This bookstore is exceptionally phenomenal. The atmosphere was exquisite. With a two-story location that's small, it uses the space to capture a cozy vibe. As a disabled individual who has to use an accessibility tool, I didn't find it challenging to move from one point to another using a cane. The books they deemed "used" were of excellent quality compared to other vendors such as Thriftbooks and Amazon. The customer service was superb in that the level of care they show books—their knowledge of the location's footprint by author by memory. The book selection was also varied in topics, carried multiple copies, and had a variety of new and old.

Super convenient. They pulled books from the Roosevelt location and will hold the for up to 1 week for you. They had just what I need plus extra so it's always worth browsing.

Best used/new book store in town. It truly is an adventure when you visit. Never know what you'll find, but whatever it is you know it's what you needed. Go and explore.

Best bookstore ever. Sells both new and used books. There are many treasures among the shelves. Prices are fair and you can turn in books for store credit and buy different ones when you choose. Don't miss the quirky sign around the store that will make you smile. Great staff.

Good bookstore that has an abundance of both new and used books. You could spend hours going through both the downstairs and upstairs. Staff were all friendly and obviously care about the store. Reasonable prices. You can get store credit for turning in books.

No better place to meet great minds of the city all filling their heads the the latest and greatest as well as those hard to find classics. Don't forget to fuel up on their delicious made to order breakfast items. Personal favorites include the lavender latte and chocolate meringue cookie. Mmmmmmmm

AMAZING. There are so many book options here; I found almost all the obscure titles/authors I was looking for. There are so many sections that you don’t normally see a lot of books for such as Indigenous Studies, southern history, and black/African history not to mention books in and about almost any country or region you can think of. This is THE bookstore in Jax. Also, it’s 2 floors and there is a cafe with delicious vegan grits! Try the sexy grits for something special.

“I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library.” This place is one of a kind. Books everywhere and on every subject and well organized too! New books, old books, rare books, comics, graphic novels, cds and DVDs and more. I could get lost here (and did). The espresso is also strong and there’s great unique flavors like elderflower you can add to your drinks. We also tried a peanut butter cookie sandwich that was fresh and amazing. I look forward to returning.

Wow what a great bookstore. Not as big or as many books as the other location but seems to have a beer stock of newer books. Love this place.

Amazing location, amazing staff, amazing selection! The barista was incredibly friendly and lead me to the bathroom so I could dry off when I came in from the rain. Both drinks I got from the cafe were perfect! The clerk up front was also super helpful and knowledgeable— thank you for the recommendation to try the other Chamblin’s location! You guys rock!

My gf and I stumbled across Chamblin's Uptown while waiting for the nearby museum to open. Wow. What a beautiful bookstore, the modern world badly needs more gems like Chamblin's: multiple levels with rare, weird and used books, CDs, manga, games, art and more! The prices are really fair and yes they will work with you if you are bundling together a lot of items. I spent 2 hrs and barely scratched the surface. They also sell coffee and snacks in front. I haven't been to the other location but I hear its even larger, so I imagine it is also lovely.

This place was an all around good experience. My coffee was delicious, and the selection of book and music offerings took me back to a simpler time. I will absolutely be back!
