A literal perfect book store! I would trust Emmalie with my entire TBR. There are book recommendations all over the store, beautiful displays, incredible selections, and SO CUTE. Cant wait to go back!

This is a wonderful locally-owned bookstore located in downtown Grapevine. The staff is helpful and friendly and they have great events too. Love supporting brick and mortar bookstores like this!

I have visited both locations and LOVE them both! They are well stocked with a variety of genres for adults and kids. Super cozy as well. I can't wait for the wine and coffee bar to open at the new location! It would be a fun place for a book club meetup! I specifically went looking for Heated Rivalry recently and was pleased to find it right when I walked in! None of the local B&N stores carry it (only online). I'm not sure if that's by choice or happenstance, but I'm proud to support a local small business instead! Staff are always friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning!

I was quite excited to discover that there is now a bookstore in this downtown grapevine stretch — it’s off the side street, without an entrance to Main Street, so it’s easy to miss if you don’t know it’s there. Love the unique set up of the store as a new books/gift shop setting on the first floor with a used books/hangout space on the second floor, complete with free to make for yourself keurig coffee (it is becoming rare these days to find a business like this that is both a store and a welcoming third space type of place). The building was converted from an old bank building and it’s cool to see that preserved history in the building as well. Definitely a hidden gem that should not be passed up when exploring downtown Grapevine. Will definitely be a top stop for me on all future visits to the area.

We loved the atmosphere and vibe of the bookstore!!! Corey was very welcoming and helpful. The second floor has a kids area for them to play with toys and board games. You can find your books while your kids play for a bit, it's a great place for families!!! 100% recommend you come check them out!

I was at the Alchemised midnight release party and had the greatest experience ever! I was very anxious to go but the worker was the sweetest person ever and i had the best time and got the best deal for my friends who didn’t have the book yet! Such a wonderful experience!! This is my first time at the bookstore but i’ll definitely be back!

We really enjoy this bookstore and stopped by on a very special day after having dinner. My daughter turned 25. She is a lover of books and of course she picked out one of her favorite books. We always enjoy browsing this bookstore. They have one of the best selections and we visit a lot of other bookstores and this one is always one of our favorites. The employee there even participated in a special happy birthday surprise for my daughter. She sang to her as she entered the door and I was hiding behind a bookshelf. The bookstore is always comforting and I highly recommend visiting this darling little store on Main Street. Emmalie you’re wonderful! The stores lucky to have you for sure!

I really loved this book store, it is so cozy and has a great selection of books. They have a little nook underneath the stairs for kids to read and the upstairs is so welcoming for big kids. The upstairs has games and couches it is well thought through. This bookstore i feel like is trying to get people to fall in love with books again instead of always being on the phone. The staff is really friendly, they were so kind to my kids and me. I highly encourage everyone to stop by and support a local business.
