Charlie's Queer Books
About this venue
Fremont's unapologetically pink queer bookstore fills every genre with LGBTQ+ lives, from picture books and graphic novels to romance, history and poetry. An upstairs reading nook, clubs and craft nights make the compact shop feel like the sober queer third place its founder set out to build.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
What you’ll find
LGBTQ+ fiction, nonfiction, romance, history, poetry, graphic novels, young-adult and children's books, plus zines, stickers, apparel, tote bags, craft kits and jewellery. Book clubs, author talks and workshops keep the selection in motion.
Best time to browse
Weekday opening hours suit relaxed browsing and the upstairs nook. Consult the events feed for clubs and workshops; these deepen the third-place atmosphere but can fill the intimate rooms, so arrive early when a particular programme matters.
Online store & international shipping
The operator runs a web shop alongside the Fremont store, useful for browsing queer categories and gifts before arrival. Current shipping regions, cost and speed are resolved at checkout; contact staff when you need local pickup on a tight schedule.
Payment methods
Online payment choices appear at secure checkout, while the physical shop controls register options. Confirm a required wallet or overseas card directly. Event tickets or workshop materials can have their own purchase path separate from ordinary books.
Privacy & inclusion
Trans-owned and explicitly created as a queer third place outside the bar scene. The shop welcomes readers across ages and identities; its upstairs nook may affect mobility, so contact the team for exact step-free browsing and event arrangements.
