Always Here Bookstore
Shops · Portland, OR
About
Always Here Bookstore is open Wednesday through Sunday, typically from noon to 6 or 7pm, making it an easy stop on a relaxed day out. It's a queer and trans worker-owned shop, also BIPOC-owned, with a casual, family-friendly vibe. The wide selection of LGBTQ+ stories spans all ages, and the knowledgeable staff are known for going above and beyond to help you find the perfect book and maybe a few more. It's a local favorite that feels like a community hub.
The store's hours are confirmed on Yelp, with later openings on Fridays and Saturdays at 11am. The crowd is mixed and all-ages, so expect a welcoming space for everyone. If you're exploring Portland's book scene, you might also check out Powell's City of Books nearby, though Always Here offers a more intimate, curated experience.
