Great small book store. They always stock local school book lists including summer reading. Support small business owners and it's a great alternative to the large chain stores. Read a book!
Cat K.October 7, 2013So much fun original stuff in here! Books, jewelry, tea, lotions, candles, cards, bird houses, puzzles, coffee, food, kids area, book signings, and soooo much more! Love this place, visit frequently!
Adriana BacchiaAugust 5, 2014I can't recommend this book store enough. Idyllic in every way, with great selection of children's books, educational toys and cafe for reading.
Nate SSeptember 17, 2017Great selection of books (and gifts) and a must stop if you're on Main St. Support a local bookshop!
50+ years in Port Washington, now in a new location. Wide selection of books for almost any taste, especially great for kids. If they don't have what you want, they will order it for you.
Bernard PollackMarch 31, 2010First came Borders and B&N megastores, now Kindle's and IPads, and the saddest casualty of these changes is the slow death of the independent bookstore. Dolphin is a gem, and deserves our support.

"Shop carefully, as the prices can be higher than at other stores. I do love the self-scanner that lets you ring up and pack your order as you go, then pay at the register. In and out in just minutes."
