Extremely loud inside. The coffee and food was really bad. Didn’t even want to finish it or pay for it. The chocolate chip cookie was ok. The whipped cream was yellow and old on the pie.

Had a wonderful time sitting indoors. Good wine selection and the cheese and meat platter was enough for three of us. Of course we shopped the shelves and discussed books. I'm definitely going back

Great place for gourmet food in a nice out door cafe environment. The vegetarian dishes are tasty and interesting. Wednesday night has a great live band and it’s fun to look at the books after eating

☕🥪🧊🎶When attending the launch party for Davies’ new novel, the café truly delivered—from the warm pre-reception to the well-catered and smoothly run afterparty. The staff was attentive, the spread was great, and the price point was fair and filling. My only feedback? It would be great to have fountain sodas—a few of us were definitely craving those Coke Zero refills to keep the pages turning. Also worth noting: they host live music, which is a nice touch, though it can get a bit loud depending on where you’re seated.

While the food and coffee were just okay, the ambiance completely makes up for it. It’s such a great, peaceful spot to relax or get some work done, with a cozy, bookish charm that’s hard to beat.

Whether you’re looking for a place to read, bring your laptop, or just unwind, this spot nails the vibe.
