Birch Tree Bookstore

Walked into this place on a whim and couldn't be happier that I did. Such a hidden gem in downtown Leesburg. It's exactly the type of store you like to visit and support. Plants aren't my thing but I was actually really interested in what they had which seemed to flow well with the bookstore.For a smaller book store, their selection was impressive and the staff was super friendly. This will be a regular stop for me and I can't recommend it enough. I'd much rather support a local owned store like this than a big box store.

Very nice little plant/book store. Nice selection of plants in good health. Decent variety of books. They have a small kids section. Aisles are very tight and rooms are small.

Love my local bookstore! Great variety of books, plants and assorted items in such a small spot! The monthly book clubs offer something for everyone and help me connect with my community. Looking forward to future events and watching the business blossom!

Love this bookshop! Superb selection - really the best of the best for every genre you’re looking for and mood you’re in. I could browse all day! The non book items are also adorable, and the plant selection is fantastic. Their new space is roomier and in a cool historic building in downtown Leesburg. This is a best in class independent book store well worth a visit!

This was the cutest bookstore! There is a great selection of both popular and unique selections! As a bonus, it's combined with a plant shop! Books and plants! wahoo! Definitely worth a stop!

This bookstore is so quaint and perfectly lovely! Since this is a small, locally-owned bookstore the selection might be more limited, but I had no trouble finding exciting new reads. Along with their well-organized main section, they have a lovely children's book and YA section with neat crafting sets and unique toys. The stationary section of the store was also a wonderful surprise with very high-quality English sets. I haven't even told you about what makes this bookstore stand out... They have a connected plant store (EcoAmi Plants) with a large variety of beautiful plants. Potted plants for sale are also sprinkled among the books making for a cozy aesthetic throughout the shop. Check them out or attend one of their local events that they hold with partner vendors from Historic Leesburg's small-business owners. They also host a bookclub with featured authors, including local ones. A real LoCo gem!

The perfect cozy independent book store that every community needs!! A great selection of both books and various gifts. Also a big fan of their book clubs - there are so many options and a great way to bring the community together. Highly recommend!

I love this place--books and plants in the same location? Can't go wrong with that. There are also great crafted items. The book clubs that you can join are varied and fantastic. You can find all of them on their website, and you can register there too. This place is the total package--you can go in and see the books and chat with Leah and her crew, or you can stay home and order books from their website. I like having those options, because sometimes I'm looking for a good book and want to ask around. The folks here are incredibly good at helping you find books you'll love. I highly recommend this shop! Have a photo of my Stromanthe Triostar that I found at Birch Tree from EcoAmi

This quaint little bookstore is located in the heart of Historic Leesburg. It's awesome , small but very friendly. There is a small little cafe and at great place to sit outside and converse with a friend or hold a Book Club meeting.

What an adorable little bookstore with a great selection of books located conveniently in downtown Leesburg next to Cowbell Kitchen just above the Corner Store! We bought some books for my niece(5 yold) and nephew(7 yold) and they absolutely LOVE them! My wife and I also got a great cookbook with delicious recipes! It's so nice to have a wide variety of books for kids and adults to choose from! Thanks Leigh for creating this wonderful bookstore! Great place to go for Holiday gifts! Highly recommend checking it out!

Lea and her new shop are fabulous. The space is in the back two rooms on the second floor above Cowbell Kitchen / The Corner Store’s Leesburg location. It’s seems like a truly historic property, with steeply raked stairs and uneven floors room-to-room. But what you find inside is well worth the effort. The shop is packed (packed!) with books on every wall, in every corner, and down the middle of the shop. They stock books for all ages and many different tastes. I went in for advice on longer bedtime books that I could read to my young kids for at least 20-25 minutes without worrying about scary themes or coarse language. Lea went above and beyond, introducing me to a half-dozen options and giving me the time to explore. I left with three books, and my son already loves them all. This is the kind of attention and care that I think is missing from so much of the 21st-century book-buying experience. So glad I found this shop.I highly recommend BTB. My kids and I will definitely be back.My only wish is that BTB had a bigger space that was easier to access from the street, but don’t let that stop you from visiting. Lea is so sweet; I’m sure she’d be willing to accommodate customers that can’t make it upstairs or across sloping floors. Give this place a shot!

Birch Tree Books hosted a book signing when I released my first children’s book. Leah and Lauren were so supportive and friendly! Not only are they adding a great shopping spot for downtown Leesburg, but they are celebrating local artists, too! Thank you all so much for your support. If you want to go anywhere in DT Leesburg, make this your first stop :)
