One of the best bookstores in the city. Their coffee drinks are delicious, and they offer a small but potent collection of books across a wide range of genres. These are book people through and through. I LOVE Volumes and you will too!

A cozy bookstore with a little cafe! The cafe is pretty limited but there’s nice seating to work or read and a good selection of books. They have both new and used books and the used books are really a bargain! I would definitely recommend stopping in.

Mid bookstore. The categories of books make it so the selection is really limited. It's less crowded than Myopic, but it's a lot louder. The store music gives it a k-mart or grocer vibe. Cafe food and drink was mid. Solid 3.

So happy they reopened!!! 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳

Great spot. Super convenient on public transit by both buses and trains. The place seems to be divided into two. One area for the food and another for the books. Great drink selection, I went there on a cold rainy day and the warm latte really hit the spot. As for the seating, there are a few tables set up in the cafe area, if you choose to read and eat and also a few in the store itself if you only wish to read. There was a good selection of outlets too so this is 100% a spot you can come work at. As for the books themselves, there is an excellent selection. You can choose from children's books to bestsellers. They also have puzzles and little toys to choose from. I really like that they have some pencils already laid out for writing. They also have 3 book clubs that meet usually on the second Thursday of the month. You can just drop by whenever you want! The three are: Book of the Month, Sci-fi/Fantasy book of the Month and Feminist book of the Month. I would suggest reading these books even if you can't make the event. (They have very good choices each month) My highlight however was that this place has $3 blind books and the money all goes to a charity. However you can only buy these with cash.

Such a great place to buy or read a book, grab a coffee, or relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Great aesthetic, decent selection of new and used books, and a friendly staff

We paid a visit to Volumes to get chai lattes and pick up some children's books for Christmas presents. The children's section was very cute and cozy, and the book collection was moderate in size but well curated. Overall, a very pleasant place to spend a cold Chicago afternoon!

Really lovely and relaxing place.

My new favorite bookstore. A very nice variety of books, friendly and helpful staff, and you do not have the crazy expensive pricing of most indie bookstores! I was pleasantly shockingly surprised at the fair price point for the books! Can’t wait to return! This store will be my go to! They have a rewards program, and partnered with one of the food/beverage vendors in the building to provide a little discount! Sweet children’s area, too!

Really cool space with something for everyone. Went there for a book talk, my daughter got restless and they have a great space for kids to read in the back. Saw multiple authors that I love, with new books I hadn't seen yet. Also looked like a nice selection of coffee, tea, beer, and wine (didn't sample any) with space to sit and work or chat. Locally-owned, woman-owned, will definitely be back!

Stopped by while visiting my friend, and this place is great! I love finding book cafes. 😁 Friendly staff, great books to browse, and you can grab a coffee, tea, or snack while you're there!

I loved it , it was so cute and had a good selection of books for affordable prices!! ,I'm for sure coming again.

Love love love the new store! It’s cozy and full of books and coffee and places to sit to write or read…perfection! So glad they are back in Wicker Park!

Love when books meet coffee. It’s a great coffee shop to find your next read. They also have games and puzzles to do.

Wonderful independent bookstore with a terrific selection run by amazing people who clearly love books. They also have coffee.

Volumes is a lovely, cozy bookstore with an impeccable selection of books. I always find a new treasure when I stop by, and being able to grab a coffee to sip on while I browse is just delightful! The selection here isn't massive, but there's a little bit of everything, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. If you're in the market for books, close the Amazon app and stop into Volumes. You won't regret it!

Such a cute neighborhood spot for books. I love bringing my nanny kid for their story time. They are very accommodating and let me roll the stroller inside. There is also a cafe in store; I always get an iced oatmilk latte (always frothy and perfectly balanced) and a seasonal pastry; this fall it's an apple galette and it is absolutely to die for warmed up. There is also an adorable assortment of gifts for adults and children. I also always see people working around the bookstore and it seems like a cozy place to do that.

So happy Volumes is my neighborhood bookstore! They host interesting events and discussions, have a great selection of books with handwritten recommendations, and a magical kids section. Plus a cafe!

Wonderful staff, beautiful place with a nice selection of current books. I performed there for an open mic and it was done so well for me and the other performers.

Such a cozy place! Not a huge menu, but everything you need for an afternoon chatting with friends or studying. The bookstore has a great mix of titles and genres to browse. There are two separate seating areas between the cafe and bookstore, which adds a nice division of space. Spent a couple hours here and really enjoyed it!

I loved my visit here and will be back for more used books. It’s so cute and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

The bookstore is great, nice size and selection. But it's the staff that keep me coming back. They are able to make great suggestions based on vague ideas of what I'm looking for, or who I'm shopping for, every time.

Great bookstore space. Place to read and work. Wide ranging books from adult fiction, non fiction, young adult and kinds. Highlight books that may not represented on typical bookshelf. We walked away with a bag full of books.

Great coffee, amazing book selection, and really cool vibe. Support a local business and come here!

Take out books! Good service. Requested no bag and was fulfilled

A book store and cafe in one with tons of seating, outlets, coffee choices, and a regular events. It's a lot larger than the outside shows, so keep walking towards the back for more seating options.

The drinks were delicious and it was a very cozy place to read. They had a broad range of books and some other neat finds too.
