The cafe upstairs has some of the best coffee in town and showcases local artists! Fantastic tea options and great matcha as well. I would not recommend their chai, but everything else is very good with pastries fresh from Deluxe bakery. The book store also has a lot of great options!
Everything about Prairie Lights is perfect. Their cafe is incredibly cozy—with window seats, an array of tables, and aesthetically pleasing decor. Also! Their pain au chocolate is absolutely delicious. Their coffee is also quite good which is something you don’t always get from a cafe + bookstore.
Prairie lights hosts a variety of author readings and other literary events, shining light on renowned and upcoming authors!
