Belmont Books

Such a great bookstore. Great atmosphere and staff. Can sit in there read a book and have a coffee. It's beautiful little store.

I adore Belmont Books. They have a great selection of books for all types of readers. The staff is knowledgeable and able to help you choose books. If you’re not an “ask the staff” type person, they have great displays of books from Staff Picks to TikTok made me read it.

lovely little bookstore and cafe! i had the french toast bagel which was so tasty. I really enjoyed the staff picks book section because sometimes its just hard to know what to read. will definitely be on my list if im in the area again

Great place and the black bear cafe is fantastic. The coffee is delicious and so are the pastries,good quality and wide variety. They integrate new items to the menu from time to time like soups or mac and cheese which is nice and again very tasty. I am glad there is such place in Belmont and it is definitely my new favorite spot in town.

Remember local bookstores? You won’t forget this family-owned gem right in Belmont Center. They have a great selection, can quickly order you anything they don’t, and have a cafe as well. Check it out to be reminded what book browsing was like before Amazon.

I love their system for pre-paid pick-ups on books in their outdoor lobby area.

This is wonderful. A great place to work, do homework, or read books for hours on end. The cafe is great, I especially suggest the hot chocolate. Belmont Books has a great variety of not only books, but also journals and a nice little reading spot upstairs near the staircase. This is a great place for books gifts, especially for young children. It's a wonderful bookstore, and I absolutely suggest going to it to buy books or even just to browse.

Really charming local bookstore. The book selection is satisfying and offers quite unique and interesting titles as well. The prices are competitive with big chain bookstores and reasonable. The children’s area is packed with lots of fun books, toys, games and puzzles. Great spot to hit for birthday gifts. The book selection is good, My kids always find titles they like. There is little nooks and chairs for kids to sit and flip through books. The bookstore also has a cafe that sells great coffee and tasty pastries. The atmosphere is bright and cheery and the store is always neat and clean. It is definitely worth a trip if you have it done it so far!

Great selection of books.

Excellent bookstore with amazing staff. We love the kids section upstairs. One of my daughter's favorite things is coming here for a new book, and then reading it in the kid's nook by the window. Great themed events, too - since signing up for the email list, we've been here for Harry Potter night, Halloween parties, etc... really glad to have a local bookstore like this!

My favorite local independent book store. Support independent bookstores. Good curation if books and you support your local community.

Charming little two-story book store, in a lovely part of Belmont. I had passed by this shop many a time and finally had a chance to go in one day. They had great local products like hand made bags, and also some books from well known writers. They have a cafe on site, which was lovely, and some seating as well, if you wanted to stay and read while having your order from the cafe.

Upstairs was the children's section, which was adorable, and which also includes game and toys, and a tiny reading nook for the children visiting. I loved this shop, and would love to go back again.

They have a great selection of books and great customer service. I couldn't find a book I was looking for and I asked if they had it and they showed me where it was.

Very pleasant book store with a vast variety of different books from new prints to classics. Plus having a great Cafe to indulge in food with a new book to read! Will definitely be going here for gift ideas and have a bite to eat as well!

Belmont Books is a wonderful local bookstore with a fantastic collection. The kids section upstairs is particularly amazing, with all of the classics, lots of new books, and a fun layout. The displays are always very thoughtful and well organized. The staff is fantastic, always happy to help with recommendations. Thanks!

Such a great local bookstore! I really appreciated how, when a pre-order was delayed due to COVID related supply chain disruptions, they were super helpful, reaching out to keep me updated on the status of the order. Plus there's a Cafe in the store with delicious coffee and pastries.

One of my favorite places in the universe. The staff is warm , friendly and helpful and they know books. The store is good about ordering something that you might not find on their shelves. Belmont is fortunate to have this store and everyone in the town should go out of his/her way to patronize it instead of e.g., the dreaded Amazon. The store has a small cafe with good coffee-- a cool place to meet a friend.

Very charming place! I enjoyed the cafe, too!

It is amazing. I can be on earth one second and the next I am in the lounge on the children's floor engrossed in a book for hours. The food is also great, the coffee is outstanding and the tea is addicting. If you go there, try out every single book in the shop

I didnt buy anything but the atmosphere is very cozy and inviting. Great aroma of coffee and an interesting employee recommendation system, where they leave little placards describing their favorites. If you like small indie bookstores, thats what they describe themselves as!
