The owner Ms. Lee is very helpful and so welcoming and that’s before you meet the cats☺️ It’s impossible to leave empty handed even if your book just got ordered..Stop in for some peace of mind..Will not regret it.

It's wonderful. I was surprised by both the quantity and quality of the books at Simon's. The lady who owns and runs the shop is one of the most open, thoughtful, and conversationable people you'll encounter. She's full of recommendations and insight. There is a book club here that meets up on the first Monday of every month, and there's free coffee and fun for those who come. Be sure to bring cash if you want to purchase a book (the prices are terrific), or you can bring a check if you plan on spending more. No cards.

Incredible collection of new and old books to get lost in. What a joy of a place - come and support it!

Amazing experience visiting this bookshop on a whim. A block away from our Airbnb, this was the perfect way to close out an evening before heading home to Utah. Huge selection of books. Somewhat jumbled organization which added to the "browsy" vibe. Came away with a few months of reading, and the owner gave us a free tote bag to carry them home in. Will definitely visit again next time we're in the area.

This was the cutest and most welcoming bookstore I’ve ever been to! The woman, Lee, who owns it offered us fresh coffee and chatted with us. We got to pet Patty Cat. I’m very visibly pregnant and the one baby book I picked out she gave to us for free “as a gift for the baby” 🥹❤️. It was just such an amazing experience. …

This place warms your heart when you walk in. We were offered to sit and have a coffee and read. Such sweet conversation and friendly atmosphere. You would need far more than a day to lay eyes on all the books they have, new and old. Be warned you’ll just keep picking up more books to take home. They have something for everyone. 15/10
