I used to be a Powell’s regular, wanting to support local bookstores. As of late, I am now a Broadway books regular. Their service and selection is amazing! I haven’t had the opportunity to visit the bookstore itself but my online experience has been great, books ready to pick up within days! Staff is super friendly! Can’t wait to step inside and feel the magic.

Well stocked and well staffed. This is a local gem. Its been easy to special order books. During pickup we found a number of great books too with recommendations of the staff

Is one of the best stores independent bookstores that Ive been in

Great selection of books. Im glad theyve reopened for in-store browsing.

A cozy little bookstore going for quality over quantity. A lovely place to spend a rainy afternoon. The employees are helpful and very knowledgeable.

My name is Roger Browning. I am a writer. My experience here to this store was precovid, Although I remember it well. I am a rancher from Texas, but am a lover of all things books. We were on vacation, my wife, daughter and I, when the rain began to pour. We left our tent for hot coffee, with city tour, when our love of books brought us here. Even though drenched, we were welcomed in for the experience and my wife managed a couple of books along with my daughter to the register. It was a great experience and a wonderful store and it has been on my mind as of late. The independent book store is so important, so be sure and visit as soon ad you can. My name is Roger Browning and my book about a troubled family of inheritance, set in modern day Texas, is known as The Reckoning of Rance. Now offered on amazon.

First time at this book store. Very helpful staff. Helped me find just what I was looking for.

Broadway Books is just amazing- their selection and customer service makes this place a true gem. My online purchasing experience was flawless. When one of the items I ordered was unavailable, Elie both called and emailed me so that we could find and ship a replacement item as soon as possible. I later called to ask a question about shipping and the person I spoke with was friendly, kind, and knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond to help me. This type of individualized service truly makes Broadway Books special- 10/10 would recommend for any future book/game/fun purchases!Im so glad that places like Broadway Books exist and I cant wait to visit in Portland as soon as it is safe.

Amazing people and great availability on the site to order for shipping or pick up!

I could not recommend this place more. From start to finish, the entire staff (especially Kim - shoutout to Kim!) were incredibly attentive and communicative with me. I ordered two books from here, one of which went out of print with the manufacture and the other the store did not have on hand. I was immediately notified and refunded for the one, and the staff special ordered the other. Both of this was communicated to me within 48 hours of my purchase. Then, I absentmindedly ordered the books for curbside pick up, (even though I live in Minnesota) and upon realizing my mistake, I called to embarrassingly ask if they could ship the book to me instead (it was a Christmas gift). Without missing a beat, they were right on it and got the book sent out immediately. Just incredible!We need bookstores now more than ever, so if you’re looking for a way to support a small business with the most professional, caring, and helpful staff I’ve ever experienced - shop Broadway Books.

I love this book shop. Coz they provide those books which I searched from few months.

I loved this charming bookstore and all of the staff I met the afternoon I visited. I was in town for the day, from Kent WA, a 3hr drive ... The door was locked, but when opened I said I did not realize appts were required, but Im just in town and saw the bookstore and really wanted to stop in. I was invited in, because there was space available ... I was duly Covid prescreened, and allowed to shop. I was asked if there was something in particular I was looking for, and I said, Yes, postcards, as Im a Postcrosser. Score!! Ding Ding Ding!!! WOOT! YAY!! I was brought to the rack of postcards and was told that many of the postcards are done by a local, in the neighborhood, artist. I bought a small stack of postcards, 3 books, a bookmark, and a puzzle ... They have an incredible selection of premium jigsaw puzzles. Over one hundred dollars later (I was going to go out to lunch, but then decided to just eat the snacks I had packed in my car) because this bookstore indulgence was far more delectable and much less fattening. Thank you Broadway Books!P.S. tho at first glance having to make a reservation seemed annoying, I loved that there was crowd control in place because the shop is small and you really did have sufficient personal space to browse. Thank you again for accommodating my visit last Tuesday. XoXo 😘

Good communication and easy pick-up during the pandemic. Theyll definitely be my go-to local bookstore!

Used to love this place until today. I was at door to pick up a book and called i was told on phone pick up is only tues, thurs, Friday and Saturday as those are only days store was open and theres a sign on door says NO EXCEPTIONS So i understood said ok, went to my nail appointment next door to book store, when i came out and was walking to car i see 2 people at book store door one was dropping off something the other woman picked up a book.So apparently that NO EXCEPTIONS and store hours for pick up varies on who you are. Shame on you Broadway Books. I will be canceling my order and go elsewhere. I cant believe this happened. Very disappointing 😕!!!!

Schedule an in person visit appointment or order online for curbside pickup. Super friendly and efficient customer service!

Great little store! Posting here to help others... You eventually see it on their site but I have books to pick up there and keep forgetting. Curbside pick-up is from 2 to 4 pm on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Got a pickup order and it was ready very quickly and they had a great selection available. Look forward to coming in again when we can shop in store!

Great selection and easy curbside pick up! They even offer complimentary gift wrap :)

Absolutely wonderful customer service, and the perfect selection for a last minute gift purchase!

Great Independent book store. Easy online order and curbside pickup.

Went in to find a book on grief and inspirational words... Great recommendation from guy working there (didnt get his name unfortunately)...at check out thanked him and we ended up having a great conversation..Love this store..I will be frequenting often from now on out😊

Best bookshop in Portland!

Perfect local bookstore. Too many words would muddle this simple truth.

This is the best place to come if Im in the mood for something amazing to read. Their selection is excellently curated, and the staff are always happy to help make recommendations. Ask about ordering books you cant find, but go with less of a plan and youll probably end up with an unexpected favorite! I also usually find a greeting card I cant pass up whenever I go.

Cute little bookstore, very nice selection of books. Hosts lots of readings from local authors. Street parking is plentiful and easy.

Best neighborhood bookstore. Its in NE Portland across the street from Helen Bernhard Bakery. Buy a book there and then go across the street for the best brownies in town. There really are too few bookstores like this left in the country. They have a wonderful selection of fiction books in particular and I never fail to find amazing new novels Id never heard of before that they personally select for some of the display tables and shelves. Great greeting cards too!

World class bookstore where the help can really, actually help, while keeping the small size shop feeling. Been my favorite for many years.

Great idea on book sales. Wide variety and unique methodology.

Amazingly awesome customer service! They happily special-ordered a small press book for me and got it days faster than any online sellers would have. The gal I worked with even remembered our conversation on the phone and (free) gift wrapped the book I got. At Broadway Books, you get personalized and thorough service. Worth the trip.

My partner and i love Broadway books - super friendly staff!! During the holidays you can have books wrapped. my uncle lives in a different state and was able to habe a book wrapped and waiting for me - perfect if youre trying to surprise someone!

Super friendly staff! The only thing I would have like would be a bigger used book selection. I like to reuse books as much as possible. (:

A great place to come spend a few minutes. Friendly atmosphere with a great staff that knows and loves books. Lots of local authors drop by which is great to see as well.

After almost 26 years in business, still an extraordinary and wonderful store. Staff is extremely helpful and easy to deal with. Selection superb.

Love this independent bookstore with wide selection and friendly staff.

Always able to get what I am looking for if not in stock. Enjoyable chats as well.

Good selection of books. lots of local authors, fun events, good prices and good service

Best independent bookstore on Broadway! Amazing staff.

Amazing selection of books and other items perfect for gift giving.

A great bookstore with community activities and awesome staff.

Small but awesomely curated. They always have what Im looking for, plus what I didnt know I wanted until I got there!

Friendly and knowlegeable staff, and variety of interesting books.

This is a great little bookstore! Very accessible with knowledgeable staff! Much easier to navigate then Powells - they only have the good stuff!

Well-sticked, and responsive to book orders when they are needed, and which are efficiently handled.

Always feel welcomed here; love our neighborhood bookstore.

Terrific book selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Will be back again!

Great selection & great customer service

Nice well-organized book store. Very courteous staff.

Great, cozy bookstore. Despite the size an amazing selection of books. Definitely a favorite!

Love this local bookstore. Always super helpful and knowledgeable

Such a great local bookstore, always easy to find a quality book

I so appreciate Broadway Books and have for years. I love their newsletter! I always find something new from the tables and shelves that invite me. The staff is helpful, and even other customers are friendly. They order books for me (even by phone) and books arrive so quickly and I receive a call, Your Book is in! In a very rushed and aloof world I am grateful for this store of personal service. Our community is blessed with Broadway Books! Peace, Father John McGrann

A local bookstore that has a nice, small town charm

Went there for a book launch and was impressed by the fabulous selection.

Broadway books is a great neighbor bookstore! Good service, up-to-date information and a friendly place!

Best little bookstore periodKnowledgable and friendly staff to help you pick out just the right books. (Notice the plural!)

Lovely team members who are very knowledgeable and helpful!

The staff is so helpful and they have a great selection of books.

Broadway Books has all the virtues that youd hope for in an independent bookstore - friendly and knowledgeable staff, well chosen titles, author appearances, and a perfect atmosphere for finding your next read.

Really great book store, in the city with Powells. They have a great selection and great help!

Great service! Its easy to order books online and pickup in the store.

Great space for book readings. Great to support a local bookstore and small business.

Best bookstore in town because their service and selection are outstanding.

Super Knowledgeable staff with great suggestions for summer reads. Thanks Nicole

An awesome community of Portland relevant books and cards/postcards.

Great book store, very friendly staff.

Tiny space, big selection -- including local authors and local interest selections. Regular author talks and readings keep you coming back. Check their online schedule.

Good choices, informative displays, knowlegeable and helpful clerks.

Excellent small book store.

A small bookstore with plenty of calendars, planners, and presents alongside new releases.Alas it has a tiny young adult and fiction section, and no sci-fi or fantasy in sight so steer clear if those are your genres.Also it is incorrectly categorized as a used book store in Google maps, nothing in here is used.

Cute but small, prefer powells selection and prices.

Well curated selection of books for everyone

Strong selection. I do think the used books are overpriced though.

Nice neighborhood bookstore. Very friendly.

Better then Powells

All bookstores are Shangri-la. This is no different.

Excellent local bookstore.

Fun place

Great small bookstore

Lovely, cozy, local.

Friendly staff

Expensive but good

A true gem of a bookstore!!!!!
