We love this book nook! Great selection, cozy, local, personal & welcoming. Very helpful when were looking for books for gifts by age or interest. They are also very good about getting books they dont have in inventory. Support local!

Good selection and reasonable prices. They have both new and used books.

Cute, well organized and clean store. Staff were friendly and helpful. Theres also a small used book selection. Definitely recommended!

This is a really great independent bookstore! Venture inside this cozy little store and your will find its shelves stocked with plenty of great reads. There are reviews and recommendations of many, many books on the shelves. The staff is friendly, helpful and ready to offer suggestions. Its right on the green in downtown Guilford. Support your local bookstore, get to Breakwater Books!

Great little book shop and one of the few independent places left. It has a collection of great books but is a modestly sized shop and therefore does not have the selection of some other local places that others have mentioned. However I don’t think that overshadows the value of this quaint shop with its tags that explain books and the cute kids section. It’s worth the stop.

Its hard to find a small independent bookstore. This one is located in beautiful downtown Guolford. There is a nice childrens section and a variety of best sellers. Worth a visit followed by coffee and baked goods at one of the shops on the same street.

Friendly service, easy to order books by phone or in person if not on shelf. Current selection holds something for all ages.

Large selection and friendly staff. The book I wanted was back ordered. They proceeded to put me on a waiting list and called right when it came in and kept my reserved copy set aside until I could make it in to purchase.

I asked for recommendations for kids books as gifts. They even wrapped them with gift paper at no extra charge.They ended up to be the perfect selections.

Really nice independent bookstore. Love the comfy feel of the place. They have a great selection with a friendly helpful staff. They make you feel welcome. I will be back.

This is a nice little bookstore. It’s not big, not noisy, not a gift store, not a cafe. Just a really nice bookstore with a reasonable number of books and an excellent selection of unusual non fiction and fiction, as well as cooking, travel, children’s books, and so forth. It’s what a small independent bookstore should be!

Adorable little book store with a very large selection of books. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

This is one of the great independent bookstores - on the small side, but a great selection and very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Best of all, they always seem to have something new that I havent heard of, which I invariably end up loving. The kids section is very good too.

Wonderful local bookstore with great recommendations! Theyre taking online orders during the pandemic.

Small town bookstore that provides personal attention to customer requests, excellent book references and informative, entertaining book talks... What could be better!

Small, local book shop. Cute area for childrens and young adult books.Many of the adult books have a tag with them that explains the recimendation, which I really enjoy.

The ladies who work there are very friendly and helpful. They will order if they do not have the title you need/want. I have ordered three books in 3 weeks and they were in quickly and still at the price they would have sold it if it had been on the shelf. The store is nice and well organized.

Very sweet book store and nice staff.

This is a great bookstore in the center of town. We have loved coming here ever since we moved to town.

When people say they cherish bookstores, they are thinking of places like Breakwater Books. A comfortable, well-organized store with an excellent selection of books and wonderful staff.

Warm and helpful staff, great collection!

Best bookstore!

A cute little shop, fun to browse, but on the pricier side and I was hoping for a larger selection of childrens books.

Small selection, and the ladies who work there are not friendly. I will take the drive to Madison to visit RJ Julia where the environment is much more welcoming and the selection cant be beat.

Best bookstore on the Ct. shoreline

Very nice bookstore with a great selection and recommendations. Local interest books stationary childrens books

Small selection. The workers are very smug. Just go to RJ Julia’s.

Great
