Reviews
The wide range of genres in this tiny little haven is excellent. Bit of a drive to get to, but worth the trip, great staff, great setup.
The space is so well used and put together. I love the variety of books and I adore the staff
Brazos is a haven for anyone seeking to explore the current landscape of literature. The staff work like curators at a museum, and the selection of books is exemplary. Books for all ages, all subjects, and all manner of curiosity. It is a beautiful place.
I buy all my books here (except for religious books, which I buy at church). I never use Amazon for anything, books included, because it abuses its employees. I always prefer brick and mortar stores anyway, especially Mom & Pop businesses. Brazos Bookstore is perfect!
Very friendly and helpful staff. Website is easy to check on available books. I was looking for a specific book and prefer to support local businesses, and was pleasantly surprised to find exactly what I needed. The website even tells the location (although that may be superfluous since it's a cozy store). In-person purchase was easy and enjoyable, and the store itself is tidy, cheerful, and enjoyable to visit
Wow! This bookstore is great! They have a great selection of books. There's also themed areas including Halloween, black authors, and indigenous voices. The children's area is also great and has books for all ages. There are author signing events too. The staff is super friendly and helped us quickly. Make sure to bring a card because they're not taking cash at this moment. The parking lot is also spacious!
A definite Houston staple and a must visit for any book lover.
Brazos Bookstore is bright, spacious and always spotlessly clean. They have a private, kids area/room in the back, which my kids enjoy very much so they often head straight there upon entering the store. The kids’ area isn’t as filled to the brim like the big chain bookstores, so my girls don’t get overwhelmed with choices.
Their displays are changed frequently so there’s always new things to look at. The stuff gives knowledge recommendations, are always patient and friendly. They host many book events in person and on zoom. They also have a great stationery selection.
I just love this bookstore.
What a beautiful and peaceful bookstore! I visited yesterday where there was a publisher’s event. I saw a great mix of new releases, classics, books that were on my radar, and books that immediately made my “Want to Read” list. There was some nice stationery and journals as well. Chain bookstores can be so overwhelming with choices so you usually just get what you came for and leave, but Brazos had employee reviews, and hosts monthly book clubs, making your purchase feel much more worthwhile. I ended up buying a book for my students, and a YA novel that will be discussed in their book club. It even came with a free nail polish! I can’t wait to visit Brazos again!
Local bookshop that serves most of inner loop as far as local bookstores go. It’s pretty basic inside so doesn’t feel like a romanticized quaint book shop if that’s your thing. I thought they had good book recommendations and I’ve heard …
Management changed within the last year or so and it honestly no longer feels as welcoming as it once did. I used to rush back to visit brazos every time I came home and tell everyone to visit, but now it just feels like a shell if it’s …
