A friend of mine wanted to go here to get coffee and while we were waiting, she told me there was a bookstore on the second floor and so we went, and I absolutely love the set up of this whole place from the coffee shop all the way upstairs to the bookstore!! the staff were very friendly, and I felt very comfortable being there.

Walked in on a cute kids book reading session with a dog!
Seems like a great place with a welcoming environment for the most part. It is super cute inside. However, be aware that you can’t browse books with a drink from another place in your hands or you will be asked to leave the store. While I was asked kindly, I did find this to be a bit strange. I understand why they wouldn’t want people bringing drinks into their store when they sell beverages, but by telling me to leave, they lost the business I was planning on giving their books. I had been searching through the books for a good read when I was called out in front of everyone for having a drink with me. Once again, I was asked kindly and I understand why the rule is in place to ensure they sell their own beverages, but it is important to note that it prevented me from buying books and helping their business. Would I come back? Yes. It’s very cute inside and a great business. Am I annoyed by being called out in front of everyone while I was trying to support their book sales? Yes… A simple “for the future, we ask you don’t bring drinks in” would have been more beneficial as I would have been able to stay and they would have gotten money out of me buying a book or two. Their decision to make, not mine, but just constructive criticism. I do recommend supporting their place, but I hope they consider that not everyone is going to buy a book AND a beverage, and letting someone shop for books to support them with a different drink is still going to get them more business than telling them to leave. Think of it this way: You wouldn’t kick out a customer who purchased a drink for reading a book they bought elsewhere, so it doesn’t make sense to kick out a customer who’s shopping for books for having a drink from somewhere else. Just my opinion, but I think it would make more sense to only remove people who are soliciting and don’t have the intention of purchasing anything than someone who is trying to be a paying customer supporting local businesses.Overall, the space is generally very inclusive and welcoming, so I am grateful that it is a safe space for many people. :)

New to the area and stopped in while moving my mom into an assisted living facility. Such a cute little store! So much character!

Great service and cozy atmosphere. The drinks are tasty and unique. But pricy though, wouldn't recommend going everyday. $8-$10 per drink.

First time stopping in to check it out, and my first thought was how cute it was! I liked how quite it was upstairs in the bookstore, it had a small selection but would definitely come back again

The girls here are amazing! They are always so helpful with answering my questions about orders and they just go above and beyond constantly, and always have such grace.
