Chamblin's Uptown 215 North Laura Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202

"This is primarily a book store but there is a small cafe that we didn't eat at. Chamblins has 2 locations. This one is easier to find titles in than the older location but either make up the best used bookstore in town by far. If you like to read a real book, your kids need to get their reading list or you just want to research history, science or science fiction, the Go to Chamblins!"

"Very intimate, nicely curated book store with a wonderfully cozy vibe. Employees are incredibly kind and helpful. Could not recommend this place enough."

"This was my first time to this location, normally I go to the bookmine. But, this one is close to home and I just wanted to get out of the house. There are two floors, though I only needed the first. Staff is super friendly and after I bought the book I was looking for, I went to the cafe side. Their prices are super cheap, I like it was less than 3 bucks for my iced coffee. I say for a few hours and read/annotated my book before going home. This place is a treasure and I plan to make a weekly trip of my visit now. I've always loved this store, and the Uptown location was a very satisfying visit."

"You can ALWAYS find a nice treasure here. The coffee is good, the atmosphere is great. Every corner has books, and it's a small made inside. You cannot be in a rush when you look for a book. Just relax and ask for help. Lol."

"This bookstore is exceptionally phenomenal. The atmosphere was exquisite. With a two-story location that's small, it uses the space to capture a cozy vibe. As a disabled individual who has to use an accessibility tool, I didn't find it challenging to move from one point to another using a cane. The books they deemed "used" were of excellent quality compared to other vendors such as Thriftbooks and Amazon. The customer service was superb in that the level of care they show books—their knowledge of the location's footprint by author by memory. The book selection was also varied in topics, carried multiple copies, and had a variety of new and old."
