Powell’s Bookstore in Portland, Oregon is a must see for all book lovers!
My husband had a client in Oregon for his dreadlock business so we decided to make a weekend out of it and headed into Portland before making our way there. We had lunch at an amazing little restaurant called Laughing Planet with some of the yummiest homemade guacamole you have tasted. Afterwards, we grabbed a coffee at Sterling Coffee Roasters and headed over to the bookstore.
Walking into Powell’s was a little overwhelming at first but honestly, my inner Belle was in book heaven! In my mind I was twirling around the aisles like she is in the meadow, having to contain myself so I don't run into one of the many people who were also there taking it all in. There are four floors and a total of 10 individual rooms filled with aisle after aisle of books. I have been into some big bookstores before but this one definitely jumped to the number one spot. My hubby and I spent a couple of hours there, browsing through the aisles; having to definitely control ourselves and not load up our basket too much.
On the first floor there is a little cafe with a variety of seating for the guests as well. We had no idea there was a cafe or we probably would have grabbed our refreshments there, definitely going to check it out next time!! Honestly, neither of us did much research on the place, we heard four story book store and that was that; say no more and sign me up!!
It was a beautiful day and one for the books for sure (pun intended😉😂). I am excited to take my girls there and be able to spend a little more time truly getting to look at everything they have. If you are a book lover, you should definitely add it to your bucket list if you haven’t already!!
Stay lifted readers🌻✌️📖
