    Very cozy place. Book selection was good prices are half what's on the cover.The cats were so cute. There were quite I few people when I went but once they left it was better and easier to see the cats. Owner was lovely and helped with all our question.

    I love this bookstore!! It’s my favourite place to grab a coffee and a new book, and pet the sweet cats and kittens. My kids love it here. The owner and staff are wonderful, generous people. Check it out - you will love it too!!

    Loved it! Some great finds. A small YA section but with some very popular books. We said hello to a very sweet farm cat and got some great coffees and pastry. Will be back!

    Always well stocked. Lots of new arrivals each time I'm in. Well organized. Clean. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Many genres. Parking. Coffee. It's what I want in a used bookstore. Full stop.

    There needs to be more of this. The staff and cats were great! Books are 1/2 price of the retail price printed on the back. I left with an armful. Will definitely return.

    This is a PUURRRFECT bookstore. What more could you ask for? It has books, coffee AND CATS!!! I love visiting Seamus, he is such a gentle cat. I walked around the store with him in my arms, and he purred the entire time. Looking forward to my next visit. 🐾💙

    It was a pleasure meeting Ellen (owner/operator) and Seamus the bookstore cat! 🐈 😻 From the newest to the classics, this used bookstore has it all at very reasonable prices. Want to lounge, browse in person, and enjoy a cup of coffee or a cold drink? Then go to Otis & Clementine's!

    We love Otis and Clementine! My girls are now 2&4, but we’ve been taking them since they were newborns. It’s important to teach your children to respect animals, and always supervise their interactions. We almost always leave with a new (to us) book. Spanish language classes are great, and the Lego in the back is also a huge hit!

    An amazing store in so many ways! Perfect selection of books, and the cats put it over the top. Grab a new book, cup of coffee, and pet some sweet kittens. Memorable experience every time I go!

    Please be cautious of young children and senior cats residing here. Please do not have your children pet the senior cats. My 5 year old daughter was instructed by the person managing the store to be careful with the senior cat, but unfortunately the cat did break skin with a small bite. Also unfortunately this was her first experience with cats, and was following the directions from the person in charge by only petting the cat in a certain way(she did not make any sudden movements nor grab the cat) .I am not a cat person and now I understand that I should have stepped in and not allowed her to pet the cat. Just trying to ensure others take a more assertive role with their child so they don't have that type of experience

    What a lovely cozy spot. I am about a 20 minute drive from this spot and let me tell you it is worth the drive. I cannot wait to go back. I was in book heaven. This shop is very well organized but always keeps you looking for more.. I went in this bookstore just to look around as I do not need any more books, and I came out with four new books. Well done!

    Such a unique and fun book store. Cats and books? Yes please! A fresh coffee to sip while perusing? It’s a perfect combination. There’s something about snuggling cats and kittens while looking for titles that makes the heart feel cozy. Would definitely recommend.

    I visited this lovely little bookstore in May. Excellent selection of used books, friendly owner and meeting Seamus the cat was the icing on the cake! I only wished I lived in the area so I could visit more often. Please support local business 😊

    Great bookstore. Wonderful selection. Didn't get a chance to try the coffee, definitely will do on the next visit.

    A super cute and friendly place to browse books and have a coffee. I love the fettucini stir sticks! Thank you for the hospitality and fun and friendly space.

    Very inviting. Great place to wind down, relax and read a book, purchase that book and enjoy a coffee while doing so. The kitty was cute as well.
