My little book club met here for drinks around 5pm in a Thursday and it was so lovely. We each ordered custom drinks from their menu and they were all wonderful! It was pretty dead in there, which was sad. But the service was top notch, the ambiance was fantastic and the drinks were perfect. The bartender told us a little about the history of the building and about their trivia night, which sounds fun. Would love to come back!

I often read at bars but this is the first bar I have visited tailored for readers! I love it. The chairs are super comfortable and they have yummy snacks and mocktails.

It was my first time using a reading room. The place was good but the lighting was too dark. I had strawberry soda, it was okay. The servers were helpful and kind. But I wish there was more lighting and more food options or atleast coffee.

This was a 10/10! We had the best time here! Our tea was fantastic and the atmosphere was amazing. The couches were so comfortable and had great space for snuggling down with a book! You should definitely check it out!!

My friend Dave and I popped in here after getting lunch at our usual spot Block 16. I was glad that they had coffee, and it was Hardy Coffee Co. The atmosphere is an absolute vibe and the service was great. It's not quite a coffee shop, not quite a book store, not quite a lounge, not quite a library. It's a very unique place and I'm sure to be back.

I finally got the opportunity to visit and I couldn’t be happier! I curled up with a book and was able to fully immerse myself. The atmosphere was perfect, the drinks and snacks were absolutely scrumptious, and I felt so comfortable the entire time. I’m so grateful for this place—thank you for creating such a wonderful space to unwind and enjoy!

Stopped by to kill some time before I headed to the airport and loved it! This is a great “third space” for locals and visitors alike.

I enjoyed my olive plate and the strawberry mocktail I got.

The two employees I interacted with were very friendly and welcoming.

I brought my own book but they had books available to borrow or buy if you didn’t bring one.

This is a wonderful, comfy, little place to hang out and chat with a couple of friends, or go by yourself and relax with a book. They have books you can purchase, or bring your own. There are a few snacky food items available, and a good variety of drinks. The owner is warm and friendly, and checked up on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely go back!
