Bookmans Flagstaff Entertainment Exchange
1520 S Riordan Ranch St, Flagstaff, AZ
Crema's Take
“Bookmans is a sprawling used bookstore and entertainment exchange where the coffee shop takes a backseat to the real magic: getting happily lost among thousands of carefully curated books, vinyl records, board games, and unique finds while sipping something warm. The vibe here is wonderfully low-pressure and community-oriented—people come to linger, study, play chess, or just breathe in that particular smell of old paper and possibility. Fair warning: the café itself gets mixed reviews and the prices throughout can add up fast, but the experience of wandering these packed shelves with coffee in hand is exactly what keeps locals coming back.”

I like this place, been going here for a long time every now and then, but that cafe is just a complete scam. Overpriced, low quality for a cafe. I had to wait like 20 minutes for hot chocolate that didn't even have the decency to be palatable. It tasted like heated up chocolate milk you get at school. I still like Bookmans and will return, I write this in frustration. Don't buy the chocolate milk, it's a complete scam.
I lose track of time exploring all the shelves of books and music, love all the different games and puzzles available and all the other items available are amazing!!! Never disappointed, my kid is obsessed with the store as well. Absolutely love that they are dog friendly as long as your companion is well behaved and on leash. Staff is super friendly and helpful
This place is a great place to find books and media for great prices. it is also welcoming and a wonderful place to hang out for an afternoon to read, study, play chess, have meetings, or anything else you can think of! the staff is very welcoming to any and all. the coffe shop is amazing as well!
No matter how hard I try, I can't make it out of this place under $100..and that's with the 20% teachers discount. There book selection is massive, with lots of second hand books priced at $8 or less. Picked up a pile of new murder mystery books, and I'm in love with my new bag and mug. Cheers 📚 ☕️
HUGE store- even has a coffee shop! Great selection of used (and new) books 📚 very friendly staff and lots of unique items to choose from. I even bought a cute luggage tag when I remembered I needed one 🐼
