A magical book-lovers haven. I have been to Golden Fig Books countless times and cannot get over how much joy it brings me. Their wide-range of selections, the price points of their used books and the overall aesthetic of the space is incredible. I love that they carry new selections to keep up with what is hot off the press but also carry great quality “used” books (which honestly look brand new themselves) for unbeatable prices. I bring all my out-of-town loved ones to the fig and none of us can seem to leave without getting at least one new read. Love love love this place. -
Love this bookstore! Great selection, cozy vibe, friendly staff and easy parking 👍 -
Small but mighty used bookstore! This little shop has a lot of books on a large variety of subjects! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I think some people might overlook it simply due to its small size, but it felt more spacious with how they had everything arranged. -
Really enjoyed my visit to Golden Fig Books! It can be a little difficult to park but they do have some dedicated spots. -
Love love love coming here! Have traded in some books for store credit and the process was super smooth, the staff is always so kind and welcoming, and I love the selection as a mix of new hits and some great used books. Often will go out of my way to stop by to get a book as a treat.
