Vroman"s Bookstore in Hastings Ranch is much smaller than the one on the Colorado St. Pasadena. I love the coziness and everything here too

Came here for wrapping paper/bag for a birthday gift. Found other stuff too, bags were great, even had a bit of a theme, my daughter loved it all! Staff was super nice too! I gave it a 4 because last time I was looking for a book they don't have.

I've been going to Vroman's ever since I was a kid. Albeit I grew up going to the Colorado location, I always have fond memories of Vroman's bookstore. I appreciate that they are always well stocked and eager to help find any book. In the day and ago where you can order anything and have it shipped to your door it nice to support a staple and local bookstore.Vromans also offers curbside pick up which is also nice but there's just something about the smell of books and pursuing the aisles of the store.

Superb service. As soon as I walked in friendly Serena helped me find the books I wanted. One book was not at their location and she called and ordered it for me from another location. Ashley called me the next day that it's ready for pickup. A++++ service. Prices are a little higher than online, but it’s worth it.

This is the biggest bookstore near where do I live, they have a nice display and variety of books with different speciality, from cooking, math,science, reflexology, gardening, novels, children books, magazines etc, their prices are kind of high but they have a section of sale books and you can check them and personally I always find something, everytime I come. You should visit them, they have a lot things to offer. See you there😉.

Storytime starts at 10:30 a.m and it's very sweet and intimate for your little one. They have a rug for children to sit and they get to borrow a stuffed animal while they are being read to.

Not as big as the one west of lake st near old town, but they are helpfu.lStock of books is obviously not as good either, but they were willing to try to order it. Still , it's nice that there are still places to actually hold and read a REAL book. As much as I like digital, some things yiu just want a real book for.

Being that I love bookstores, I of course love this one too. Given the relatively small space there is a huge selection of books of all genres, stationary and fun little gifts as well. Always very friendly and helpful employees who will help you find what you need within the store. If what you are looking for doesn’t happen to be there, they will help you find it somewhere else.

Very well organized, very well selected items, such as kids educational toys, kitchenware, decorations, umbrellas, cute socks, & more. It was my 1st time visit, & I loved it. The staffs are super friendly & helpful. I will definitely return if I visit the area again.

I love a good used bookstore because when u find one u find the best Gem's this is one of those. I went looking for a fantastic Used bookstore and was not disappointed at all. When u go in there is so much space and stuff is easy to roam the rows and you feel welcomed and it's a relaxing environment that allows to to take your time. I will be going back, also the prices seem great and the people who run it were very look. I hope even more people visit.

Well organized, not a huge selection but wide variety, cute random trinkets and gifts, cards section, game and puzzles section, nice ambiance, friendly staff. And I found my book. So im happy.Forgot what it was like to roam the aisles of a bookstore. There's some therapy in that.

This is my kind of bookstore . Really my kind of store in general. While they have all the sections you would expect to find at Barnes and Noble there seems to be special attention to what kind of stock they've curated. Interesting books by lesser known authors are highlighted and the staff is knowledgable about literature. Also there's much more than books. For a midsized store I got inadvertantly lost in there for about 3 hours.

Great bookstore, always fun to explore. Staff is cheerful & helpful. Hard to resist finding something unique or worth gifting (yourself?) Free parking, (next to Whole Foods).

Vromans is a fabulous bookstore and gift shop! Support independent bookstores instead of buying from that online behemoth that tracks everything you look at and hounds you to buy something if you look and don't purchase. Support a local business that creates local jobs instead of buying fuel for Jeff Bezos's rocket. And when you visit Vromans, if you join their Gives Back program they will donate a portion of your purchase to a local charitable organization of your choice so you can help fund pet adoptions at the local animal shelter or support some other worthy cause when you buy a book.

This is a smaller version of the Original bookstore which I love. Staff was friendly & helpful in helping me find a specific book. However I prefer the original store becuz it has a much wider selection of books, stationary and other items. But if can't make it over there, this is a nice substitute.

>^..^< wonder plus bewilderment and the joy of being entombed in the labryinthine passages of an actual bookstore with people who talk to you andreccomend if you have the same taste. If they don't have the book, they do their best to order it. They have book clubs amongst other events. And right next door is Whole Foods where you can get your healthy Groceries. We're a community still, just because these screens give us access to our faces once the brightness dies down and then we're back to our lonely faces hidden by the oily black. Even just interacting with the cashier for five minutes is 8 Gadrillion times better than visiting Disneyland.GABBATRON, Beth, and Noah

Excellent family owned bookstore. Very helpful staff. Free parking. Lots of books. This is their second store, the main store is in Pasadena on the north side of Colorado Boulevard, west of Lake Street.

Knowledgeable personnel and not only a phenomenal book selection, they have all sorts of wonderful gifts for the person who has everything.

Can't even give it a star. Tanya (assistant manager) and Yvette were so unhelpful and rude, I was so taken aback. I never write reviews. But seriously, if you don't like your retail job find another type of employment. As someone who worked in retail for years, I know the feeling, but I never treated customers the way these two did. WOW!!

Although inventory is not as large as that in the Pasadena store it is more than sufficient for most shoppers. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful as you would expect from a Vromens.
