Green Bean Books

Green Bean books is a great locally owned, small bookstore for kids. Earl seems to know and has read every book in the store, and all they want to do is please the readers. The place is small and can get crowded, so we try not to linger too long. They love to give during Halloween by giving out gift bags with Halloween designs on them, and there is always a line. But the books are moderately priced and always a great selection. Easy to find one for a gift or for your own child

I discovered this gem in the heart of Portland. I went with my cousin, we’re both big book lovers. The staff is really helpful, even recommending books for us. They also offer activities like story readings and crafts, which is so fun. The book selection is quite varied, I’ll definitely be coming back again.

This little shop helped me to remember where my love of books started. Everything is whimsical and there are pockets of delight everywhere you look. Little diaramas hidden in the bookshelf, a funny vending machine for bushy eyebrows, one for little animals, one for tiny books, etc.nThis is the kind of place that will be a core memory for any child. No doubt as they grow, they will compare any future bookstore to the magic of this one.

Charm to spare in this small bookstore, with quirky little art here and there and lots of great children's books. Perfect little patio area for author readings. It makes my heart happy that there are still wonderful little bookstores thriving like this one.

Super cute store if very friendly owner. He has great books including from local authors and he also has cute little knock knacks
