Reviews of Red Balloon Bookshop
Amy WorkmanNot a lot I can say that hasn't been said, obviously a wonderful shop. We're recently moved to StP from Mpls and it's like WR with maybe not as many books and more toys/gifts. Few helpful tips:
- Parking in rear. Can park in the large lot for that area or their own small lot right behind the store. That's where pick up orders are held or you can walk the little path to the right to the front to go in.
- They have a lot besides books: toys and gifts. I found some cute stocking stuffers. But if you're bringing small kids be prepared for them to likely be totally distracted by the toys and barely interested in the books.
- Plenty of staff to get help with suggestions and we had no wait time for checking out on a busy Saturday.
-MSRP on books, so please support places like this instead of giant online retailers! They have a free points club where you get something after $100 spent, I missed what it was though...
-Their website has a plethora of info.
Gaojoua Ly Ka SoThe cutest little book shop. In the front of the store there’s chalk for anyone to doodle on the sidewalk, and when you get in it’s so cozy. An array of kids books from all ages. Everything you’d want from a bookstore. My oldest found a huge stock of comics that is hard to find in other stores. We joined the membership and will be back!
Susan WroblewskiA wonderful space for browsing! I placed an order online for a few books; they communicated very clearly as to when they were ready. Curbside pickup is available, but who doesn't want to spend some time checking out new items on the shelf? The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Check them out!
Ashley Diane WorshamWhat a lovely shop! It's well-stocked with books for all ages, ranging from classics to contemporary favorites. Unlike some stores, it truly is a bookstore first and a toy/game/tchotchke seller second. That said, if you're looking for more than just books, it's excellent for that as well! I picked up several stickers and a postcard. Next time I go, I need to grab a cotton tote bag.
Jenn ReidyLove Red Balloon 🎈 They offer great service and the store is always neat, clean and organized. They also have great events for readers of all ages, gift cards for the picky reader in your life and a wealth of knowledge about books. …
Joaquin MuñozLove this place! Amazing books, amazing prices, and wonderful selection, especially children's, young adult fiction. Lots of cool gifts too. Staff here is super nice.
And be on the lookout for the bear with the scarf 😁😁😁
Monica BartonLovely book shop. Great place for gift shopping or a present for yourself. The shop has a little bit of everything, and I will definitely be back.
Rebekah AndersonSuch a neat store! So many great books both classic and new! Super friendly and helpful staff! Wish I could have bought all of the fun books I found. Would deffenetly come back.
Brian Kurt**EDIT TO ORIGINAL**
I am editing my original review because it sounds like you have since changed the mask requirement. Thank you for your consideration and responsiveness. My family and I will definitely be back!
It's definitely a great little store. And I love to support a small, locally owned bookstore over the Amazons of the world.
But I gotta admit the shopping experience is not overly pleasant currently. They are literally the only place of business I have been to in the last 6 months or more that is still requiring a mask. I am not some crazy anti-mask guy by any means, I will wear one of the situation is appropriate, but at this point in the pandemic, what purpose is requiring masks at a bookstore serving? Especially now that vaccines are approved all the way down to 6 months old.
Anyway, love the store, love to support local, but they gotta catch up with the rest of society and drop the mask requirement.
