This is such a cute space, pretty big inside and the book selection is great. As you can imagine they have a lot of playwright books. Several versions of Hamlet, guides to the great comet of 1812, incredible selection.

The coffee shop is great too, although folks said online they had a breakfast sandwich, this is not true anymore.

We came here on a Saturday morning around 10am and we were able to get a seat for three. I got a butte croissant, my child got a chocolate chip zucchini bread, and my partner got the savory cornmeal danish, it has sun dried tomatoes on top.

We also got two hot coffees, black, and they carry the Pink Lemonade from Marz. It was all good.

Books + Great coffee + Friendly people. Need I say more.

Great place to grab a bite and enjoy the ambience. Good coffee and tea, excellent pastries. Love the setting within the bookshop, and there is a lot of seating space!

I love this spot. Great coffee and food, amazing employees, fantastic book selection. If I could, I’d go here everyday!

Cute coffee and book shop. Will be back in a future trip. Great for a a date or just doing work. Chocolate morning bun was amazing. All the drinks are excellent.

The pastries are huge, I had the croissant, and it was delicious. I also liked thier matchas, it was flavorful without being too sweet.

The seating was plentiful. They have small, sturdy side tables which makes working on thier couch very comfortable. It's a nice spot for remote work but there are no outlets, so if you work here, make sure your laptop battery is full.

This is where I take out of towners for coffee when I want to impress them

Oh no, that matcha was bitter! Probably doesn’t help that they made it in 30 seconds

It’s the perfect environment to sit and read or chat. It’s a beautifully curated space and the drink offering is on point.

Cool spot for theater and coffee lovers, with a unique selection of scripts and theatrical literature and an aesthetically pleasing space. The coffee was good, though not extraordinary. I expected it to be better since it's a little pricey. The service was efficient, if not particularly warm or friendly. There were a few seating options, but all were taken due to how busy and packed it was. Personally, I wouldn't find it ideal for getting work done given the bustling environment.

SUCH great book selection. Only thing is that they specialize in plays, so probably half their inventory (give or take) is of that genre.

What a great coffee place. The book store just adds such a nice vibe to it. Went on a Sunday morning and it was super crowded. Tried the hot mocha and Chocolate croissant and they were great.
