James SchindlerFebruary 17, 2018There are a few independent bookstores left in the country and this is one of my top choices. It’s nice and comfortable and everyone who works here is pretty cool. Café is Good and reasonably priced.

Two story wonderland with a perfect blend of new & used books, gifts, helpful staff & a snack/coffee bar. Great variety of Moleskine products & other journals, as well as greeting cards.

Margare FossFebruary 23, 2019Great bookstore that is located in historic building. I liked that they sell used books as well as new bestsellers.
Mark PobleteApril 19, 2013Wish I had time to explore more during my last visit! Fresh, locally-sourced grab-and-go sandwiches and snacks at the coffee bar make for a convenient lunch stop for offices in the area.
Candice RiveraOctober 11, 2017Really great bookstore, had a beer tasting and 'meet the author' going when I came. Comfy to hang out and tons to look at! Loved it!
I love this bookstore. The selection is great and it's not hard to find used books at a good price.
Eric TigreNovember 18, 2010Housed in a high-ceiling LoDo District warehouse, Tattered Cover offers a great selection of books, small press publications, magazines and gifts. Stop in for an espresso or attend a book reading. Read more

Jessica HurleyNovember 14, 2016Great bookstore and cafe. Lots of lounge space - especially in the magazine section.

Still the best shop ever. Spend an hour or two wandering. They have used books too.

Hotel TonightSeptember 28, 2011A Denver institution, this location is a block away from our partner hotel, the Oxford, and features two stories of books, antique furniture and a fireplace.
A Denver classic. Must try the cookies at the cafe, best $2 you'll ever spend

ColoradoJanuary 23, 2012This multilevel bookstore holds thousands of volumes, with a notable selection of Denver- and Colorado-centric books. Pick up a calendar of events to see which famous author is stopping in next.
Ingrid HartmanSeptember 15, 2015Nice bookstore with a ton of options but really difficult to find things and not enough people on hand to give directions
Think the chains or Amazon are easier? You can browse TC online and order from a great independent bookstore. Better yet, have them hold it at the store so you have an excuse to come down here.
Giang PhamDecember 20, 2016Good place to chill when you need to burn time. Find a spot and read your favorite book.
Max LatransOctober 18, 2013Great bookstore to wander around in for hours. Matt is an amazing person and so nice to his fans
Robyn KellyMarch 20, 2013Go here for the ambiance, not the prices. I have found much cheaper items at both locally-owned shops and Barnes & Noble.
If you still read books with pages, this is the place to go.
eric mortensenOctober 8, 2010Excellent, expansive indie bookstore that many will instantly identify as everything a bookstore should be. Plenty of room to relax and read.
FergsNovember 13, 2017Don’t go in!! You’ll be sucked into the Tattered Cover void. Hours upon hours of your life will disappear with absolute pleasure... seriously, I love this place.
You can't go wrong with the soups!! Great atmosphere. My favorite bookstore n Denver!
