Customer experiences
Lovely and cozy bookstore that has fun and unique book recs! For fellow obsessors of Severance, they had a section called “Work Sucks, I Know” with books about the terrible corporate existence LOL!
I had a fantastic time at Greenlight Bookstore.They were friendly and very inviting. They also have a wide variety of books to suit everyone's taste. My friend Bernice McFjust did a reading of her new book, "First Born," there, and it was a wonderful turnout! Thanks, Greenlight Bookstore.🤗
I’m not really a book girlie. I’ve had a hard time getting into reading and I do “collect” books that sorta sit on a single shelf. But being here literally pulled me in similar to a kid in a candy store. I was here for a friend and kept getting distracted by all the colorful names and covers. Will definitely be back.
Great bookstore right by Barclay center. Great atmosphere, unbeatable book selection and variety. They have book clubs, community events...I was fortunate enough to attend one. They are very strict with covid precautions. Masks are mandatory here....be aware. If you forget to bring one, they will give you one though. I wasn't to fond of the bathroom. One bathroom/stall available that's locked and you have to ask staff to unlock it.
