Love this place! Very friendly space. I have been looking for a specific flavor of tea from my hometown and found something very similar here! I ordered a Jasmine tea with the house orange syrup and a bit of simple syrup. Very tasty, fragrant, and delightful. Feels like a warm hug Great service!

Parking: There’s a restaurant next door and on Sunday when we went the parking lot was packed. It didn’t take too long for a spot to open up though.

They have a great selection of new books here! There are some great used books sold as well! The cafe and bar have good selections if you like coffee or got chocolate, and the pastries are delicious! There is plenty of seating. Definitely a place to buy/bring a book and read for hours!

Great vibe here and the staff is fun and friendly. I do think the hours should be later though, as there are many times where I want to go get dinner and then hang out with some coffee or wine and read my book.
If you are looking for a nice,relaxing and chill vibe this is it! I recently went for my anniversary with my wife and we really enjoyed it. The atmosphere of the bookstore is really pleasant. If you wanted to grab a drink or some coffee or munch on something the bar is there. The bartenders were really nice and served us pretty well. The charcuterie board presentation was really elegant and delicious especially pairing it with an IPA! This place is a really good idea for a chill date night. Especially if you are not looking for a loud and rowdy environment.
Dietary restrictions: They have Gluten free options!

Highly recommend!
The bookstore was cool and the concept is great, but we were let down by the food and service. We ordered 2 pretzels and a prickly pear tea. The tea had no prickly pear flavor, it looked like they just used plain green tea. One of the pretzels was good but the other was completely bland with no salt or mustard on the side. When I mentioned it to the staff I was told I had to request that. I didn't really appreciate the attitude and thought it was strange I had to request it specifically as it was listed on the menu.Then when we were getting ready to leave we brought a few of our dishes to the bin, and another staff member asked if we were leaving and if other customers could use it. We said yes but needed a minute to finish cleaning up. Before we could even finish she was asking about the stuff still at the table and bringing the customers over to sit down, they started moving our belongings and she just seemed very impatient.

Have a good time with Ybarra, which offers beer, wine, and other pastries and snacks
Came here after another location for our book club was a bust. Arrived shortly after they opened and was very impressed by the size of the store as well as the dining area behind the bar. Our pastries and coffees were delicious and we had such a fun time that we're making this a regular spot for our club meetings. Such a good atmosphere!

Spent most of our day here, excellent book selections, fantastic staff, and the cheese tray was outstanding. Truly one of the best bookstores I have ever visited.

What a special find! Bring a book (or buy a book) then grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) with a small bite to eat (vegetarian and vegan options)!

I love changing hands and the first draft bar. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon or a day working remotely
