This is what used book stores were meant to be. Aromatic and pleasant environment, thoughtfully-curated books, ample nooks for reading, and a cafe'. Two thumbs way way up! Enjoyed the full experience, bought a whole stack of books.
Had to edit my review. We went in today and as soon as we walked in we were greeted. Told that if we need it. Any help? If we were looking for anything in particular we could ask was even shown around
My daughter got a coffee and a book and was very pleased over all a nice experience
Loved Totem Books! Quaint little store jammed packed with lots of interesting finds! They have a wide variety of books, cd's, vinyl albums, candles & much more! Had delicious Chai Tea at the cafe, too!
We had a great time here! Found a couple of neat old books for presents to people, got to chat with two really interesting authors, and I already want to go back! This bookstore is a gem: great selection, great vibes, and good people.
I have passed this place for many, many years and I am sadly now just getting an opportunity to go inside. This is such a nice little gem in the Flint area. They have a nice little selection of books on a number of different topics. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Many unique books which are hard to find other places. They have a little café area I didn't try but it would be nice to sit in for a moment, alone or with someone. I will definitely plan on coming back in the future.
Fantastic selection of used books, vinyls, and so much more. I would have given 5 stars if the lady that checked us out was courteous. She seemed bored and overly unfriendly. My wife (disabled as well) bought 8 small books, a very heavy book and a few others small items. She was given 1 plastic bag for the 8 small books with a large hole in it. We didn’t ask for a new bag or another bag because the clerks demeanor was not pleasant and also had ignored a question my wife asked while browsing for a title.
Fortunately the store itself was very good. A couch, chairs, stools and tables for working on laptops along with free wifi! There is a small eatery inside with a few chairs. Prices were reasonable and with such a huge variety of unique items to browse, like stickers, buttons, coasters, shirts, etc. it’s got something for everyone. There is even a kids area with books. The inside is really nice and there are some beautiful murals on the building and another building in back.
Disregarding the clerk, I recommend this bookstore as it has a lot offer. There is handicap parking on the side of the building and plenty of parking in general.
This is a great book store with lots of ambiance. It has a cafe inside that I didn't try but the food smelled good. The selection is really good and the prices very reasonable.
