Black Cat Books and Coffee

I visited the store with my dog to see books availability. so I decided to stay inside the store to read some books. I stayed there for about roughly 30 minutes inside. The worker inside the store came up to me while I was sitting and reading and told me that I should not stay in the book store all day. I was shocked that she told me that. Considering I bought some books several days prior and that I'm a customer that purchased food as well so I asked her when does she want me to leave she said whenever possible though she tried to tell me that usually she tells her customers that and her action is justified. Well I'm not stupid I'm almost 50 years old wasn't born yesterday this experience is discrimination and racial profiling. If I stay to closing time that would be all right and all public places I've been to bookstores in the cities across America and I was never treated this way. And told when to leave. I believe since I was Hispanic minority I didn't deserve the same privileges as the white customers in the shop. Also I was the only customer in the shop when she told me this by the way I'm not full-blooded Hispanic I'm also white that's why I have a German English last name. So question if I was a black man or white man with some type of status would she tell me to leave? That I don't deserve to stay all day I thought that was the idea to stay all day to find a interesting book I thought in our society Hispanics and Whites by now would get along boy was I wrong and I'm just a half-breed. I can't imagine if I was totally Brown and ethnic looking at a environment that is not fully inclusive. Everyone don't come to this business. Go to Barnes and Noble instead.

Great coffee, selection of books and the coolest vibe!

Charming, charming, charming. U wanted to buy all the books here. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the coffee options, but this place is a must!

Great coffee coupled with a great selection of unique and affordable books.

My husband and I went on a little weekend getaway trip down in TorC. We saw this little spot on our way in friday afternoon, and decided to stop in Saturday and Sunday morning for coffee, cocoa, and a little bit of book shopping. The staff was extremely friendly, and very kind.
They have an amazing selection of books in every genre, and the pricing is very affordable. For a cuppa cocoa and a drip coffee, it was less than a coffee at Starbucks. Definitely will be coming back next time we're in town!

Coffee smelled delicious, drew me in. Had my dog, she was welcome. Delicious coffee served with warmth and friend vibes. I'll be back. Thank you.

Great store, very friendly people, good selection

Beautiful book store with a vintage vibe.

Cute little shop. We enjoyed looking through the books, stickers, and post cards and bought one of each.

Great coffee, nice and welcoming space

Looks interesting from the outside. During the couple of weeks I was there, it was closed every time I went by, unfortunately. Some day I would like to actually enter and check it out...

This is such a cute coffee house! My husband and I came and got some dirty chais and enjoyed the ambiance :) It’s a very inviting atmosphere and was so relaxing! Will definitely be coming back next time we’re in town 😊

If you want a drink recommendation dirty chai with lavander and oat milk. 10/10

Great vibes

Warm and friendly environment. Lots of interesting events going on there. A brilliant selection of new and used books!
