About Avant Garden Bookstore
Avant Garden Bookstore Reviews
Very cozy, clean, and organized. Something for everyone!
This is my beautiful, unique, and lively escape from the dullness of everyday life. Here, you can be yourself. The amazing Staff takes time to learn your name. The coffee drink list is a work of art; come prepared to take a few minutes to read before you order. And don't forget to support local authors in the thoughtfully curated bookstore upstairs. Come as you are, or, remember who you are meant to be ✨
Love everything about this place! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, great coffee, vibes are 10/10. Also, I love how they’re always coming up with creative ways to engage the community! Between Book Clubs, story time, random events and pop-ups, there’s something for everyone!
Thanks for your continued community involvement and overall inclusivity! We need more small businesses like you! ♥️
