Story Bookstore is an excellent place to read, relax, and explore. The collection is impressive, ranging from books to perfumes, deodorants, stationery, and many unique items. It’s a calm and beautifully organized space, perfect for anyone who loves spending time in a quiet environment. The top floor working area is especially nice, though it is available only with a membership, which feels a little expensive. Apart from that, everything else is perfect. A wonderful place for book lovers and people who enjoy peaceful surroundings.
The employees working in the bookstore are very ill-mannered. When we visited all 4-5 of them were gathered around the billing counter and gossiping about cricket matches in Bengali in top of their lungs. One should maintain the ambience of a bookstore/library properly. Other than that, it is a good place to visit/explore.
Probably the most aesthetic and beautiful bookstore I've ever seen. Their entire setup is highly detailed genre wise. Loved the calm environment and ambience here. A must visit for all bookworms out there..!!!
