I collect cookbooks like people collect coins (or whatever it is cool people collect these days). Like I literally cannot resist buying a good cookbook or book about food when I see one, and I'll read them from cover to cover just for kicks.
The Book Larder is like a gift from above for me. A one stop shop for all your cookbook needs? Count me in!
The store is a bit smaller than I imagined -- there is only one medium-sized room. However, the selection of books is great, and there are even a lot of autographed books on sale as well. Their prices are on the pricier side, but I'm willing to pay a bit more to support this unique shop. One thing I wish they had was a little nook or something where you could sit and chill with a book.
Additionally, they have a membership program, where you get $20 if you spend $200. Another cool thing they do are events were you can meet the chefs/authors of a particular cookbook. I'd recommend signing up for their mailing list if you're interested in this sort of thing!

Very good service and advice on which book would be a good wedding gift. Great selection! I got to sit down at the counter and look through them. Very relaxed and accommodating.

Great selection of books to help inspire your inner cook/baker.

The selection is nice, but there is a woman who works there with red curly hair that makes me never want to shop here again. From the moment I entered the store, she started following me everywhere I went. This is absolutely ridiculous considering the store is tiny and you can see anything and everything from one spot. Every time I looked up from shopping, she was either next to me or staring at me. I can only assume she was watching me to make sure I wasn't stealing even though I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. There were plenty of other people in the store that she could have been stalking, but she chose me. I was the only person of color in the store, so maybe that is what prompted her to watch me like a hawk. What a shame. I love to support small businesses with my HONEST hard-earned money, but I refuse to be stalked like I'm doing something wrong when all I really want is to shop just like everybody else.
To be fair, the girl behind the cash register was nice and welcoming. I have been to this store a handful of times before, so I know not everyone who works here behaves this way.

A quaint little store, filled to the brim with wonderful books! I could have spent the whole day in there.
