Lovely, warm little bookstore. They have quite a wide collection of books, and some come with notes about personal picks from the staff. They also have a wide variety of gifts, some quirky. It was a delightful find, and one that might interest those who are near Columbia University.

Great choices. Lovely books. Small and warm. You’ll find a great gift here for someone who loves to read.

The staff was friendly and the selection was varied and contemporary. Great for browsing. The store is inviting and clean; it has an intellectual but light and cheery atmosphere to it. Ill definitely recommend this store to others and will be back. Dont forget to go around the corner and down the stairs to their children section. It really is nice to see them take this market seriously. There are a lot of kids toys and books to choose from. Cute little space too.

Great service and hopefully youll find some good deals

Small and cozy neighborhood shop. Good selection of kids books and baby presents in separate entry basement store. Very cozy place to read with kids. Neighborhood treasure

Such a cute place- loved that I could get nice used books too!

Would have liked it more if the sales people would be a bit more involved and less to themselves.

Like selection and knowledgeable personnel.

Great service, selection, and prices.Ive just moved to the area and decided to have quite the walk to Book Culture and let me say... it was well worth it!The employees were wearing masks. They were attentive to every customer. They are also having a limited amount of people enter the store to ensure safety. Hand sanitizer is also available and encouraged.I enjoy the little handwritten recommendations they have on different shelves. Having that read gave me inspiration for what I might want to read next!Support locals!

Very quaint space. A host of good books.

Really cute bookstore with a helpful friendly staff!

Very cute store. An awesome place to find beautiful canvas bags, unique gift cards, and thoughtful books. The place is adorable, I like to walk around the shop just to see whats inside. Whether you are looking for a book, a gift, or a little window shopping to waste time youll enjoy this little book store.

Wonderful independent bookstore with a super helpful staff who went above and beyond to help me select a book. They also carry cute stationary and some fair trade products. There’s a children’s section in the basement and a much larger branch about 3 blocks south.

I love this bookstore. Its small but mighty. Good selection of books, curated staff recommendations and a very awesome selection of stationary like items and other things like, candles scarves and totes.

I would live here if I could. Full of books I had never heard of but I was immediately dying to read (and plenty that I had already been looking for.) Adorable “Blind Date with a Book” display. Love!

I dont have much use for bookstores these days because I prefer to read on my e-reader, but I keep trying to think up excuses to shop at Book Culture. Its such a charming and well-curated shop-- everything I love about a real bookstore. They have a great selection of gifts and an especially cool range of very nice greeting cards. The staff is friendly and helpful.

I love this bookstore! There is always nice music playing and I really enjoy the staff reviews posted next to the books. If they dont have what Im looking for they always offer to order it for me. I get lost in this bookstore for hours.

Really great service. I was invited in to browse with my dog and the cashier was very helpful. Signed me up for loyalty, got me a coupon for discount on my next purchase and was so pleasant and helpful

An indie bookstore on Broadway, featuring a curated selection of new books on a variety of topics. While their larger store a few blocks away has a used section, this one has a nice childrens store with a thoughtful selection just below (entrance around the corner), thats this locations special asset. Of you dont know what you want, the employees will guild you in the right direction.

Great vibe and selection. If you have young ones, make sure to head to the basement, accessed by an exterior staircase around the corner. Staff was friendly and helpful.

A wonderful store with a great collection + timings. Love to stop by here after a long day of work :)

Sweet little shop. They have a large selection of books for kids and teens.In the basement, there is a kids section with toys and books to read. The staff is very nice.

This place is great for gifts; it is pretty expensive if youre buying something for yourself, but the beautiful things there are worth the price for a gift. It has a variety of lovely things for people of all ages and is bound to be loved by all.

Wonderful local, independent bookstore near Columbia University.

Great selection, not pulp has a huge other store on w 112 st so real door east of broadway. Check that out for stacks rambling

Book Culture is a very cute, intimate bookstore. They have a well-curated selection of books. I also had fun browsing the unique gifts.

Great shop!!!! Nice staff. We support.

Great selection, warm atmosphere, reasonable prices.

Perfect childrens section with critical thinking toys and books for all ages.

Great independent bookstore. Wide variety, including childrens books, and a well-read staff. You can loose track of time in here ...❤️ 📚

The 2 young men workers handsome and professional

One of the great independent book shops in NYC, Book Culture has two locations on the Upper West Side, one on Broadway at 116th, the other on 112th. The friendly, knowledgeable staff at both locations will help you find just what youre looking for.

Good selection. Larger store around the corner

Great selection, I always buy a book

I LOVE THIS PLACE, I WISH I COULD LIVE THERE! 😍📖

Worked at this store from 1993-1997 when it was called Papyrus Books. Good to see that its may be a different name but physical copies of books are still being sold here.

Love the childrens area downstairs!!

Staff is friendly. Its a good size store but selection could still be limited

Nice

Sweet bookstore!
