and hope you find peace, joy and purpose in the near future. Life shouldn't hurt that much! Feel better! We still enjoyed our visit very much.

Great staff. There's a couple of them where I've developed an inside joke type of friendly banter with. Others have also helped greatly with book selections. (IE I had gone in once looking for Franz Kafka shorts. Person checking me out told me about the more extensive collection they had in stock that I had completely missed seeing. Ended up buying that instead of the one I initially picked up.)

Great little shop with a wide selection of adult and kids books. The staff are very friendly, too! Today I ended up spending some time there with my 2.5 year old son, reading books and having vegan desserts, while it was raining outside. We enjoyed it very much!

It's always nice and warms the heart to see a thriving independent bookstore! I went around the holiday season and it was incredibly packed and lively, but a nice reprieve from the blistering cold outside. Wish I had more time to peruse the stacks and all the little tchotchkes they had on display. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again!

A very quaint and inviting place, snuggled in a clean and lively neighborhood.
Here you'll find a friendly and knowledgeable staff ready to serve you a wonderful cup of coffee, or assist you in finding a good book.
This cafe/bookstore is impeccably clean inside and outside. (I enjoy the outside seating).
I highly recommend, and give it 5 stars!
