from Google & Yelp"Love this place in Aggieville! They have a wonderful collection of beautiful books, and it's also a great spot to get some work done. I really enjoy the overall vibe, and their pumpkin spice lattes are amazing. A must-visit during Halloween season!"
"This bookstore feels like a hidden gem. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm lighting, exposed brick, and shelves that are clearly curated with care. It has that perfect mix of cozy and artistic, where you can tell it’s not just about selling books, but creating an experience for readers and visitors alike. There’s a comfortable seating area that feels like a living room out of a design magazine. Mid-century modern furniture, soft textures, and a few vibrant accent chairs invite you to sit down with a book and stay awhile. The plants scattered throughout add a fresh and calming vibe, making it the kind of space where you want to slow down and take your time. What I loved most is the attention to detail. They don’t just sell books—they’ve got beautiful stationery, journals, and writing supplies, all displayed in a way that makes you want to pick them up and bring them home. It’s the sort of shop where inspiration finds you in unexpected ways. Another unique touch is the mystery book bags. They have paper bags sealed and labeled by genre, each containing a surprise book inside. It’s such a fun way to step outside your usual reading comfort zone and discover something new. It also makes for a great gift idea if you’re shopping for a fellow book lover. The staff is friendly without being pushy, and you can tell they truly care about books and the community they’ve built here. It’s a place where locals and travelers alike can feel at home, whether you’re looking for a new read, a thoughtful gift, or just a quiet spot to relax. Overall, this isn’t just a bookstore—it’s an experience. You’ll want to linger, browse, and soak in the atmosphere. A must-visit if you appreciate independent shops with character 📚🤗"
"Dusty is such a gem! This place served me while during my 5 years at Kansas State, as I spent a lot of time studying here. Such a cozy place. They also have a lot of great books, and the staff are always so nice. Long live Dusty!"
"Very friendly and helpful staff. Love their coffee too! Such such a cute, cozy, peaceful atmosphere. The children's book area is so cute and my girls can always find fun used books for cheap."
"This place is the perfect unique blend between a cafe and a book store. It serves all sorts of drinks which you can buy while you browse or sit in one of their many tables and chairs all over the shop. Their upstairs area is the perfect place to work or relax while overlooking the store."
