Commonplace Books

This bookstore ticks all the boxes for amazing local cozy bookstore (believe me, we have been to many across the country.) The selection is very well curated. I was able to find two books that were on my list of must buys. I loved the fridge that had a stash of mystery books to choose from! I can't wait to come back and hopefully be able to sit and read at the coffee shop next door. My favorite way to spend a lazy afternoon!

I really like the food here as well as the selection of books. Coffee / matcha is top shelf.

The bookstore is intimate and inviting, with music to set the mood for casual browsing. I felt drawn in from the outside and compelled to stay once inside. The books are displayed in a way to spark intrigue, and I especially liked the sitting area, tempted to settle in and read what I had just purchased (although selecting only a few was no easy task). Definitely worth the visit.

Just an awesome store. Love book stores and this is a favorite. The atmosphere is great and their selection is good.

Commonplace is a community treasure. It's more than bookstore, it's a community gathering space. Hence the tag line "a common love for books and people." I think of it as the best place to come across a title that I didn't know I wanted to read next. They have curated some of the most popular tiles of the moment, but by & large they stock books that feed my mind, body & soul and challenge us to live at our fullest potential. Come hangout anytime. It's a great spot to pop in on a date and explore titles together, or hangout here in between meetings in Midtown. It's also a hit with out-of-town guests. They offer a great kids book selection. Every Saturday morning at 10:30 they have a story time for kids who they lovingly refer to as "Littles," which I just adore.They have a fantastic cook book selection. Their titles are organized by subject titles like "naturalist," "achiever," "intentionalist," "intellectual," "historian," "activist," etcetera. If you are looking for a book they don't have, most of the time they can order and get it for you pretty quickly- a lot of times in just a day or later that week. They often have book sales with books on a cart sitting outside for up to 30% off. Good deals can be found on that cart, let me tell ya. The bookstore is connected to the Kitchen at Commonplace which serves breakfast & lunch and they open most days of the week at 8am. Final thought: Their signature candle, Unhurried Wonder, is one of my favorite candles. It makes a great gift for just about anyone, especially your out-of-town guest(s) who found themselves swooning over their experience with Commonplace and are bummed they don't have a Commonplace of their own at home. --------Cheers, Team Commonplace! Thanks for such a welcoming-for-all gathering space in this great city of ours. See you soon!June 2019

I was sooooooo happy to come here. Obviously, coffee is a must. So I was excited to have an expertly made americano. The staff was friendly and they got me my order pretty quick. The space is well appointed and comfortable. Then... I saw the pancake. I would go back and eat ten if I could. It was delicious. Rich and buttery, this thing was perfect. Highly recommend. Don't forget to shop for books too. It's well laid out. They have a great selection and the staff is so friendly and offers plenty of recommendations.

Don't know how you couldn't love it here. Great selection, friendly staff, amazing atmosphere. One of my favorite bookstore in OKC!

I have had really good experiences here! The bookstore part of the store is really peaceful and there's a variety of books available. The staff (and dog!) are very friendly. As far as drinks go, the house hibiscus tea is flavorful without being too sweet. The only complaint I have is that the chai latte is very milky and could use more chai flavor.

this review needs 85 characters. i love it. it's cute. it has books. books are good. i went there after a waffle. yum.

Unimpressed. This is a bookstore with barely concealed religious leanings/bias. They have tables filled with religious books with a tiny fiction section (ironically selling Stephen King among the Christian books, which I found funny). One of the employees explained that if I saw more religious books it's because the owners are religious. Suddenly, it all made sense. This person was not only dismissive, rude, and unprofessional, but obnoxious in their approach to any kind of customer service. Not a good experience. Not recommended. Go to Full Circle Bookstore instead. Bigger selection, far nicer people.
