Hidden gem in downtown Victoria. A wonderful selection of books in a carefully decorated space to give readers room to read and relax. A kids corner invites children to engage and relax. Definitely recommend a stop here.

This was my first time here, and when I walked in I was greeted by a very friendly young lady, I believe that she had brown hair and bangs. She immediately asked me if I needed help finding anything, and I said that I didnt really know what kind of book I was looking for at the moment. Instead of walking off, she started asking me what my favorite genre of book was, and some of my recent favorite books that I had read. Once she got the information, she went around the store and pulled out 3 book recommendations for me. I read the summary of all the books, and ended up buying all 3 of them, because they sounded so good, and exactly what I wanted! That young lady that helped me is an excellent addition to the bookstore, and I will definitely be back!

The lady that seemed to be the manager was leaning on the counter, with a baseball cap on and a spectrum piercing. Totally not against piercing just seemed unprofessional with a big ring maybe a clear one would be better for the job! Totally needs a more professional appearance!

I came into the book store excited to buy some books! I walked in and saw a lady wearing a fedora hat. She did not greet me. I am a very shy person, but I mustered up the courage to go ask her about some books. I approached the fedora hat lady and I asked her a question. This took all my courage. After I asked her the question, she put her ear buds in and ignored me! This crushed me, because I was really looking forward to buying some books. I immediately left the store and cried all the way home! I told my best friend about this incident and she was very angry. She suggested that we go back and I told her no! A couple of weeks passed and she convinced me to go back. I was dreading seeing the fedora hat lady again. When we walked in, a pleasant young lady with bangs greeted us and was so incredibly friendly! She asked me what genre of books I liked to read and pulled some books for me to look at! I bought all of her suggestions and I also bought both of McKinzis Picks! McKinzi is a true delight to this store! She has made me a repeat customer. Now before I go into the store, I looked through the window and make sure that McKinzi is working. If I see the mean fedora hat lady, I turn around and go home. It has taken me a while to write this review, but I believe that you needed to know what an asset to the store McKinzi is!!!Im giving one star to this review for mean fedora hat lady, because I want to warn people about her! But I truly believe that 5 stars should be given to McKinzi!!!

Very nice place! Feel I could read quietly there

Small selection - oddly located - seems to be priced at the normal going rates of books currently

Not sure what the business concept is. Didn’t know price of a display book. Not a huge selection. Quaint atmosphere. Maybe should add a cafe, something unique. Basically new books at retail price. Maybe they’ll carry a used selection.

Adorable treasure in Victoria! And their kids section is spectacular... great books, unusual toys, and unique learning activities for children of all ages!

Owner was friendly and helpful

Tucked away in Old Victoria in a beautiful historic home is a Boutique Bookstore. Inviting and relaxing atmosphere with a smattering of book genres for you to tuck away to one of the inviting lounge chairs or couches.

I love the haunted house they put on for the kids on Halloween.

Always so friendly and cozy!!

Too many stairs

New books only
