Green Bean Books

"A delight. I trust the staff's recommendations; they’re so knowledgeable about the material, and it’s curated beautifully. Get a punch card: you’ll be coming back."

"Small bookstore with a decent amount of variety. I liked that they had books in languages other than English, but the selection was small and limited. We came in looking for a book for Earth Day and were not able to find something that fit the bill, but we did find another book on a different subject that our child now loves to read. Will visit again."

"Green Bean Books is the BEST bookstore I've been to in Portland. The staff are friendly and accommodating and always know exactly what books to recommend. The energy in the store is adorable and if I could spend all my spare time in the store I would. Earl and Rowan are the best! Get all ya books at the Greenest Bean!"

"Green Bean books is a great locally owned, small bookstore for kids. Earl seems to know and has read every book in the store, and all they want to do is please the readers. The place is small and can get crowded, so we try not to linger too long. They love to give during Halloween by giving out gift bags with Halloween designs on them, and there is always a line. But the books are moderately priced and always a great selection. Easy to find one for a gift or for your own child"

"Charm to spare in this small bookstore, with quirky little art here and there and lots of great children's books. Perfect little patio area for author readings. It makes my heart happy that there are still wonderful little bookstores thriving like this one."
