Review from Google · view on GoogleFirst time in the shop today and it has a great environment, the owner Charlie helped me pick out some new reads like Absolute Wonder Woman which i can’t wait to read! They also have a lot of local artists on the walls you can buy. For sure going to be coming back, great shop and community!
