Annie Bloom's Books

Here is one of the steadfast local bookstores that has held strong for 30+ years. It’s a local fave, especially for Multnomah Village. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. They pack the space with new releases, children’s books, cards and everything you’d want from a bookstore. If they don’t have it in stock, they will gladly order it for you. They also offer free gift wrapping. What’s there not to like about this place? They’re also avid contributor’s to community events.

Easily our favorite bookshop in Portland. It is well curated, somehow always has what we are looking for, but it still cozy and fun to shop around in. Great selection of current books, literature, kids books and activities and great stationary selection. They offer wrapping and always have fun patterned paper, and stocks local chocolates. We stop by almost every week.

Wow, I'm so amazed that there is a bookstore of this quality that is perfect for finding a huge selection of children's books, and is open until 9:00 p.m. on many nights. This is a rare book shop indeed! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They offer complimentary gift wrapping, which was no small thing for me in that I purchased 8 books (for a 1-year old, mind you) and asked to have each one gift wrapped. My "tip" for this service was to purchase another 25 dollars worth of goods for myself. Without a question, the highlight of my visit was the small black cat that wanders into the store on its own--it is the store cat, very disarming, friendly, cute, wish I could take him home. There is no question that I will be back here. They have books for all ages, but it appears that their specialty is books for children and youth.

Great selection and always the most helpful and friendly staff. My kids love finding new books at Annie Blooms and when we go to restaurants in the area they often ask to go early so they can "just check".

Can’t wait to return! What an amazing book store. The service was excellent and there was such charm there. Great selection of books too! Was there for a book reading which is awesome they do there for local authors like Dian Greenwood.

This adorable little bookstore is tiny but feels incredibly cozy and inviting. They have a fantastic kids’ section alongside an amazing adult collection, so there’s truly something for everyone. I always love checking out their staff picks—they never disappoint and introduce me to some great reads. What really stands out is how welcoming and safe the space feels. They make it clear that all people and bodies are embraced here, which is so refreshing. Plus, they have the cutest bookmarks and stickers to add a little extra charm. One of my favorite touches is that they’ll beautifully wrap any book you buy as a gift—it’s such a wonderful service. Honestly, it feels like a bookstore straight out of Gilmore Girls—warm, charming, and full of heart. It’s absolutely amazing and definitely worth a visit!

Lovely local bookstore. Their recommendations have been very good. They keep on top of what's new, and have an excellent stock for such a small store.
