Reviews
"This place is so cool, tons of books with many themed rooms for showcasing their selection. Small fireplace area to sit, and a tasty coffee bar. They also have cool little nick nacks, comical cards, and games/puzzles that can be bought as gifts. Will be a stop for us every time we walk through Geneva's third street."
"Very cute book store with lots of book options. Love the indoor decor. Nice coffee shop downstairs as well."
"Most adorable and welcoming bookstore! There are so many books but it's not too over whelming either. Very organized and clean. They also have a small cafe! There are nooks and seating around as well. I felt at ease browsing around and making myself comfortable while peeking inside books. The child section is great too. You can also find cute pins, bookmarks, totes, games and stickers to purchase."
"Harvey’s is one of the best independent bookstores I’ve ever visited! They have all the newest books and best sellers, plus a banned book room, true crime nook, kids’ room, and so much more. If that’s not enough, they also have a marvelous coffee shop! The staff here is phenomenal and I love their rewards program. Shop local and keep this gem in Geneva!"
"Harvey’s tales just about the cutest bookstore I’ve ever been to. It has all the feels of a fun never-know-what-you’re-gonna-find bookstore but the cleanliness and organization of a corporate bookstore. The place is named after the owners former Bernese mountain dog and they have little nods to their dog all through out the place. They’ve got a nice quaint little coffee shop in the middle of the store that you’ve got to stop at. Play some XL scrabble while you sip on some great coffee. The upstairs has a reservable book club room that is quiet and private. There are plenty of reading nooks to use as well."
