Ivy Bookshop

This is a lovely, cozy bookstore with very knowledgeable staff and a warm, tranquil ambience. When we entered the bookstore, a few fellow readers were at the billing desk, talking about ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ and the bookseller had an additional, detailed recommendation for a similar, older, (and what sounded like a) beautiful book, ‘A Sand County Almanac’ by Aldo Leopold. He placed it in context and told its story so well, I was inspired to get the book (they didn’t have it in stock, so elsewhere). I really appreciate such bibliophilic conversations and was particularly happy I was witness to this one. The only danger here is getting lost in the stacks once you enter. Definitely one of the nicest bookstores I’ve been to in the US!

Hard to rate a book store less than 5 stars since they are so noble, but I enjoyed the place. I should have taken a picture since the first first one they pops up on here is the store front of their old location (hopefully that will get updated). It was cute inside and the worker was really helpful. Unfortunately didn’t have the book we were looking for at the time but they offered to order it for us.

This place was so sweet! I loved this shop. They had lots of indie, BIPOC, and LGBTQA authors. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The shop was set up comfortably with plenty of space between shelves and lots of windows with natural light. I will definitely be coming back!

Excellent selection of poetry in a beautiful building - one of the most charming bookstores I’ve ever seen. Very nice staff

Excellent local book shop, pictures are of books on my "to buy" list after my first stop in and getting a short stack! Raided their 50% off selection outside plus got a book I wanted when Ivy was at a convention I was at, excellent customer service too! Get there early, always a crowd!

One of my fav bookstores in a city full of indie bookstores! Beautiful building + grounds so it’s always a pleasure to visit and stay awhile. Helpful and friendly staff; they’re always ordering books for me when they don’t have a title in stock. Super children-friendly space, inclusive and comfortable atmosphere. Great loyalty program! My punch card definitely keeps me coming back!

This is a terrific small business w/ a great selection of book and helpful staff.
