Share your opinion about A Seat at the Table Books

I absolutely love A Seat at the Table. There is something so special about having a local, independently owned bookstore that truly feels like part of the community. Their selection is wonderfully diverse and inclusive. There really is a seat at the table for everyone here.

You can tell they genuinely care about the community they serve and give back to it. This is exactly the kind of small business I love supporting, and I’m so glad we have them in our community. 🧡📚
A Seat at the Table is my go-to spot for so many different reasons: books, gifts, coffee/tea dates, community events. The store has such a great vibe, and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and always available to answer questions and give recommendations.
Our favorite GAY AS HELL bookstore! Great selection in-store and access to ordering books that they don’t. Friendly staff and the atmosphere feels SAFE, which means the world to this queer brown fat non-binary person. Grab yourself a coffee and snack while you’re enjoying your time there too! Nothing but love for ASATB!
