Above-and-beyond, quick service! For my Boston friend’s birthday books, I wanted to buy from a small business. But having only recently given up the “2-day shipping” habit, I started online shopping just a few days in advance. Since I’m out of state, it was going to cost a fortune to get books to my friend on time. Enter Porter Square Books and their local delivery option to the rescue! The books got to him on time, PSB sent me email confirmations at every step in the process and a text when they dropped off the books, and they even added a Happy Birthday note on my behalf!!
Dispel any myths of the local bookstore disappearing (at least in Porter Square) - this bookstore is packed with books AND people (both patrons and extremely friendly and helpful staff). They have some great recommendations sections; host open mic nights once a month; and frequently have authors, poets, or speakers giving intimate talks.
I love this place! It’s just a magical, quaint bookshop with a great book selection for all ages. Coffee and pastries are also good. I’ve been going for ten years and the charm hasn’t worn off.
I love coffee shops in bookshops. Independently run coffee shops in independently run bookshops are the stuff of fantasy in a world where chain stores rule. So obviously Porter Square Books and Zing Cafe get points for merely existing, the latter inside the former. My obvious fanaticism aside, this is a great place to browse new books; from poetry to politics, sip on a latte or type away furiously at your latest writing project.
Great local bookstore with a well-curated selection. Good place for people to pick up gifts for others or a page-turner for themselves. Never tried the cafe there yet but may return to do so someday. Would definitely recommend any book lover to check out this location while nearby.
