Politics and Prose Bookstore

"Excellent book store. Excellent coffee shop and cafe downstairs. Cafe gets very busy, seating at a premium. Customers and neighborhood is a bit yuppyish, but that is not the bookstores fault."

"I have been going to this bookstore since I was a kid and it’s always a treat! The curation is fantastic - if I’m ever in a book slump where I have nothing to read, I can go here and easily find a bunch of books I’m excited about. Some good games, reading accessories, etc and a nice sale section as well. They have great author events (held at the back of the store with the lovely windows facing the trees behind it, so peaceful) and even a good cafe downstairs. I was a big fan of the children’s section setup when I was a kid. I highly recommend this location!"

"This has to be one of the better bookstores in the DC area. In fact, it's more than just a bookstore- if you need more than a bookstore. There's a cafe here as well. I think the thing I was most impressed with was the staff. They are kind and friendly and most of all they really know their books. My kid got a great recommendation from a kind woman, which was very useful since he is not really a reader. Maybe now he will be."

"Last night's author launch of Ciera Burch's debut book, Finch House, was amazing!! What a talented writer, I can't wait to read my book and see what more comes from this thoughtful talent!"

"We visited this bookstore for the first time today. It was lovely. The staff were super knowledgeable and friendly. The book selection was amazing. I can't wait to go back."
