About Shakespeare & Co

Shakespeare & Co. is a charming independent bookstore and cafe combo. The cafe offers a variety of coffee drinks and a cozy atmosphere with a surprising amount of seating, many with outlets for laptops. The bookstore features a well-organized selection of books, though the range of subjects is somewhat small. It is a favorite spot for many, with a nicely laid-out space and a welcoming environment. The staff are friendly and respectful, allowing customers to browse comfortably before offering assistance if needed. The coffee, including a large drip with milk for $3.50, is generally delicious and reasonably priced. Unlike some chain cafes, this place has plenty of natural light and a relaxed vibe, with people reading, working on laptops, or chatting with friends. Whether browsing books or enjoying a cup of coffee, Shakespeare & Co. remains a delightful place to spend an afternoon.
