such a cute little place! it's hard to find a cafe book store that isn't barns and noble or books a million! This place dosent have many "popular" books but thats a good thing imo! This place has so much character that is charming! love it!

I love coming here. The books are highly discounted, so not the newest selection out.. but you can find a gem if you look hard enough. They also have tons of children’s books which make great gifts. I always get a coffee when I stop in & it’s always delicious! Super cute little place & worth a visit.

Rose cardamom latte was pretty good! Only downside was the bathroom was very dirty.

This is a multi roaster with excellent baristas who are not only great at brewing coffee but also extremely knowledgeable about the coffees they're serving. Highly recommend this shop to any coffee enthusiast.

A cozy little bookstore that has an amazing orange black sesame latte. If you’ve never tried this, you have to try, it tastes amazing. I love coming when I need to get some work done, they have a few tables and outlets.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! It combines two of my favorite things: coffee & books! I usually get the holiday drinks (egg nog latte, pumpkin praline latte, toasted marshmallow latte) and they've all been excellent !! The books are so insanely cheap too! 100% recommend this place !

Darling little book store with a huge selection!The enticing smell of coffee lingered in the air as we browsed. The coffee menu looked divine! We just got done with dinner so we didn't get anything. I will my next stop in. Just happen to stumble upon it. Check it out if you are in the area!

Downing Coffee

What an awesome place! Probably the best coffee I’ve ever had, and that is saying something! The barista was really friendly and knows her stuff. They use locally made very interesting syrups which are delicious. All of their specialty lattes are very unique and you should try them. We tried the sweet rice, vanilla latte, orange, black, sesame, latte, and honey lavender latte. All with regular milk and all iced. The first two were our favorites. We also liked the honey lavender, which we have had before, but it was our least favorite, still delicious, however.The bookstore was really cool too. I’m not sure where they get their books, they are new, but not new releases from what I can tell. If you buy one, it’s half off. If you buy two, they are each 60% off. If you buy three or more, they are all 70% off apiece. We got five new books for about 27 bucks. Thank you very much. We will be back next year when we are in the area.

Cute bookstore but the coffee was just awful. I got an iced latte and it tasted like there was something rotten. I then tried my friends cappuccino and it was almost just as bad. My stomach is aching. I would not recommend going there for drinks whatsoever. I’m not sure if it’s the coffee beans they use or if the milk was rotten but I do no recommend going. I’m not a picky person, I will drink anything, even if it tastes bad, but I genuinely could not take another sip of the latte. Take this as a sign not to order coffee from there.

Alright book store, great prices, and wide selection, but mostly obscure or classic books, not popular books. So if you're on a treasure hunt for a certain book, this might be a good place to check out!They offer beverages as well, but I didn't partake in any. The store overall looks good at first glance, but overall it is not very well organized and kinda confusing or misleading if you see the signs for the discounts that apply to all books, but only in one row. I posted a picture of the discounts if anyone is interested! Also, the associate working the day I went in seemed very uninterested in his job, so it wasn't very welcoming. Maybe he was just having a bad day? Overall, I'm glad I went, but probably won't be back again unless I'm looking for a rare book.

They sell overstock books, so the selection doesn’t change much, but you might find a cheap gem
