Wonderful new and used book shop with two floors, a great selection, and a cat! Very large section of local books and works by artists in NOLA. The staff was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. I picked up some Hemingway today, but saw four or five other books that I’ll need to purchase next time I come. This is what bookstores should be not big box stores and Blue Cypress fits perfectly in a beautifully eclectic neighborhood.
I love that we have a used bookstore! I lived in another city for a short time that had a Half Price Books and I always wished we had something like it with a good selection There was a great collection of notable fiction including the classics and some wonderful local finds. I was looking for something specific which they didn’t have. The associate did order the book for me and have since ordered many new releases too. Also major plus is the bookstore cat!
BEST BOOKSTORE EVER Constant haunt of ours when we lived in Nola and a guaranteed stop every time we visit. Worth every penny to still buy books from them and have them shipped! The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable!! What more could you ask for?!
Loved this bookshop! The selection was large, the atmosphere was so cozy, and I loved how there were chairs everywhere! In total I got 8 books from this shop. If I can, I’ll totally come back! Plus, their cat was just adorable.
Very friendly atmosphere and workers. The pictures are a bit out dated when you look up this place. It’s a quite place, I would definitely go back.
Had an ok experience. Alarm kept going off and employee didn’t do anything. Another employee had to come from upstairs to address the issue. Wasn’t greeted upon walking in and had no idea about the different books available and where to locate them. Bought two books and upon checking out staff was friendly. Street parking where you have to pay with an app.
Elizabeth & Leann, have been steering this FABULOUS ship for years! The variety, for me, cook books, local, historical, and, hard to find, meet the author events, the service, they find & source books upon request, all in a very personal and friendly atmosphere! It is a treat to go and look at everything that may be in the store! This place is a rare jewel!
Beautiful, local book store with a variety of new and used books. Many local zines, books, and booklets! They have cute gift ideas near the register.
First time visiting with a friend. The moment that I walked into Blue Cypress Books I was excited immediately! The entire book store is covered in books. It may sound odd, but honestly every wall from top to bottom was a book shelf. That made this location extra cozy. Jazz music was playing with the room temperature perfected for a read on-site. Unfortunately there is no place to read. The book selection is massive and I especially loved the antique book area. Used books and new books from all genres. I wish I had gotten her name, but the sales clerk was outstanding and I even provided me with a suggestion when I asked one of her favorite books. I will definitely return soon!
Great atmosphere, awesome cat that wanders around and lets everyone pet her. Great selection of books and plenty space to sit back and read
