Such a cool little place. They have a huge selection of books and the atmosphere is super cozy. We went around Halloween and they really leaned into the spooky vibe.
The coffee is delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff is very fun and extremely good at their jobs.
Excellent place to hang out and read.

Absolutely love this place! My twin sister introduced me to it after discovering it a while back, and I’m so glad she did. This was actually my first time trying REAL matcha, and it tasted incredible! Now, this shop has become my go-to spot for long study days, great vibes, and delicious drinks. The staff are always so friendly, and the space is clean and welcoming. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!
Absolutely love this place. It's so cozy and welcoming. They have such an extensive selection and fun random gifts as well. Highly recommend checking this place out.
