What People Are Saying

from Google

"I recently took my 3 year old daughter to An Unlikely Story for our first time on a Friday night. It was so magical!! The book selection, the gifts, the cafe treats- this store has it all!! Julien and Erin who work there went above and beyond from where we arrived (and it wasn’t so busy) up until we left and the store was full of people and buzzing! They kept the same patience and enthusiasm to help us while they continued to become more busy. We left with everything we needed, and the biggest smiles on our faces!! I can’t recommend An Unlikely Story enough!!"

"Stunning bookstore, well worth a special trip. We shopped, had a drink in the cafe, and saw a show upstairs. My entire book club is now planning a field trip. Can’t wait to come back!"

★★★★★

"The staff is super friendly and helpful! The bookstore is very organized and very clean. We went for a book signing and the store was packed, but we weren't rushed and had a really great time! I can't wait to go back soon! BTW, we met the owner, Jeff Kinney and he's amazing!"

★★★★★

"This is one of the best book stores I have been to. Dairy of a Wimpy Kid fans will find this place amazing. There is a section where you could buy signed copies. The store all so has many more kid book series like Dog Man and Magic Treehouse. There is an adult section too with books most will enjoy. You can get merchandise and coffee too! The employees are really nice and genuinely want to help you. I recommend this place to all fans and just any person who wants to visit a cool place."

"What a cute bookstore. Even the bathrooms were matching the theme! You'll find a cafe on the main floor with coffee and food options along with seating. There is even more seating on the second floor upstairs (standard wooden chairs and tables). There are a couple of cozy plush armchairs throughout the first floor to relax and peruse any selections. The shelves themselves are well organized and easy to differentiate genres. While not nearly as extensive a collection as a big box store (looking at you, b&n), it seemed to be a well curated collection. The staff recommended picks were generally all rated 4 stars and up on Goodreads. I would come here to browse and find something new rather than if I was searching for a specific book. There was also a large area devoted to gifts/games/knickknacks for all ages. All of the staff were welcoming and friendly! They do have a free rewards program and a regular newsletter with upcoming events for those who live in the area! There is a huge parking lot (free) across the street if the normal one behind the actual bookstore fills up."
