What a gem, I could spend a full day here. There is a wide variety of books, games, kids activities and even some local eats. This is far superior to a Barnes and Noble or big book chain. I wish we had a book store like this in our city. The staff were great and checkout a breeze.

A perfect place to pick up a good book. We stopped by this shop today and it did not disappoint. More than books, Neighborhood Reads had pens, journals, bookmarks, puzzles, stuffed toys, fun kitchen items, and many other things. On our way out children were congregating for a Saturday event. It's heartwarming to see kids excited at a bookstore. Next time we're in the area we will stop in again. Read on, my friends.

A coworker told me about this place, so we made a special trip here from St. Charles County, and it was totally worth it. What a perfect little bookstore! I could easily have spent so much more money than I did; there were so many things I wanted. I will just have to come back. In addition to this being a great place to buy books and book-related gifts, they also had a vendor selling soap and other other related items which I thought was awesome - a small business supporting another small business. The guy who checked me out was super nice and helpful as well. Love this shop.

We were recently in Washington to visit family and one of their highly recommended spots was Neighborhood Reads. We loved it. My kids are 2 and 4 and the owners/employees were super patient and kind as my kids took forever to choose their books and stuffed animals. We ended up going back again the day before we left so I could pick up a few Christmas gifts. I love to be able to support a small shop and I found the pricing to be competitive, which was appreciated. The shop itself is also so welcoming and cute. I wish we could have stayed longer and attended a story time. I even bought a Neighborhood Reads tote bag I liked the shop so much. :)

Adorable place, so cozy and charming. Small but surprisingly diverse collection. If you like the movie You've Got Mail, you'll think this little shop is enchanting. ;)

Stumbled into this bookstore while out of state visiting family and fell IN LOVE! A nice quiet bookstore, with a great selection. We bought a few books there and also ordered some to have them shipped home to us. Thank y’all for a great experience!

My favorite independent bookstore with such a warm and cozy feel. They have a very large selection in every genre and a bunch of cute gifts and local handmade gifts. If for some reason it is not in the store they will order it for you. The workers are so nice and friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend this place!

Great little bookstore. Lots of books to choose from, and if they don't have something, they can order it for you. The staff was very friendly. They also sell local honey, candles, soap, and some other goodies. Definitely go and support your local business.

Magical. Simply Magical. This is the bookstore I wish I had the skill and creativity to curate. Fascinating finds in every corner. Start your day here and carry the infectious smile with you to share throughout the day. Seriously, don’t be in a hurry and be ready to discover the next read or gift for you or a treasured friend.

My favorite bookstore, the best customer service you will ever receive. My daughter and I decided to read a Chapter Book together, I couldn't find it anywhere but I promised her that I would find it. I called neighborhood reads after they were already closed, they said they had the book, they sold it to me over the phone and set it out in front of the store. I picked up the book that night, I don't know any other store that would do that for it's customers.

I will be supporting this local business for years to come!

Great little bookstore! This bookstore covers it all - children's to adult books, local and state themed books as well as gift ideas for all ages. Best reason to go there is not just to find a new book to get lost in, but Neighborhood Reads is alocally owned business!

Neighborhood Reads is adorable! They have a fantastic selection of books and book related gift items, everything has been mindfully curated. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about what's on the shelves. They have all the latest books and old classics to choose from as well as local handmade items. This shop is a pearl in Washington, MO and I bring all of my visiting friends to checking it out.
