Really cute independent bookstore + cafe combo! They had a good selection of books, a surprising amount of seat space for the cafe, and really good coffee drinks.

Nice place

Jacqueline Castillo

Two of my favorite things in one! Coffee and books. The coffee is delicious with many flavors and a great selection of books. It’s perfectly organized and over all the best vibe

Friendly customer service, good place to sit with your book. If they don't have what you're looking for they will order it and hold for about a week.

Very good bookstore thank you!

Disappointed in the cafe. Closed early for no apparent reason other than the pissed off barista looked like he'd had enough. Coffee was pretty tasty though.

Ashley Lovell

Woman working at the desk 3/13/24 had a terrible attitude! :(

I went in just to browse and came out, $145 later, with humor and puzzle books for myself, the perfect gift for my husband for Father's Day, and a couple of books for my 20-something daughters for their birthdays. I know I'll be back!

This review is for cafe only wish to review on its own. The cafe is not great. Coffee is bad. pastry stale. staff is great which is why 3 stars plus bookstore is adorable

Nice and quiet place to unwind read and study. I usually come inside before my shift and read a book before it's time for me to clock in. And the staff members are plenty helpful.

Lol they won't let you return a brand new book that you have a receipt for

Liv Basche

One of my favorite bookstores. They also have a cafe with amazing pastries. Cookies and bookies!

The bookstore is pretty and there is place for you to sit usually (there’s a sign that says only 45 minutes).I didn’t enjoy my coffee and the barista wasn’t having a good day. I would recommend for a quick meeting but not if you want to feel cozy.

Unpleasant experience. I ordered a banana danish and the banana slices were black. I asked for it warmed and it was cold. Also, I was with a friend and we were near the books and talking. Worker came up to us and snapped at us to "not stand around and talk, people are browsing." We weren't bothering anyone and we would've moved if someone wanted to look at the books behind us.They also have a sign that says not to bring unpaid merchandise into the Cafe area, so you can't even sit and read. Don't waste your time, go to Barnes and Noble or some other bookstore. At least there, you can read and talk without being scolded.
