I was in New Orleans during the weekend of the Anne Rice All Saints Day Celebration. Of course I had to visit The Garden District Book Shop to see what treasures I could find. I had the best time there. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They absolutely know their stuff, and helped me pick some gems to add to my collection. As a life-long Anne Rice fan, visiting the store was more like a religious experience for me, and the staff made my time there so special. I can't imagine a more perfect way to enjoy an afternoon than lounging on a comfy couch, and sipping on a Vampire's Kiss cocktail while admiring all the new books I just bought as Stevie Nick's Gold Dust Woman played overhead! I couldn't have planned that better myself. The staff at The Garden District Book Shop really know how to create the perfect atmosphere for a reader like me. I can't wait to go back! 10/10

The Garden District Book Shop is located inside the Rink Shopping Center in the Garden District.
This little bookstore is such a charming stop. It’s small, but the cozy vibe and seating area make it a perfect place to take a break and flip through a book after strolling around the beautiful neighborhood.
Staff are very friendly.
If you love the mix of books and local New Orleans charm, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely loved this bookstore housed inside the Rink! Left armed with books and inspiration on what my future dream bookstore could look like.
Diverse, extensive and well-organised collection of books across genres. Thoughtful, hand-written staff recommendations to help you pick.
Cozy seating at various spots, including a living-room style sofa arrangement you could spend hours reading in or catching up with friends.
A cute, well-stocked bar at the back – where even the bartender was catching up on her reading!
Super helpful staff who even went down to the storage to check for a book we were interested in.
And best of all, Pete, the gentlest, friendliest dog to pet in case just book therapy isn’t enough 🙂
