I love this book store. It may be small, but there’s always something new to find in there and I visit multiple times a month. I can’t go to Fernandina without at least stopping in to visit here. I have only gone upstairs to check out that selection once and probably an underutilizing it. I once wanted a book but there was some small damage to the spine so I asked if they had another copy in the back. They didn’t, but they discounted the cost because it was damaged so that’s worthy of a positive review in my book because they take the time to care for customers. All this with a quality bookmark every time you buy to boot. Do yourself a favor and buy a book or two from here.
Love visiting the Loft! It was my first time in a two story book store. The ladies there were very attentive and shared some of the history of the town and island.
This place is so awesome, it’s so nice to be in a bookstore that I can walk around in and actually pick up books and look at them. Great selection too.
I LOVE this store!!! I come every time I am in town.It has the absolute best atmosphere and location, gives you mom and pop vibes mixed with beachy! I love history books and they have the neatest history section about Amelia island, Cucumberland, and even American beach!!A must on your vacation!
Love this bookstore. Such a cute place with a good selection and a great kids section. The employees are very friendly and always helpful. There is a used book section as well and a selection of local interest books. Great bookstore!
Very friendly staff, good selection of local books (even a great children’s book I bought for my daughter about the area), wonderful part of downtown.
Very nice book store. Small but great selections for all ages. We purchased several books for our grandsons.
I Absolutely love this quaint little shop! Dont let the size fool ya,its pack with the latest greatest us the classics!🤩
Wonderful store, friendly staff. We visit every time we’re on the island!
Great little local bookstore. They had the book I was looking for and a decent amount of books on the area as well.
Great little bookstore. Good selection of classics and contemporary. Quaint little atmosphere. Shop small!
I loved this book store and the lovely man behind the counter.
The least friendly staff I’ve ever encountered ☹️
Wonderful staff! Great selection and always ready to help. A very special place we visit every time we go back to Amelia.
They are awesome!! We come every time we are in town. They have so many titles.****And they will do curbside pickup orders during this social distancing time!!!
Excellent choices, always a great place to find a book, both for entertainment and learning.
A cute little bookshop tucked away on a picturesque street in old Amelia Island. Downstairs you will find a good selection of current novels along with books by local authors along with books on the area; check their Facebook to see when authors are in for book signings. They also have a used book section located upstairs where you can find an older novel at a great price as well as a few first editions & older volumes. Tucked away in the back of the first floor is a charming childrens section complete with a little train table to help keep kids amused as you browse. There is also a well stocked section for young adults & a section complete with the classics in case you should want to revisit old friends as you relax on the nearby beach or as you are listening to one of the musicians playing on the street outside. The ladies who are there when I have visited are very friendly & knowledgeable about the area. Now that I have discovered it, I always make it a point to drop in to have a look around.
I have come here twice when on vacation at Amelia Island, and I have had an amazing experience both times. The book selection is amazing and well organized and the people there when I have come to shop were nice and pointed out their recommendations to me. I hope I get the chance to come back next year for new books.
Quiet bookshop on Fernandinas Centre Street where you can find childrens books, local history and lore, and a little spot to sit and peruse your options. Also, offers other items, we found a beautiful Jane Austen themed journal for our daughter.
Friendly staff and very knowledgeable.Landmark Bookstore.
I have never purchased anything at this store but have been here many times. The people here are very talented and the overall feel of the place is charming. It is a neat little book store with a lot of friendly people working there.
Great local bookstore.
I love the charm of this bookstore but the workers can be unfriendly sometimes. Today I went and the lady ringing up my books never said a word to me, if I hadnt asked her a question there would have been no words spoken between us. I like that the store has a nice collection on local history & also local authors. The books are well organized, which makes browsing more enjoyable. I go for the quaint, quiet, non corporate, local charm not the warm & fuzzy social interactions. I needed a specific book today & since the library was closed, Book Loft saved the day.
Friendly and talented staff who know their stuff. This is the quintessential charming local small-town bookstore. Lots of books of local interest.
Found some great local books and even a new book I had been wanting to get! A great selection to look at and bright and cheery building!
This is a decent book store. They seem to have both new & used books, and a lot of variety (including a large selection of kids books), but theres not a lot of organization, so eclectic to hunt for what you want. And the store was crowded when we went, which emphasized the narrow walkways. Overall Id say its worth a stop for a minute, or if you know what youre looking for.
The book loft has a wide selection of local history books, books for children and adults. For s small store it carries a wide variety of books. No periodicals.
A great place to snuggle up with a book and get the best reads too. Very hospitable to fledgling authors (myself included) and always a lot of activity going on. Last year was their 25th anniversary. Kudos for someone who can stand up to Amazon’s bullying. Will return here again and again. It’s good to have a physical store where books can be stacked and pages turned. May you continue onward. Thanks for all you do to keep us all reading. Kids too.
Lovely bookstore with helpful staff...it is very organized and had exactly what I needed. I would definitely recommend supporting this independent bookstore.
Love the loft style and generous sitting areas. A relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff make it an enjoyable experience for all.
Very pleasant atmosphere and very helpful gentleman at the counter. Great selection. We live in Jax but love Fernandina Beach. Well be back to The Book Loft again.
Pretty good but they believe Bill O’reilly is a history book author rather than what he really is: historical fiction.
Wonderful local bookstore. They have artists regularly come.and sign their books. The staff is.very helpful and will order something if they dont carry it.
Lovely bookshop. Excellent collection of pirate and coastal literature.
Nice selection.
Im a fan of mom-and-pop bookstores, a dying breed in the day of online ordering and big box stores. This shop has a really impressive assortment of books with sections for every type of reader. From Young Adult to Fiction, Cookbooks to Mystery, theres something for everyone. They even sell puzzles to keep you occupied on a rainy day. #AmeliaIsland #Bookworm
Knowledgeable, friendly,helpful. Inspiring environment. Well stocked:)
Older building with 2 floors liked with bookshelves. Small book selection but the workers there are friendly and helpful
This place is great! The prices are good but the store and workers are fantastic.
Special place in the heart of our town. Lovely owners and wonderful local selections.
Small store but decent selection. Nice people.
Had a mixup here with pricing that almost cost my friend double the cost of her book. It seemed a couple customers complained that same day of mispriced items. We did, overall, enjoy our time spent upstairs, perusing some of the Amelia Island history books here. We managed to find some prestigious families in books here and locate their tombstone in St. Peters Cemetery! Books are definitely Barnes and Noble pricing here, though. (Dont think Mom and Pop.)
Such a fun little book store. It is quite and has a nice selection of books, new and old.
Love this store! Great selection of books and wonderful friendly staff
An old fashion small book store with charm!
Fill the upstairs! The interior is amazing, selection is great. Warm and cozy interior
Overall a nice bookstore dealing with a majority of new books although theres a fairly well sized used section. Kinda pricey but not too bad.
Fits right in the downtown decor. Pretty good collection of books.
Outstanding book store in the historic district boasting best sellers and unique, collectable collections for sale. Friendly proprietors on hand to answer any questions.
Great store! Great childrens section and impressive section on Florida issues and history.
Amazing for buying books and puzzles come here plz
Cozy and quiet atmosphere and friendly staff.Huge selection of books for most genres, only issue are the prices of the books. Most books can be found online for cheaper.
Great selection, friendly helpful staff
Beautiful little store with a lovely, cozy atmosphere.
Decent selection for a small store...Had a large number of customers, so maybe the demise of independent bookstores is slowing. Definitely worth a visit.
