Green Bean Books — Local services in Portland

My husband and I loved this book shop! It's so cute and filled with great children's books. If you're looking for a place to grab some books for your kids, I'd definitely recommend green bean books. The shop is on the smaller side, but like I said, it's packed with tons of books. We spent so much time in here looking for books for our kids and they loved what we got. They have a great variety and the prices are great as well! I believe they have activities for kids, some you might need to sign up for in advanced. The owner was super friendly. Overall I loved this store and we'll definitely be back and I would definitely recommend checking this...

The most magical bookstore (maybe retail store) in all the land. The owner is a former grade school teacher and a tireless advocate for quality books for all young people, and the staff (shout-out to Earl!) knows every children’s and middle grade book ever written. Need a book about dinosaurs, princess wands, and libraries for a child in your life? GBB will show you five terrific options. Pre-pandemic, their community events rocked Alberta with alpacas, rockstar authors/illustrators, and cozy places for all to curl up and read. Truly one of the Northwest’s greatest treasures. And they can special order any book in print!...

My 8 year old was so excited to go in here. Its a cute little independent book store with lots of great kids stuff. He went straight up to the "librarian" and asked her if they had any of his favorite books. They did have a Geronimo Stilton book and he sank into a chair in the corner to start reading it. We also found some good books for geography and other subjects for schooling. They also have some fun little trinkets and the facial hair disguise dispenser is a hilarious little add on.

Stop in, you won't be...
