Nestled in Houston’s lively East End neighborhood, Mossrose Bookshop is the city’s first bookstore dedicated solely to romance novels. Started by Andrea Sifuentes, a passionate Houston local, Mossrose began as a popular pop-up bookstore before finding its permanent location in the charming Iron Works business district.
What sets Mossrose apart is its carefully selected collection of romance books, which includes diverse authors, independent publications, and novels in Spanish. This makes the store a welcoming space for everyone, particularly readers looking for stories they can personally connect with.
Right now, Mossrose Bookshop opens mainly on weekends, creating a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. Visitors are encouraged to take their time browsing, enjoying the simple pleasure of flipping through pages and discovering their next favorite read. Looking forward, the store plans to offer more regular hours and community-focused events, aiming to become a lively spot for romance literature lovers across Houston.
