Secret Garden Bookshop

Expert Reviews of Secret Garden Bookshop

Citysearch | A huge collection of books for kids and plenty of great reads for adults.

The perfect place for kids, parents, teachers and anyone who acts like a gleeful youngster when they spy a full bookshelf. A wooden table with toys and puzzles beckons the little ones. Down-to-earth, friendly...

Yelp.com Review - by Sharon F.

4.0 of 5 stars. Best selection of kids' books in town. I've found it hard to get the attention of the staff, who always seem to be busy doing something else, but when I seek out help I always get it. They were…

5.0 of 5 stars. I buy kids' books here all the time. Great selection, in-store author appearances, courteous, helpful employees, some of whom are really hot librarian types, and a great location are just some of the…

Yelp.com Review - by Karen S.

5.0 of 5 stars. I find myself in this bookshop a few times a year, mostly when buying books for my niece in NY. The staff are super-friendly and helpful, and if they don't have the books on my niece's 'list', they…

I LOVE this store

I love this store!! I can come in and ask for the book "was reviewed the other day on the radio-it's about a guy and he does something" and they say "Oh it's right here" they are great neighbors and have often...

Yelp.com Review - by Mina I.

4.0 of 5 stars. For sure the place I would bring a little one to get a book! I was lured in by the shop name and fun display window! Inside is a very comfortable (mostly) kid's bookstore. I poked around a bit for…

2.0 of 5 stars. Fair to good selection of books for kids and good adult titles too. My only problem is the staff. They always seem too busy, sometimes talking to each other and sometimes performing some mysterious…

Expert employees

Whenever I need a kids book recommendation, I always go to Secret Garden. They know their stock, they have specific recommendations for age levels and reading tastes, and they've actually read the books. It's...

Too Uptight for Children

Though they tout themselves as child-focused with a great book collection situated at the window, don't be fooled into thinking they actually want a child in their store. They appear to have a look but don't...

Yelp.com Review - by Chloe H.

4.0 of 5 stars. The Secret Garden is primarily a children's bookstore, but it also has a well-stocked and thoughtful selection of "adult literature" available for purchase. Go during school hours while the kiddies…

Yelp.com Review - by Robyn H.

4.0 of 5 stars. Perfect place to find books that are begging to be read by the younger set. Even though adult books are available, the display window plays up the appeal to those just starting to read. Decent…

Yelp.com Review - by Austin W.

4.0 of 5 stars. As an artist I'm a sucker for illustrations in children's books. This place, even though it says "books for all ages" is mainly for the little short people. You can find adult books in the back and…

Yelp.com Review - by Maria C.

4.0 of 5 stars. While they sell adult books too, the window display of gorgeous children's lit draws you in the store. If you ever loved Maurice Sendak or 'The Polar Express' or any number of kids books you'll be…
