Known For

Exposed-brick shelves and cozy reading corners in a proper bookshop

The Bookworm is everything a bookshop should be — exposed brick, cozy nooks, a charming storefront, and shelves that seem to have exactly what you didn't know you were looking for. Downtown Highlands is lucky to have it.

Our Take

A cozy nook bookshop with exposed brick and a vintage interior in a mountain town is the kind of discovery that makes a weekend trip feel complete. The small review count keeps it from ranking higher, but 4.7 stars suggest that everyone who finds it leaves glad they did.
