Books On Broadway

Lame old books that aren’t interesting at all. Need to update Everything! Get some new cool stuff. Very drab. Could use some updating on the atmosphere as well.
I did like the coffee here tho… had a white chocolate mocha with extra shots. I do like the fact that they can special order a book for you.
This place could be so much more tho! It pains me. I LOVE bookstores, but this one had nothing to grab my attention. They could remodel and get some nice big comfy chairs and wifi and magazines and some new books and liven up the place and this place would be hoppin!
Please! We need a good book store in town!!! U guys already have the coffee part covered!

Like so many other folks in Williston, I’m brand new in town. From the moment I walked in, it was like going back to a book shop I’ve always gone to. The staff was very helpful, the prices were extremely agreeable (in a place where «luxury» items are obscenely expensive), and there was no shortage of wonderful people to talk to! One man made guitars out of cigar boxes and stainers (straino-​caster), someone was giving music lessons quietly in the café, and plenty of people were happy to just shop around. A very wonderful place to buy books, and the best social environment in Williston I’ve found so far! Also, it’s the only place to buy guitar stings in this town, fyi. Definitely coming back!

Definitely my favorite place in Williston! I try to spend my free time here, awesome selection of books, by far the best coffee in town, and great service from some of the best people in town! If they don’t have what your looking for just ask, Chuck the owner or Nicole (second in command) are more than helpful. Great place to take the whole family, kids are welcomed and always have a great time…
… By the way did I mention the coffee?

This place is amazing! I have been here 5 or 6 times in the past two months. Chuck (the owner) has recommended two fantastic books and there is a great spot in the back for quick coffee dates/​meetings. FYI– THEY HAVE THE BEST HOT CHOCOLATE EVER! Apparently, it is Chuck’s grandmother’s recipe. Order it!
Have kiddos? There are toys all around the store and a fantastic children’s/tween area.

Seems like a good local bookstore with a solid selection of local and regional literature and history. Unfortunately, the rude and ignorant slob who was the only employee on a busy Saturday made the store basically worthless. When asked about titles and subjects she shrugged and whined that «the boss» was out of town. Asked about any books related to Theodore Roosevelt and the national park down the road named for him and his famous ranches there, she grunted and said «I don’t know.» Asked about a few other titles, she gave the same response. Finally I asked her to check the computer that she was looking at during the whole time she grunted her replies. She said the bookstore did not have anything computerized. I was ready to drop $ 100 there, because I was there studying the area. Instead, I bought a single $ 12 paperback so I’d have something to read on the plane home. A real disappointment and a shame, as this town has a Walmart and little else.

I was told to visit Books on Broadway for a good cup of coffee and a step away from the misery that is the oil boom in North Dakota. Books on Broadway is a classic independent bookstore with a respectable selection, in addition to a friendly and hospitable staff. On the long winter days, I couldn’t think of a better place to pass the time in their café!
Also, they have THE BEST cup of coffee in Williston. I believe it is the Allegro brand which is carried by Whole Foods.
