I was in Tampa for a Bucs game and searched for bookstores - I’m so glad this place was recommended to me!! I loved the layout and the staff notes/recommendations. I found 2 new books to add to my want to read list. If I find myself back in the area, will need to visit again!

i love this place!! it's my favorite book store. i much prefer it over going to barnes & noble (no hate to them, this place just feels more personable.) i love all the political stickers they have and the pride flags everywhere. this is a very welcoming atmosphere. my english teacher actually referred us to this shop to buy our books instead of ordering them online. love this place! <3

Wonderful bookstore and the most amazing people! I decided to spend the weekend celebrating turning a year older by visiting as many independent bookstores as possible and Tombolo did not disappoint. Upon entering, i received the warmest welcome. I found several books to add to my TBR stack. Excellent options!! When checking out, I asked about places to find soup and they helped me locate a great place. Highly recommend and will be back when in the area!

Anyone reading the TOG series and plans on doing a tandem read of EOS and TOD needs to come here! Not only do they have the entire series but they have a sticky set that you can buy that matches the colors of the books. The stickies also come in the cutest holder! I do suggest getting more than one pack unless you want to move the first few tabs as you read. The staff here is also so sweet, funny, and helpful. I have never found such a cute and cozy bookstore.

Wasn't able to get the Warrior cats enter the adventure limited release for independent bookstore day at my local location in Jacksonville FL and this store had 1 left and shipped it! Saved me and I get to add to my collection. The book arrived within a few days and packaged well. Thank you! (Its the top book on my shelf on the stand)

This space goes beyond welcoming to all, it also celebrates everyone’s diverse voices as a community. Many stores have different book clubs but this place also has a tweens/teens book club. They have a fantastic selection of books and merch. There is a great kids section too. Everyone was nice; even the customers were friendly at chatting. Grab a coffee from Black Crow next door as they share the outdoor back patio.

Cutest book store ever! We left with several new books to add to our collection. Books, stickers, and tons of other items to choose from. The staff were so friendly and pleasant to interact with. Such a cozy vibe and I loved the layout. It looks like they put on a ton of events as well. Definitely stop by and support this business! This is on our list to visit anytime we’re in the area.
