  • 3/5 Wendy B. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 201 reviews
    It is a very cute shop with unique gifts off the beaten path. I was able to pick up a novel for my return trip. I loved the selection in the sci-fi and fantasy sections, much to choose from! I did not however appreciate all the clutter on the floors. I usually walk with a cane and chose to skip it today for this trip. I am glad I did, as I stepped on more than one thing. I also didn’t love the lack of seating. It made it difficult to choose between two books. I like to sit to A. Rest my disabled legs; and B. read the first two paces and decide which book to buy. The staff member I encountered seemed short and like he didn’t enjoy his job. The bathrooms are not clearly marked so I had to search for someone to find out where they were. This shop could be great if they fixed these issues.

    This place is absolutely beautiful!! The ambience is so peaceful. Great place to read, study, and get some coffee/tea. Only suggestion is to add heat lamps outside during the cold months. Other than that, this store is top notch!

    This place makes my soul happy. The staff are friendly. There is so much to see. Writers Block is cozy and welcoming. They have a cute bunny chillin ❀️ I could come here every day, if you’re looking for a local bookstore to support, this is the one. Wonderful selection of books, great soft music in the background, and a lil cafe with a seating area indoor and outdoor. There is Parking out in front and in the back.

    The Writer's Block is a hip cozy bookstore and coffee shop with a whacky theme of a bird sanctuary throughout in the downtown Arts District of Las Vegas. It's a long circuitous hallway that winds you through all of the various sections. I loved the space. It's got a great vibe and it's obviously popular with many people weaving their way through its independent areas. The coffee area at the front serves up delicious java creations. The establishment had a rewards and points system. I ordered books and signed up. Then went around to get coffee and found out my entire drink order was free. Love this space so much.

    This was a super cute bookstore! It was decorated with a lot of cute fake birds and was just small and quiet. There is also a coffee shop inside, and the dark chocolate latte I got was very good. So was the snickerdoodle cookie! Warm and fresh tasting. My only complaint here was just a little lack of selection. And there was a really cute rabbit in a cage but he seemed awfully....sad. His cage seemed way too small.

    It's an amazing coffee shop/bookshop. The atmosphere alone beats big-name book shops. It's much bigger than you'd expect, but very "hidden treasures" vibe you find in the back alley, basement book den of New York. The wonderful smells permeate the shop and help keep the atmosphere light. It's our 5 year anniversary treat, but this is going to be a much more frequent visit. I wonder if they are hiring πŸ€”.

    Hands down the most unique and fun bookstore I've been to! Love the bird theme and decor throughout, it was like a scavenger hunt! Lots of books of all genres, there's a good chance they'll have whatever you're looking for. The cafe is also very good, Chai tea and croissants are delightful! The book worm dioramas are hilarious!

    Quiet spot for coffee, snacks and other beverages. Chill music and many books to choose from. Plenty of windows means plenty of light for reading in a quiet laid back atmosphere

    I love this bookstore! There is a large selection of books, indoor/outdoor seating, quaint little finds like a rabbit, and delicious treats to eat! Plus, it's walking distance to a few other unique downtown eats. Definitely worth a visit.

    This was absolutely my favorite stop in Vegas. I encourage anyone looking for a small break from the chaos to rest and refresh in this bookshop/artificial bird sanctuary that is full of tiny wonderful details and surprises. While there, why not adopt a new friend? Each little bird has a name and personal "auto'bird'ography". Books, birds, and beverages. What more do you need?

    Awesome, unique book store complete with resident sleepy bunny. They have a wide range of topics for every interest, but basically a few bookshelves for each category. For example, sci fi has a couple bookcases, not a whole aisle like larger chains might have. They have a good mix of sci fi classics, current sci fi, mixed with other less mainstream authors. It is similar for other topics and categories. Great homey feel, easy to park (50 cents for 30 min) on the street right outside, will be coming back!

    Located in what is known as Las Vegas’s β€œArts District,” this cool bookstore/coffee shop is the epitome of cozy. It’s virtual bird sanctuary theme is woven into every nook and corner. The shelves are well organized and there is plenty of elbow room to browse. Aside from books there are other items available such as gift items, drawing tools, candles and more. Highly recommend. (Just make sure you lock yourself car…the surrounding area is a bit sketchy.)

    Amazing place! I was finally able to make it to The Writer’s Block and it definitely exceeded all my expectations. What a peaceful place with not just a very good book selection for all ages but also tons of interesting art and gifts! And very tasty muffins and coffee. It will become my to go place every time I am in Vegas. I highly recommend it!

    Do you read??? Do you love books?? Then GET YE TO THE WRITER'S BLOCK, ASAP! As someone who writes (um, writes a lot), I was intimidated by the name. "Writer's Block" is a term for when the ideas just aren't coming and the blank page (screen) stares back at you, mockingly. But this Writer's Block means a "building block" or a city block. This coffeeshop / bookstore is immensely creative and photogenic. It is an "artifical bird sanctuary" (for artificial birds!) They have 20,000 or so books here. Real books made with paper. Books you want to read, have read, want the whole world to read. The photos I took don't do this place justice. Come see for yourself. I had a matcha latte with oatmilk and lavender. Delicious [Have you been to The Strand in NYC? Similar vibe. Good people.] [Do you hear "birds" and think of Portlandia "Put A Bird On It"? I'm too shy to post the link here! Let's just say The Writer's Block is everything that Portlandia store wishes it was!!]

    Amazing place to look around and see what titles they got, while enjoying a nice smoothie from the Cafe. Great prices, friendly employees and a huge selection of books, so there is something for everyone! If you are not into books, they also got cool stuff to get. Ps: the rabbit they got is super adorable 😍

    Writer's Block is one of the best spots for coffee and culture downtown. The whole place feels curated. There is great coffee at the front of the store with friendly staff and talented baristas. There's usually a good atmosphere with an eclectic mix of people in the cafe area. The book store is also fantastic. Superbly organized with great staff recommendations. When you go, don't forget to say hi to Barron, the resident rabbit.

    Unique book store and coffee. The sections are themed and narrow as if you were actually in the bindings of a book. Seating is available in the cafe area with more outdoors.

    Browsing this bookstore is like stepping into your favorite book! Trees and woodland creatures surround shelves that are filled with a beautifully curated selection of books. There is a small cafe in front of the shop as well...I recommend getting a blueberry London fog tea and a French toast bagel!

    So happy to have a cute, eclectic little bookstore in our downtown. Writer's Block surrounds patrons with a whimsical decor as they browse through countless titles. While it's probably not the biggest bookstore in town, there are some unique titles and a special section for books about Nevada written by Nevadans which I appreciated. My only complaint would be that there wasn't any seating or cozy corners to sit in and preview a book before buying. Though I did not get to check it out,there is a nice little cafe where you could enjoy a cup of coffee while you read your newly purchased book.

    Such an awesome place! Came in with some coworkers and was in awe with the decorations! First thing you would see when you walk in is the coffeeshop and it is shaped like a bird cage! There's some tables inside and outside so you can relax, read, and enjoy your food/drink. I got myself a brownie, chocolate croissant and an iced coffee with milk and caramel syrup. Highly recommend the chocolate croissant! When you go around, you'll see a lot of variety of books! Some are unopen. There's a cute rabbit in the corner as well when you look around! It was sleeping when we were looking around. They also have some small variety items that you can buy as well. Highly recommend you visit here and purchase a book! You can also view their website and pick up 😊

    One of the most fun bookstores I have been to. Lots of new titles. Really neat layout with the greenery and street lights. I like to visit bookstores when I travel and I highly recommend this one

  • 5/5 Shelbi B. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 19 reviews
    The CUTEST book store I have ever been to with an amazing selection of books and gifts. Hanging from the ceilings are artificial birds for adoption, cuckoo clocks and decor of all kinds and colors. You feel as though you are Alice in Wonderland. Seriously so so so worth the stop!!

  • 5/5 Shannon R. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 15 reviews
    Such a magical place to grab your coffee or tea, a warm baked goodie and get lost in your next adventure! I wasn't sure about this place when we were driving past the sketchy part of Vegas last all the lights. I parked and saw people enjoying a book and coffee on the patio and others walking out with their book bags. I walked in and was transported into a magical book wonderland! Good luck walking out with just one book!

  • 5/5 Joel L. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 15 reviews New
    One of the highlights from our weekend visit to Vegas - the vibe is whimsical and eclectic, but very warm and welcoming at the same time. Enjoyed the coffee and matcha and found several new books as well!

  • 5/5 Miracle J. 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous bookstore and cafe! Super fun experience walking through the store, the displays we're all fun to see too, especially the worms under the bookshelves!

  • 5/5 Traci D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute, quaint book store. Wide variety of books and a sweet coffee shop. They even have a resident bunny 🐰 I absolutely will go back and would recommend.

  • 4/5 Natasha R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute and unique bookstore. Has a great selection of small items that would make great gifts. I wish it had more stationary items and places to sit while browsing. I was looking for a cookbook and would have loved the opportunity to look through a few. But, overall a nice spot.

  • 4/5 Heather N. 8 months ago on Google
    The bookstore and the whole vibe of the place is a 10/10, but the coffee shop is definitely under-invested. The chocolate croissant was tiny and didn't taste fresh. Coffee was in paper cups instead of mugs. For an incredibly sweet and cozy bookshop like this, I'd stay all day if the coffeehouse part was better. Maybe some comfy chairs or couches. It's primarily a bookshop, so no shade there because it is an incredibly adorable bookshop, but as a coffee shop, it is definitely lacking. I hate to say that, but there are far better places to grab a cup. It's definitely worth checking out, and it's decent tasting coffee, but they've got something special here and it could be so much better.

    This place is amazing,grown up and kids will enjoy it for sure. They have so many great books plus they have the best green smoothie must try.

    We were staying at the Golden Nugget when we discovered this Awesome little place. We needed a place to get away from the Fremont circus and do some intellectual reconnect. Our daughter looked up this quaint little book store and coffee shop. It was within walking distance so we decided to take a walk. Straight down Las Vegas Blvd and one block over at Chase bank. We went one day and then went back the next day to get a book I missed. We got a large hot latte that was great and sipped while we looked at the fabulous book titles. I found a book called Battle of the Big Top on the history of the circus. Not my usual read but it is a fun book to read by the pool and one the plane ride back to Florida. If you have kids and need a distraction for them while you browse there is an adorable bunny in the kids area.

    Eccentric, but wonderfully curated independent bookstore nestled somewhat at the tail end of the Strip. Houses a plethora of amazing reads and the staff members are so lovely and offered great recommendations. Great place to visit if you’re looking for something to do other than gamble in Vegas!
