About The Novel Tree Queen Anne

The Novel Tree's Queen Anne store is on Queen Anne Avenue North in Lower Queen Anne, directly across the street from Greenside and about 0.2 miles from Climate Pledge Arena, with the Space Needle and Seattle Center a short walk away. Reviews show the shop operated as Star Buds Queen Anne until 2026, when it reopened as The Novel Tree under new management; staff were still redecorating in September 2026.

The Novel Tree also runs stores in Bellevue and Bremerton. The Queen Anne shop is low-key and well stocked, with online ordering for pickup and a mobile app (reviewers note it is iPhone-only for now). It is a convenient stop before or after a Kraken game or a concert at the arena.

The store is medically endorsed and open from 8 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. every day, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot.
