A great bookstore and more! The staff is very helpful and welcoming. They have a great selection, theyve always had any book Ive been looking for. I also love the story time they have for young children on Sunday mornings. My kids and I love going to the Briar Patch!

I now understand why Ive heard people describe the Briar Patch as the heart of Bangor! A charming bookstore with a focus on childrens books and a strong selection of adult titles as well. The staff clearly loves not just their store, but their town, and always goes above and beyond for their community. Quick to supply to perfect recommendation no matter the need and supporting an engaging calendar of events throughout the year.

A great variety and friendly staff. Ordered a bunch of books for our kids a while back that they didn’t have in stock as they were older and they came even quicker than the estimated week. Always find something to bring home when we stop in just to look!

It is a cute bookstore with many choices. My son could spend hours in there! The staff is so knowledgeable and makes wonderful recommendations!

Adorable, friendly, and a total adventure! The owner has truly found his calling. A great selection of books familiar and unfamiliar, and the toys were the same! I couldve stayed in there for days.
