Great selection of books, gift items, Christmas ornaments, along with sweat shirts and Moravian wear. The book selection is amazing and worth a stroll through.

We only visited the bookshop/gift shop, not the restaurant side. Book shop was lovely, not a huge selection, but definitely a good selection of current titles, something for everyone. Helpful staff, very neat - also had a good selection of local interest/history books. A whole section of Moravian College gear, and some kids gifts and Christmas ornaments as well (the ornaments I thought were a little overpriced.) Overall a lovely shop!

This is a great bookstore. There’s a lot of genres represented, with a selection that’s heavily contemporary. I went at Christmas time and they had a fairly large Christmas decoration section as well. One section of the store is dedicated to Moravian University merchandise and school supplies.

The oldest bookstore in the US Moravian Book Shop, is not just for amazing books of all genres, but also has a great selection of university sweatshirts, Tees and more, including beautiful little Christmas ornaments and decorations. Enjoy a walk on Main Ave and explore the array of shops, antique stores and restaurants.

This bookshop is such a delightful addition to downtown Bethlehem! Their selection of books is vast, both for children and adults. I love the toys and interactive items in the children’s section to help keep them occupied while I shopped! It was also fun to browse their staff picks and curated displays.

I think this is a very nice book shop for Main Street. This book shop has three sections. One section is for the Moravian College stuff, shirts, banners, and such. The other section us a children’s section in the middle with a variety of children’s stories along with puzzles and boards games for sale. The last section is young adult and adult. They have every book from Jane Eyre, all the way through modern books. They even sell vinyl records, calendars, and other small gifts. I love the way they decorate their windows at Christmas time.

The Moravian Book Shop in Bethlehem, PA, is a treasure trove of history, inspiration, and charm, blending its legacy as the oldest continuously operating bookstore in America with a modern celebration of learning. Its walls are adorned with thought-provoking quotes, such as John Amos Comenius’s wisdom on surpassing teachers through curiosity, memory, and teaching. Visitors can explore shelves filled with diverse books while reflecting on the importance of nurturing young minds, as beautifully captured in its decor. A visit here, especially for readers and thinkers, is an opportunity to immerse yourself in both literature and the enduring spirit of education.

What a fun experience! They've got a Christmas ornament for every hobby, theme and taste. I didn't see any books, lol :) just lots of people marveling at the funny, beautiful and creative holiday decor they sell.
