Joy and Matt's Books 915 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202

"Lovely little bookstore with well-curated offerings. I've discovered several books I absolutely never would have otherwise. Friendly, quiet atmosphere."

"The lady running this place wasn't exactly welcoming. Her dog barked at us when we walked in. My 9 year old son asked to use the toilet and we got told the door didn't work. Fine, we said we would stand guard. My other son tried to enter and like two 9 year olds, they started to argue. The lady then shouted at my son about not closing the door. First of all, fix your door. Second, don't shout at kids whose parents just dropped 55 bucks on books. Over the top reaction to paying customers."

"Lovely new bookstore in downtown Cincinnati along Vine Street across from the Main Library. Pleasant fresh interior with some seating. Some used books. Very friendly staff."

"Such a good book store! They have a great variety, especially for being so small, and the lady there (she may be the owner, I'm not sure) was super friendly. I picked up this random book, so beautiful, but they also had the popular books I see YouTubers reading so the mix is good between unique and popular. Definitely recommend"

"The cutest little bookstore in the cutest little neighborhood. This is honestly one of the best bookstores I’ve ever visited in terms of unique selection (I found several books I had never seen before but really wanted to buy), plus a lovely atmosphere. The shopkeeper was incredibly kind and helpful, and they had an adorable puppy. I wish I could give this place more stars! Perfect for our rainy day in Cincy!"
