Nice bookstore not far across the street from woodland mall. New books, used books, all sorts of books! Toys, figurines, games, music. Cafe open, hours vary from the bookstores main hours.

This was the greatest bookstore Ive ever been to. Phenomenal selection, excellent staff, enormous. Im usually in and out of a bookstore in 15 minutes to an hour.I spent FOUR hours here and didnt get bored. I finally had to leave because I was just tired.The Cafe food is delicious too. Very pleased overall.

I have started my Christmas shopping, I am still a fan of giving books, but not sure if my grandchildren are readers, I asked my granddaughter if she enjoyed reading, and her reply was comic books, so I remembered how my son enjoyed Calvin and Hobbes books, and Schumer Books has a full collection. Get them early as they go off the shelfs fast at Christmas time.

Love this place so much! In addition to a great book selection, the gift section is one of my favorite!! I am obsessed with the kids section - beautiful books and so many great toys/games! My 5 yo son is particularly into their collection of Schleich animal figures!!

This was my first visit. Lots of books and gifts. Very clean, friendly staff, convenient parking. Enjoyed a coffee and worked in the cafe for a bit after I checked out the aisles of books and gifts. Was a relaxing place to work on the laptop, grab a coffee, and still get out. I plan to go back.

My family and I have been customers of Schuler Books for 30 years. I was excited to introduce my 3 year old grandson to your store today. I will never be back.My grandson was “shopping” for dinosaurs in the children’s area. They are displayed on low shelving easily in reach for children. Yes he was touching the dinosaurs. Yes there were signs stating the dinosaurs where not to be touched unless you were purchasing it. We were planning on purchasing several.Being 3, it was impossible to prevent my grandson from touching many of them. I took him to the restroom and washed his hands for this reason.When we returned, we were greeted by a saleswoman, who obviously had been watching us and anticipated our return. She rudely pointed out the signs and reprimanded me for allowing my grandson to touch the dinosaurs. All the while she was touching them and moving them around! I explained that I had just washed his hands but she wasn’t having it. I picked up my grandson and walked out of the store. Screaming child with no dinosaurs!I understand COVID protocol. I wear a mask and appreciate efforts to keep customers safe. However, rude customer service will not keep customers or your store open. May I suggest hanging a sheet of plexiglass in front of your open shelving in the children’s area.My family has enjoyed this bookstore and cafe for years. Sadly, we will no longer be customers.

I was surprised with this bookstore. I actually ended up leaving with three books! Half the store is used books and the other half is new material. They also have lots of little gadgets, trinkets, puzzles, and games, and a cute childrens section. Im excited to go back soon!

We happen to be situated next door at the Cadillac dealership during a car show. Always like schulers for lunch. I had the quiche of the day. It comes with a small bit of fruit and a bread product. Very good lunch. If youre looking for books and magazines and literature stuff they have it all.

Huge selection of books both used and new in every genre. Great gift selection and amazing selection of books for children. Very clean, warm and friendly staff. And on top if all of that a great deli. Enjoy your browsing experience.

Local bookstore. Lots of books and a cafe. Has a huge section of used books. Books for kids are separated by reading/age level. I like going to browse and I always find a new book to read or puzzle to buy. I also love that they have a section for people looking to join or start a book club.

Love Schuler Books! Nice selection of books and other merchandise, cafe, and pleasant and friendly staff. I could spend hours here. So much better than buying online.

Great bookstore! A great variety of books. The coffee shop is really good and has yummy treats and food.

I love Schuler Books. Its my happy place. If I am in a hurry, tho, I can order and pay for a book, then pick it up, later. ❤️❤️❤️

Favorite local bookstore! Always prefer shopping here versus the big chains or Amazon if possible.Pretty good selection, although obviously smaller than the larger chains, but not an issue.Also, despite some of the other reviews, I always appreciated how seriously they took/take the safety of their employees and customers by enforcing mask usage. Ive also always had great interactions with their employees.My only complaint is that I wish they still had their location downtown since the 28th Street location is a little inconvenient for me.Definitely recommend.

Bookstores used to be places where thoughts and intellectualism could flourish. This bookstore is so consumed by its leftist push for indoctrination, that they have forgotten that books are written to encourage independent thought not brainwashed propaganda. This store is set up so that you can only see what THEY deem important. If you love America, love God and believe that ALL lives matter. Dont shop here, I certainly wont ever again!!

It is very nice how the staff wrote short summaries of certain books.

Schuler’s is one of my favorites. I’m a regular customer of the bookstore and the cafe and that won’t be changing anytime soon :)

Schuler Books has been a favorite of mine for many years. Im so glad they have survived throughout the pandemic. Not only a lovely book store but also a great place for coffee, a snack or lunch.

As a long time customer of Schuler books, I am a bit saddened and disappointed to say that I will no longer be shopping here due to several inappropriate staff interactions.Today, upon attempting to enter the store, my wife and I were informed that our gators would not suffice as sufficient face coverings. Determined not to make a big deal out of it, we accepted the surgical masks they offered to us and continued into the store. Though this was not a huge deal, the manor in which we were spoken to when told we would not be allowed to enter was a bit shocking.As I browsed the store, I occasionally took a sip of the coffee in my hand, always ensuring to pull the mask up over my face after each drink. The breaking point came when I was in the far corner of the store and took my mask down to take a drink. As the coffee cup was in contact with my lips, an employee approached me and began reprimanding me in a way that was wholly inappropriate and unacceptable. Baffled by the interaction, I was unsure what to say, so I just stared at the employee until she continued to speak to me like a toddler. I informed her that the coffee cup was literally in contact with my lips as she began to belittle me. Either unwilling to apologize for the misunderstanding or intent on taking her anger out on a loyal customer who has spent hundreds of dollars on books over the past few years, she then initiated a sarcasm ridden step by step demonstration of how I need to drink my coffee.To be spoken to like this by another human, nonetheless, an employee of the store, really rubbed me the wrong way. As the employee walked away shaking her head, I decided that there is no need to be subjected to this sort of treatment and left the store. I had a few books in my hands as did my wife. Needless to say, we took our business to Barnes & Noble and Amazon.The store mask mandate despite not being federally or state mandated for vaccinated individuals, I can understand.The odd gator policy, I can understand to an extent.The belittlement and discourteous treatment of a customer, I will not tolerate.

Schuler Books has an amazing selection of new and used titles, great gifts, and an amazing staff. Hands down the best book store in Grand Rapids!

I love this place. Been going there for years. Havent been since pre-covid, but popped in today and had a great experience.

Huge selection of books in several genres. Great childrens area. Many bargain and used books

One of the best bookstores Ive ever been in. Lots of books and gifts as well as a great selection of used books. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

What my wife was looking for in books she likes to read it was a very nice place alot of books to choose from

Very nice bookstore, I was able to fine the book I needed easily. They also have an assortment of Michigan made products and local historical records that have been republished

A great bookstore. Could spend hours here and still not see everything. A huge selection of used books.

First time going into this bookstore, passed by several times. I figured it was going to be a Barnes and Nobles dobblerganger, I was slightly wrong. Inside does resemble it very much, but they had almost 1/3 of the store that was selling used media in good condition at more then fair prices. Look at the pictures. Take ad-hoc its a $50 book for $15. Great shape too, included dust jacket.

Clean, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, more than a book store. I love shopping at Schuler Books!

Whenever they dont have what Im looking for, they order it and its in in a few days. Support local, independent bookstores! We need them.

Tons of selection and great prices. So much cool stuff, if you love books this store is a must.

Love their used book selection! I always end up with a good selection of books every time.

One of the best used books selection in the area. They do have a smaller collection of new books in comparison to chain stores but thats kind of expected. All the employees are polite and helpful. Ive never had a bad experience here.

Staff was helpful to me to find what I was looking for. Cafe was so-so....panini wasnt grilled very well and not cheap.

Buy local!! The best bookstore in town. This is my go to place when buying my kids a new toy or book (something to bribe or reward them with) because I trust that the products are well thought out and I dont have to compete with a bunch of junk. I could spend hours in there. The Cafe is good too but I havent eaten there since the pandemic.

Great local bookstore that has the feel of yesteryear, and the convenience of tomorrow. The cafe is delicious as well.

Love this place! Locally owned tons of unique gifts!

I like that they also sell used books. I like the kids section.

Love this place! Wonderful selection, great cafe, and a welcoming atmosphere. Favorite place to spend my lunch hour.

Wonderful people had great recommendations and a lot of cute gifts. Was so excited to see a womens empowerment section and lots of options!

Very inviting, and cozy. Great atmosphere. Large selection of books, for all age groups. Friendly and helping staff

My favorite local bookstore. So happy to see how seriously theyre taking their COVID precautions, even in their café! The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful and the books are organized well. There is a large board-games section in the back of the bookstore that is fairly comprehensive, and the atmosphere is one of any quiet, cozy bookstore. If they dont have a book on the shelves, they will get it for you! Give them a shot for a cozy afternoon.

Great selection. Great sale section also

Locally owned. If they dont have the book youre looking for, they can order it for you most times.Helpful staff, great selection of books and gifts.My favorite Bookstore.

Cool place. Nice, helpful staff.

THIS PLACE ISS SOOO BIG AND PRETTY HAD PRETTY MUCH ALL I WANTEDDD! They also sell manga?!?!

Great store. Clean store with very helpful staff. My granddaughter was in heaven in the kids section and the sandwiches offered.

After Amazon lost a book that I was really looking forward to reading, I went to Schulers and at the counter the girl told me they are doing random acts of kindness and she gave me $25 off my book! She honestly made my week. I wish I had caught her name, she was incredibly nice!! I am done with Amazon. Buy local!!

Ive been going to Schulers since it was on the other side of 28th Street and only one story tall. Its always been my favorite refuge from the noise and bustle of my busy life.I brought my grandson here since he was three and the Thomas wouldnt train set has been a favorite attraction. I treat myself to the Chapbook Cafe, where the food is always delicious and the coffee is strong and hot.Now that the pandemic has settled in, the hours are limited and kids cant play with the puppets or stuffed animals--but like most people Im optimistic about the future and I will definitely enjoy Schulers when things get back to normal!

Great selection of books with even better prices. Neat gifts, food, and coffee to boot.

My daughter buys books here as some new books are cheaper than Barnes and Noble.

One of the last nom-chain bookstores. A wide selection of books, magazines, music, some small toys, and an inside cafe. Always fun to go check out whats on sale, whats new, etc. Go there to find local reading groups and other similar events. Small-run publishing is also done onsite. Support this place, while still have some options. For easier access, use the 29th street entrance and avoid 28th street traffic.

Staff is always friendly and if you want to avoid 28th street, theres 29th street access to the store as well.

This a bookstore I could spend all day in. The staff is always so wonderful and helpful, and I always leave with new treasures.

Been going to Schulers for almost 40 years! This is a great place to browse and buy books. They have a great selection for kids also.

Faster than Amazons shipping if you buy it in store? Idk why book stores exist. Just go on tik tok and melt your brain like the rest of us

Nicest bookstore in Grand Rapids. Always willing to find the book youre looking for either by ordering or finding it in the store, very helpful

Always a pleasure to shop there. Ive missed it.

The place is staffed by virtue signaling libs. Public commerce should be free of politics. The store layout and selection is very nice. Buttons on lapels of cash register people should not say my preferred pronouns are... it is rude to make people have to participate in yourself delusion.

Fantastic selection including periodicals. A great kids section that also has educational items for home schooling. The used books make this the best book store Grand Rapids. The attached cafe is also worth checking out. The coffee beats Starbucks hands down, which actually isnt that hard in my opinion.

Great, welcoming staff. A wonderful selection of books. I went in looking for a very specific genre(Cybersecurity) and they had a great selection!

My wife and I went today, we were met at the door by some liberal employee who said my gaiter that completely covers my face wasnt good enough. We turned around and went to Barnes and Noble and gave them our money instead.

Will never go back. Walked in the door, had my clear clean face mask on. Sitting at the door is the mask inspector, said my mask did not meet there requirements. Must be because they sell books, that has made them mask professionals. Perhaps they should all find some books in their store on the constitution of America, instead of in bracing a socialist dictatorship!! Will never ever go back, and will inform all I meet of my experience.

Local, well organized, great selection, and always a fun visit. The whole family loves Schuler!

I love this store. They have a great selection of used books, and at a good price. Wonderful service. Very helpful.

They have a wonderful used book section that I always make a visit to when Im in Grand Rapids.

Quiet from the storm. Very helpful staff. Has large selection of childrens books. A treasury of literary choices.

Great selection! Support local!!

Always so relaxing and serene. Staff is super helpful!

I live out of state and every time I visit my family, this is a Must Do. So many new and used books, a relaxing Cafe, and unique gifts. Add that they have fantastic Corona precautions to protect patrons and staff makes me eager to return.

Thanks to Megan and the other friendly staff for the excellent recommendations and deep familiarity with the stock.

Very helpful.

I could spend the whole day at Schuler! I just love being there!

Huge selection, friendly staff. 👏

Locally owned book store with a great variety of books, gifts, knowledge and public events. This is the place to shop.

They are very mindful of social distancing and keep a tally of the number of patrons in the store at all times. I felt very safe there. If there is one store I would choose to purchase a book from it would have to be Schulers. Top notch service from knowledgeable staff keep us coming back. They are a local bookstore, so I vote with my dollars and spend them at Schulers. They offer used books for sale as well. In addition they sell games and puzzles. I always look forward to my next trip to Schulers.

As a former employee as well as frequent customer, I have nothing but praise for this independent business. The employees have always been helpful and informative, and seem to care about where they work and how to improve it - always a good sign.I am also giving them kudos for transitioning during the pandemic. As a fan of their café, they managed to keep open and adapted their menu. The displays are thoughtful and inclusive. And I cannot say enough about their sidelines, magazine and printing press offerings.I also patronise them selfishly, to remember my days working at and enjoying Borders Bookstores. Hard RIP there.I am thankful to live near Schulers.

We love Schuler Books for their selection, they always do a great job with their layout and their staff is incredibly helpful. Prices are a little high but it is worth it to keep a local book store in business.

Have missed going here, havent been in over a year. Love the books!

Greatest place on earth!!!!! Love this place. Theres always someone there if you need assistance and a VERY welcoming atmosphere.

Best book and coffee stop in Grand Rapids!

Wonderful small business! Amazing selection

The book sections on self help and writing have been reduced so much, I couldnt find any on a subject that I didnt already know inside and out. There should be more than 15 or twenty books in the writing section and not everyone looking for such a book is a beginner or unpublished. Sometimes, we just want to know something more.

My favorite book store

Great selection of books and gifts. They are doing a great job of keeping shopping safe during the pandemic.

Great place, excellent selection and really impressed with their strict Covid-19 guidelines! Good job! A bit expensive compared to most but its worth it to support small business.

I always find new and exciting gifts here, and items for every budget. The staff has always been friendly and helpful.

Great atmosphere and great books. I enjoy all of the book recommendations.

Best independent book store in West Michigan.

I think this bookstore is for people that would like to learn more about governments and history on the way in all I could see is books about Obama. Its too bad they had no books about music.

Its great to have a place where you can dive into the adventure of reading.

They are taking great care to make sure things are disinfected. Felt safe while shopping

Amazing place full of loads of different books, tons of knick knacks of all sorts, and the staff was super nice and helpful

Very nice store, and their used book section was extremely nice.

Awesome local place if you need books. Good selection of the newest titles and used books. Also have a sweet cafe, knick-knacks and ornaments, and TONS of stuff for kids.I recommend this place if you want to support a local company and LOVE books.

They do have books.

This bookstore has a fantastic selection of new and used books. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help.

A small business thats still going. Excellent selection and top customer service.

Schulers has a great collection of puzzles and books!

Best book store in Grand Rapids!!!

I liked the used book section.
