Kindred Stories

This bookstore is AMAZING. I went last summer while I was in Houston visiting a friend and enjoying browsing their great selection. The staff are super welcoming and helpful. When I go to Houston again, I'm definitely going back!

Amazing bookstore. They have renovated and the new location is a total vibe. They have space for you to sit and lounge if you would like as well as a wide variety of books and merchandise

I came back to this bookstore after two years and it’s so beautiful to see the growth this bookstore has gone through. Such love and care from the owners and workers in what they’re doing for the community from events to books to the free library, you will definitely appreciate this gem in Houston please come check out their store and support when you can. I love the various selections on Black authors and that they have other Black owned products like puzzles, gift wrap, gift cards, candles, Croc accessories and so much more. There’s something for everyone here 😉💗 🐑♥️Jesus loves you and He is proud of who you choose to be sugar 💜✝️

During a recent visit to Houston to see family, they took me to a truly remarkable bookstore. It's Black-owned and filled with an incredible selection of books by Black authors — simply amazing. Even before I learned more about the store’s mission, I was immediately struck by the welcoming, peaceful atmosphere. The space was clear, warm, and inviting. The staff were kind, engaged, and hard at work organizing inventory, while mellow music set the perfect tone. The scent in the air was comforting, and fellow customers wandered, browsed, and read quietly — it was genuinely a vibe. I could’ve easily stayed for hours. We took our time exploring, had great conversations, and marveled at the variety of thoughtful, beautiful items available. Thank you for blessing the community with such an inspiring and well-curated space. What a gem!

I’ve enjoyed my visits at Kindred. Friendly and attentive staff and great selection of books.

My son & I saw the doors open which is rare so we decided to pop in and we were looking to purchase a book but was told because we weren’t there for book club we had to leave! Like seriously who kicks a kid and their mom out who are trying to support not kind not considerate and down right mean!!! This is not the experience I wanted my son or any kid to have at a bookstore!

Loved visiting this gem the other day! Such a great selection of books, and I loved finding a store that features black authors. The store is very stylish and the staff were so welcoming. I had a great experience and I’ll be back again!
