Yelp.com Review - by Kim P.

3.0 of 5 stars. I stop in at Jo-Beth's when I'm home visiting my family. In terms of independent bookstores, it's good: lots of local flavor, knowledgable sales staff, overall friendly. My biggest gripe with this...

Joseph Beth's cafe by penny a. at InsiderPages

This is a great place to catch a bite to eat while browsing through the wonderful books. The lunch menu is a bit limited. But the Sunday brunch is excellent.

Trendy, but with fewer books. by Chris C. at InsiderPages

I used to love Joseph Beth and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. And it can be depending on what you're looking for. If it's gifts and signings and a cool place to hang out then it's still...

Yelp.com Review - by Shelly V.

5.0 of 5 stars. Giving this store less than 5 stars would be like telling an old friend 'thanks for always being there for me but I don't need you anymore'. This store helped me through graduate school. How you ask?...

Could be better by Carla B. at InsiderPages

This bookstore used to be a five star plus and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else, but they just don't have the books they used to have. Bring back the books! I can get gifts anywhere! I'll come back more...

More of a boutique than a book store by Kimberly B. at InsiderPages

Don't know what happened. Joseph Beth used to be the place to buy books. Now it's mostly perfumes and purses. Very disappointing. You can still find some books, but it's not nearly what it used to be.

Yelp.com Review - by Jim G.

5.0 of 5 stars. It's too bad that Joseph-Beth hasn't stepped in to fill the gap left in Louisville by the assimilation of Hawley-Cooke (into Borg-er's).

Yelp.com Review - by Adam A.

4.0 of 5 stars. It is indeed a small, regional chain -- nothing compared to the "bookstores" (those vapid, hypercommercialized monstrosities you see at the mall or in a huge shopping center) that dominate the US now....

Great variety in a nice setting

My friends and I had lunch at the cafe. The menu is really varied, with gourmet sandwiches, salads and entrees. There is a full coffee menu and a ton of dessert options. If you can't decide on dessert, you can...

Yelp.com Review - by Natalia M.

4.0 of 5 stars. i would have given JB's five stars, but they are just not as awesome as they were 10 years ago. They are still head and shoulders better than B&N or Borders, but it's sad to see they're just not what...
