Such a wonderful store! I love taking my friends here when they come to visit. The employees are very kind and helpful and I always leave with something new. Theres a great variety of books, notebooks, calendars, etc. The location is awesome, too! Go support a great local business!

Super cute shop with great staff who knew exactly what I was looking for. Great selection of books from minority authors. Will certainly return.

Awesome place, staff is super friendly and helpful.

Really nice local bookshop was a little hard to find myself around and the employees seemed a little more busy talking between them at the counter so I cant comment much on the customer service but they had a big variety of books in a very nice local that seems like it used to be a old fire station if Im not mistaken.

A nostalgic fun place to buy and look at unique collections.

Great store. Its not a Barnes and Noble size but the books on their shelves are well curated. I never walk out of here empty handed.

My wife ordered a book for pickup, it was ready when I got there and was one of the most simple transactions I have dealt with

Even since being the Book Rack at another location, the best new/used bookstore in town.

Great staff and great selection of new and used books. Highly recommend

Classic FoCo spot, hands down the best bookstore in the area

The employees working were so helpful and kind. We hadnt realized the shop had closed while we were browsing and instead of kicking us out, they let us finish our shopping and didnt say a thing. Great selection of unique books Ive never seen anywhere else. So happy we still have a local bookstore to support!

Good book store in Old Town! Only doing pick up right now, but the employee gave me a good suggestion for a Christmas present for my father. Ordered it on their website instead, and picked it up!

Cute will stocked store in heart of a sweet college town.

Cutest local bookstore and friendliest staff.

I loved my experience here! I found really great books and the staff were helpful and welcoming. I wish I had a bookstore this great in my hometown! Remember to #shoplocal

Nice book store in an old firehouse.

Good covid protocls, good selection, great staff.

Such a cute little bookshop! I really appreciated how proactive the staff was about keeping employees and customers safe. Loved it!

Great selection of science fiction in store and easy online ordering.

GREAT INDEPENDENT BOOK STORE

I normally never write bad reviews about places as I vote with my feet—however this was something worth commenting on for the owners of this establishment.As a local bookstore that isn’t attached to a chain, one would think that you owe it to your customers to provide even a little customer service: asking if there is anything that can be done, answering any questions, really anything at all.I received absolutely zero customer service here. No, “hello,” no “how are you?” Nothing; I walked right past the front desk, looked the three cashiers sitting behind the counter having their own conversation in the eyes, and still did not receive a single greeting.The entirety of my stay as a result was completely uncomfortable—and nothing was helped that said three cashiers loudly continued their conversation about how rude customers were and they were “so busy” when the store was not busy at all. My partner and I were set on buying a couple of things, and they were going to ask the cashiers if they had a particular book in stock, but given the way we were treated did not feel comfortable asking.As we left, we received no goodbyes, either. As a fellow customer service worker I am both extremely disappointed and will not be returning to this store. This is not the atmosphere you should be setting for a bookstore—or any store—local or otherwise.I would give this zero stars if I could.

Darling little book store with a connected tea house. Great place to wander, browse, and chill out. They also have great products if youre looking to buy something fun for a gift.

These guys are awesome. Called 2 other places and they both said they didnt have the book but that Firehouse books DID. Not the first time I have had a local published, hard to find book and OFB was the only place to carry it. Friendly staff, good selection, these guys are AWESOME!

Super store: music cd for few bucks, rare books, interesting findings each time I visit the store. There is great selection of books for any kind. And my favorite- used games.

Quaint little bookstore and a cool location. This independent bookstore exists inside of you guest it an old firehouse. There is a tea shop attached. They hold book readings with authors. The selection was reasonable for such a small store. Suggest calling ahead if youre looking for a specific book.

This is a very comfortable place to go to. There are a lot of books, and a place to sit and read. They are very friendly and courteous. If you are an avid reader, highly suggested that you visit. However, its not a barnes and noble. Simply put, its comfortable, not crazy with people, but very nice place to visit.

Great layout!

The staff were really helpful and knowledgeable. They helped me select age-appropriate books for my kids by local authors. Thanks so much!

I may be a bit biased (because I recently had a mini-signing to promote my book Unkillable Joe at OFHB) but I really loved this little book store! The staff was so courteous and welcoming and the selection in the store itself is awesome. We will certainly stop in anytime we are passing through in the future. Highly recommend!

Great local bookstore. They have a great selection. The thing I like most is their recommendation sections. Their staff picks great books to recommend and writes little reviews of them. Very helpful when looking for a new series.

Best bookstore in Fort Collins, hands down. I can spend hours in here. They have such a wide selection at great prices plus notebooks and other knick-knacks that make perfect gifts. Having it connected to the Tea House also gives it a one of a kind vibe.

A lovely, quaint bookstore! It sells both new and used. Though it appears small at first, it extends VERY far back! It has an excellent kids section with so many options for all ages. My children and I love this place! Its also connected to the tea house next door, Lucky Joes, which is also a neat place.

Great little local bookstore in a beautiful historic location. It is worth going just to check out the building as it is an old firehouse. Staff is friendly and they have a nice selection of local books.

Nice selection of books for its size. The store had that intimate feeling which makes it a nice place to shop than the big stores. I like the local book store experience much better.

Amazing book selection, and there was a really fun setup and easy to navigate. Alot of fun things in general and and an amazing atmosphere. I could have spent hours here just browsing and will most definetly be going back.

Best bookstore in Fort Collins!!!

I can always count on finding the book I need (and many I dont!) here, and I look forward to wandering the shelves and just seeing whats there.From old classics to modern thrillers and everything in between, Old Firehouse has it all! Stationary, notebooks, and you can just step next door for a great cup of tea or coffee.

I really enjoy privately held bookstores. The energy in the store was a mix of eclectic and fun.

Great bookstore in a cool building in an excellent location. Knowledgeable staff. Great selection. Cool events

Pretty much exactly what youd hope and expect from an independent book store downtown. I like the knickknacks and the book-themed clothing, too. Prices are reasonable, but dont expect them to have the newest stuff in stock--they sell out of popular books pretty quickly (but theyll order more for you!). I wish there was more space around to take a seat and read a bit, but thats just because I never want to leave.

Lovely little book store. Great kids section in the back. Staff was amazingly helpful. Dont buy Amazon buy local instead.

Great local bookstore. Staff is super friendly and a great selection of books and other products!

I love the selection here. The store will gladly put in an order for you if you are looking for a special title. Its a charming locale with a diverse selection of titles. If books are your thing careful! You might get lost in the stacks. Stop by even to look, youll enjoy yourself

Love, love LOVE this bookstore! Great variety incredible staff and a happy environment!

Nice selection of books

Fantastic selection of books, always someone to point you to a good read. Can order for you if they dont have it in stock. I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!

Great bookstore in a historical Fort Collins firehouse. This location, along with the adjacent tea shop, used to be Fort Collins firehouse. The building itself has historical and architectural significance and is worth visiting for this reason alone. The bookstore has a great selection of popular books as well as one of the best selections you will find on local Fort Collins books. There is also a great selection of kids books that you will find toward the back of the store.

They have such a great selection of original books. Always a pleasure to peruse.

This is a wonderful independent bookstore in a beautiful historic building which still has the old Firehouse tower where the bell used to be; the tower, to me, is now a beacon beckoning readers to come to Old Town, buy a book, and settle into the next door tea shop, or, into any of the myriad of Old Town coffee shops, or public benches, and immerse in another world. Their book selection is good (and theyre great for stocking our states many authors), the staff generally knowledgeable (one or two less chipper than others), and the layout is open and welcoming to browsers. You can also order any book they dont happen to have, and, Old Firehouse offers discounts on whichever selection your local book club is reading, and usually displays the current read for a number of local book clubs. They also offer reward points to any book buyer which, after a certain dollar amount of purchases, accumulate to enough for a discount on the next purchase. They also sell cards, tee shirts, games, childrens books, etc. I like that they feature several author readings throughout the year, mostly intimate gatherings in the store, but also one or two a year at a much larger venue for a reading by a nationally well-known writer, and, they encourage everyone in town to participate in this annual Fort Collins Reads event. Old Firehouse is such an asset! Theres no reason to support Amazon or other out-of-town entities when you have the full service and ambience of Old Firehouse Bookstore right in Old Town.

Great little off the beaten path book store filled with lots of old favorites and a whole bunch of new books too. Grab s cup of tea and Luckys right next door and enjoy your favorite book.

This local shop is wonderful - great events to get the community involved in reading! The staff is friendly and welcoming and will order any title without shipping charges. I prefer shopping here than going online to purchase books.

Best bookstore in town in my opinion. They have a healthy mix of new and used books, will special order anything you need that they dont have and I love their rewards program! Not like other new and used bookstores that have an overwhelming romance and sci-fi section. They also have a great comedy section!

Great prices and friendly staff. Old Firehouse also does a great job at finding and hosting awesome authors for book signings and Q&As. Love this place!

Very cute place with helpful nice employees. Not a great selection though, I never can find what I want and mostly its new overpriced books. I have found a few gems though. Some cheap used mystery books. I want to like this place more but I just dont.

Best used bookstore in Fort Collins.

Friendly old fashioned store. Great personal attention.

Hey, Fort Collins folks, we have a gem in our city: a vibrant local book store! I cant say enough good about this place. Ill only focus on the people who run the store. Their passion for the written word, their desire to foster a community, and their efforts to support local authors make this a magical place.Come. Browse. Purchase. Read. Repeat. Rinsing not necessary.

Lovely, special gem of fort Collins. Please dont go to snap pics to look up on Amazon later. Its worth supporting places like this who bring famous authors to town (because of them, I met Neil gaiman!)

Great bookstore in a charming location. Highly recommend!

Super cool shop with lots of varied sections. Would spend hours there just chilling. They even have old books that are discounted since theyve been owned before.

Nice character and great books.

I really really like the supply at this store, and overall I think they have fair prices. However, I was not impressed by the staff. I brought my books in for trade, only to have my books be pretentiously mocked. They didnt clearly explain the trade-in process for me either. Essentially you get 10% of your trade-in value off of your new book you would like to purchase. Thanks, that takes care of the tax for me.....Can I have my books back please? I would need to buy like a hundred books before my credit is used up. Honestly, I felt like I just donated my books to store that wasnt very nice to me. I left with a sour taste in mouth. I really really like the store, but I dont think I will be returning for awhile.

Great Local Book Shop. I try and buy most of my books here. Excellent selection for the relatively small space, knowledgeable friendly staff, clean, organized. Next to the tea shop for a great reading spot.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Nice selection of books, calendars, and other items. Beautiful building in an old firehouse.

Went in to buy a book, they didnt have it in store, but I was able to order it through their website. I didnt want to make a special trip to Old Town to pick it up, so I chose to have it delivered for a fee. Logan emailed me and said they were removing the delivery fee and having one of their employees bring it to my door step since I live nearby. You dont get this kind of unexpected kindness from Amazon.

Small store, but they have a great variety of books.

We always enjoy perusing this bookstore. If you have children, dont miss the childrens section in the back.

Best bookstore in town and the only place I will go for books.

A great atmosphere with an awesome selection! Very helpful staff too.

My favorite book store in Fort Collins by far!

Old Firehouse Books is one of those places I keep trying to support but can never find what I am looking for. It is located in an old firehouse in the historic Old Town area of Fort Collins and still maintains the characteristics of such on the exterior. For me, a bookstore should be very inspiring and encourage exploration into new topics and subjects. As much as I try, Old Firehouse Books does not do that. The books they focus on tend to be the popular books out and are usually more expensive than other bookstores. The staff are less engaged than other bookstores I have on my visited list and my husband can attest that there are a lot on that list. Their window displays are typically full of one specific book instead of genres and more often than not, it is a book that I did not like. Old Firehouse Books is a neat historical landmark, but not encouraging for veracious readers such as myself.

Wonderful local book store. Good selection, including some used books.

THIS will be one of my new favorite places.

Great staff. Nice selection of mystery, sf, and fantasy. Good variety of events.

The name is Old Firehouse Books and it is a Bookstore that has primarily new books which are normally priced. The store has a good selection and a handy web page from which I frequently and conveniently order books. They bring in authors for book signings and sponsor activities for book clubs and young readers.

Great selection and staff!

Terrific general store with well-read and informative staff

I love this book store. I go to as many free author book signings as I can.

The Firehouse bookstore is inside a old firehouse. Its a cool little bookstore, with any books you might like. I tend to be a Sci Fi fan, and they have plenty of books and even some signed books.If you are into tea, they are adjoined to a tea shop as well.

Its like kissing a kitten in the belly; the softness of the reward that will come.

Perfect balance between used and new books with the added boost of personable customer service and fabulous ambiance

I love popping into this little store to look around, there are a variety of books and book related items to browse and the staff are upbeat, friendly and knowledgeable.

After three times coming here, being treated terribly, no greeting, and when I ask any questions Im barely acknowledged, and then spoken to as if Im an inconvenience for even asking, Im through! Are you KIDDING ME?!!! I feel sorry for the owner. Robots would do your customer base, your profit bottom line, BETTER.

Small bookstore but good place to browse books. Friendly service. They highlight local authors which is great.

I went here for a friends book signing and the place seemed very nice and had a lot of books.

Support local! Fantastic bookshop always willing to order new releases for hold.

Old Firehouse books is delightful! They have a great selection of books and they are connected to an amazing tea shop!

Excellent bookstore. Really good selection of speculative fiction, puzzles and cards.

They are very supportive of this local childrens book author especially in filling school orders.

Good selection, good service and nice tea shop next door.

Great selection and friendly atmosphere!

Huge bookstore! I could have spent hours in there. Several floors to check out.

Could spend all day here browsing the great selection

Love this place customer service is great selection is great.

I am also surprised by the harsh reviews found here. I have been shopping here for years and have always had great experiences. The book trading policy is reasonable if slightly confusing at first.

Great selection & service!

A Fort Collins staple!

Great store, friendly staff, wonderful book & gift selection.

Always shop local first and if they dont have it they do what they can to get it for you. Theyve even referred me to another store once because my kid couldnt wait for delivery (school project and all)

Great selection, fun gifts, and locally owned. Staff is always helpful.
