I loved it spent time browsing and grab a while stack of new books for my continuing horde of books loo. The shop keep was so nice and offered a tote for me to carry all my new book babies home.Love how they had photos of previous book signings and even signed copies as well, both new,old and all genres are here.

Fantastic bookstore with an great layout and little reading rooms to really enjoy the experiences. Great variety of books/topics for just about everyone.

I found this book store via Instagram promoted by another well known yogi advertising for signed copies by the author of The Witchs Heart. The price they were selling the book for was reasonable, and I was excited to receive a book that I could add to my collection. I ordered this book online seeing is I live out of state. When I received my book the box it was shipped in looked like it was sitting in water. I wasnt concerned as of yet since I figured the retailer would take the proper precautions in packaging the novel with care. Upon opening the package they had not! My book was soaked through and the binding was starting to rip apart. So this novel that I purchased hoping it could be of some value down the line was completely ruined. I emailed the company letting them know that I wasnt seeking a refund but more than anything to save future grief and package their merchandise with better care. After several days with no reply I decided to write this review since there was no attempt in seeking to rectify the matter on the companys part. I recognize this is a small business and that they have a struggle on their hands dealing with big-box retailers. It makes me sad to see that there was no efforts in better customer service on their online platform. It is THEIR JOB to make sure that their merchandise is packed with care...we all know the couriers are just concerned with getting the package delivered no matter what condition it seems to be delivered in. That is a couriers job to ensure the package is delivered (although we would like for them to be more considerate in the care of the package)! The packaging is the responsibility of the company sending it! It would have cost no extra to place the book in a plastic sleeve, ensuring that it would have been protected from any exposure to anything along the way. I cannot speak for how the business is in person, but I am very disappointed that they seem to lack basic customer service skills when it comes to their online shoppers.3/1/21After posting the original review, the book store contacted me shortly after and rectified the matter by sending me a new copy of the book with better packaging. I do appreciate that they at least take into consideration the reviews on their company and will try to make an effort even fixing certain matters if they can.

I love bookstores and wish there were more of them! This one has a wonderful character and vibe with books well-organized and merchandised throughout several rooms. They offer a curated selection of new and used books. Id like to offer customer-service training to the employee at the front desk. He did not greet me upon entering and was unfriendly while transacting my purchase. Overall, Id give it 4 stars because it hits the mark on so many other levels.

This is the Best Bookstore Ever!! They go out of their way for their customers and they have a good variety of books.I cant thank Jonathan and his staff enough!!I highly recommend this bookstore!!

Such a nifty, unique, and wonderful shop. Their collection is large, diverse, and eclectic. The staff was polite, friendly, and kind. Overall it was a great find!

Very clean and organized. Small but well represented sections. Cashier was super friendly.

I get to visit this bookstore every year for YallFest and its always an absolute delight.

Interesting books available and Im sure they could get you whatever you wanted if you ask.

I was excited to find a used book store in Charleston! This is a really cute store, with a variety of books both new and used. I specifically came for the used childrens books, which I didnt find many of. However, they did have some very rare used vintage classics. The prices were a bit high, in my opinion, but I still recommend the store. It is definitely worth a visit if you love books!

I love bookstores! I walked in to this one and almost automatically walked out. I asked the clerk a question. She didn’t understand me, so I pulled my mask down so she could understand me. She rudely told me to put my mask back on. I wasn’t anywhere near her. Then when I asked my question, she answered as if I had bothered her. I turned around and walked out!!!What an unpleasant experience!Wont EVER be back!

Just started working downtown and stumbled upon this beautiful shop! I was greeted by the sweetest puppers named Toby and a nice gentleman inside. It’s a beautiful space and well organized. Has a great variety, old and new. Bookshops are my favorite places to be in a new city!!! Would definitely recommend and will be back soon!

A great place to pick up a book. The book selection is good and the environment is peaceful. Sarah was super friendly too. She gave us a full tour!

Great book store. Glad to find this place the staff and the selection are fantastic.

Quaint bookstore with some used and plenty of new books to choose from, plus a great kids section.

Nice store. Bigger than expected, nice selection.

Blue Bicycle Books on King Street in Charleston is a great book store that seems like more than just a book store with the book buying experience that they are able to offer and the different events that they host. Whether you know the book that you are searching for or just browsing to find something good to read you will find it here. The staff here is wonderful and accommodating and will make sure that you are helped and find what you need. I have had a really good experience every time I have been here and it is well worth the visit and time to come here.

I love the vibe of this place and I love supporting independent book stores. Im so glad this gem is here and I make a point of going here at least once a month.

Fascinating place with good variety, though a small shop. Prices very fair. Love visiting there and finding a treasure to read!

Quaint bookstore with a great area for kids!

As good an independent book store as youll find--amazing actually. Rare and antiquarian treasures, expertly-chosen inventory, and the place is huge!

One of our first stops in Charleston. Very cool and authentic bookstore with creative displays.

A great selection of books to choose from - they honestly have a little bit of everything, including some of the most beautiful and rare collection of books I have ever seen. Dont let the exterior fool you because the store is pretty big and spacious once you walk in. Theres a book for the whole fam in there somewhere - just have to go find it!

The gentleman at the counter - I think he was the owner - was aloof, dismissive, condescending. Very strange vibe in there and not a place I’d like to spend my money :(

Fun little used bookstore with an eclectic mix of material.

Great to have a bookstore in downtown. Great selection, helpful staff and an adorable dog.

Great little book store on King Street. Friendly staff and a nice selection. Wish they had more chemistry books, though!

Such a fun find! If you love bookstores definitely check this place out. Comfortable reading areas, unusual finds, and contemporary favorites. They also host YALL fest every October. Young adult literary fest is a must for YA fans and aspiring writers. SO COOL!!!!!

Most interesting bookstore. Very helpful at desk. An endless selection.

Nice book store. They look for a book for you. And they usually find it. Very nice

Really cute place. Good selection and the prices are reasonable!

The best local bookstore weve been to! So cool and such a great space! Go check it out!

Lovely little bookstore in downtown Charleston. Great childrens book and cookbook selection, among others. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Also fairly priced totes and tee shirts available. Definitely worth a visit.

Great local and rare boks. Cozy atmosphere.

I enjoyed browsing here. It has a good selection of new books and used books of interest to collectors. It has an entire section devoted to Charleston and South Carolina. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is because it is a bit small and limited. It is still worth the time to visit especially if one is looking for that needle in a haystack. Its possible that this store has it.

Wonderful! Super clean and nice. The staff is quite friendly. Great atmosphere for a bookshop

Great time at YallFest! Thank you Blue Bicycle Books!

They got the Books! Have quiet corners to sit, cozy. Friendly staff but no imposing.

Great selection of books

Stopped here on our southern state road trip. Decent prices on books, nice staff. The kids section was very nice looking, and it had a variety of interesting odd books. Peaceful atmosphere, although its not the sit and stay awhile type of bookstore we usually go to. Would recommend!

Not mainstream. Lovely place and staff. Rather than expecting to find a specific author, expect to come and browse for something new and different.

Great small bookstore downtown. The selection looks well curated. Looks like it support local authors energetically.

Neat bookstore!

Cool bookshop with lots of small rooms. The local authors section is large and has great books on Gullah history. Strong but tiny contemporary poetry selection.

This has very quickly become one of my very favorite bookstores, primarily because of the tremendous Young Adult book festival they host each fall called Yall Fest. We went last year, and it was incredible - so well organized, very fun and just an all-around great time. My girls got so much out of it and so did I. Ive also gone to Blue Bicycle when its not Yall Fest and loved it then, too. This is a must-stop in Charleston.

The young lady working in there was very rude.

Amazing selection and prices! Definitely a place to petal over to if you like a good book store

Such a cool place. If you love books youll just have to go there to see for yourself.

Dont let the size of the storefront fool you. BIG store. Very cool.

BBB has a really neat book selection, and the people who work there are really helpful and friendly. The only reason I leave off a star is because I just really miss its old look with the exposed wooden beam ceilings. I feel like it gave it a cozy but adventurous type feeling, like you never knew what you may find on the shelves. But it is still very nice inside, just a little bit more formal.

Love their YALL Fest. I also love to frequent independent book stores and this is no exception. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The store is deceptively bigger than you might think. The background music is welcoming and I can stay here for hours.

Very nice local bookstore. Friendly staff. Good selection of used books. Good prices. I was very impressed.

So many great local authors! Lots of signed books! New and used.

Lovely little store, great local selection.

Great variety and plenty of personality. Articles about the owner, local books about Charleston, reading and writing club sign ups and more. Pretty much the opposite of your big box retail book stores with no life.

Love going here each visit to Charleston to check out the local authors section!

Was such a great spot for unique finds! The store is much larger than it looks and has an AMAZING collection.

A great combination of both new and used books. Small, but obviously well cared for. Fascinating selection! Really nice staff. Also, I love that they host YallFest every year.

Loved this little bookstore. They did a great job trying to keep inventory low so you dont get overwhelmed by the volume of the volumes 😉, but it did feel a little sparse in some sections like religion. Great atmosphere too!

Great bookshop and worth the stroll from the other quaint shops in Charleston! The collection is wonderfully curated, the layout is charming, and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

Books, books, and more amazing books! Its cute and cozy so take a look at it and enjoy a day downtown

Awesome local used book store in downtown Charleston. Fun to browse and see what new books you find. Even have rare books on hand. Its lots of fun to swing in and see what you find.

Best damn little independent bookstore in the lowcountry.

They have all kinds of signed copies of books! Great independent bookstore!

One could spend hours in this place (and I would have, if I were traveling alone). The selections are delightful, the decoration is beautiful, and the staff are wonderful. BBB is the best shop I wandered into in Charleston, and I will always recommend it to friends who visit the Holy City.-NG

If you are walking around Marion Square in Charleston you owe it to yourself to immerse in the magic of this timeless used book store. Complete the feeling of the old world and the new one meshing together by getting a vintage print of some obscure treatise on the natural discoveries of the east coast from the 18th century.

Cool and trendy. And have tons of signed stuff. Not a complete collection at all bit still cool. Worth stopping in

Always something interesting & unexpected. Local, rare & secondhand books. Recommended.

Not enough used books. All a bit pricey. Desk attendant was not griendly or attentive. Did not make the impression of being very knowledgeable. There are more enjoyable bookstores.

Disappointed in the lack of selection. Most used books are priced as high as new books. Staff seemed unavailable.

Went to make a purchase and upon going to checkout was advised by the clerk oh, I havent had a chance to reprice those yet so the price on the book is not correct. The price went from $24 to $75 because its out of print, yet a stack remains on the shelf for $24. The counter is not the place for the price change, the shelf is. Ill stick with Mr. Ks where the price is clearly marked on the shelf and doesnt change at checkout.

Very nice book selection and very friendly staff.

Really great bookstore! Its not a book warehouse type place with everything thats ever been written, but the selection is passionate and thoughtful, and its a great place to browse.

Great book shop with friendly staff.

The staffs are so nice and friendly and they have a wide selection of books and the store is very well organised.

Grezt place tons of used books great service

Highly recommend this book store! It has everything!

Cute place with lots of old and new books. Great for someone who wants to know about Charleston.

Very fun to look into, had some really old collectable books and a good variety. Peaceful atmosphere

Cute local shop with fantastic selection and friendly staff

Bookstores tend to be underrated these days but we get lost in them. Its nice to be able to get the smell of paper back and leather bound books when you walk through the door.

Chill bookshop in downtown Charleston. Theyre going for a neat and organized almost minimalist aesthetic here, which fits in with the area. If youre expecting the old stereotype of a musty and cluttered book den a la Neverending Story, this isnt it.

Cool bookstore with wonderful layout and great staff!

Support your local book dealers, this place is charming!

Best bookstore ever! New books and old books, some even dating back to the 1800s and in great condition!

The best indie book shop in the south!

I wish they had a larger kid section but the adult and local offerings were wonderful

Super cute place with an awesome book selection

This is a very unique, quaint store with reading nooks and a wonderful selection of books.

Just the best little bookstore in Charleston! If you want books on the area, best sellers or something more esoteric, this is your spot!

Great selection of books and a few relaxing atmosphere. I would gladly spend a bit more on their used books then order online to keep them from turning into another restaurant.

Cool atmosphere, good selection, decent prices.

Cute store

Great little bookstore with a heart

Super cute book store with a wonderfully diverse collection to peruse.

Great used bookstore. Fantastic selection. Dogs allowed inside.

Such a lovely shop with so many interesting finds!

Interesting shop. Good for a leisurely browse.

A nice little book hub, with book recommended frequently. I even got cupcakes the first time I went in!

Awesome place. Lot of rare items
