Very cool bookshop with a unique, artsy, original vibe and fantastic coffee drinks that include house made syrups and locally sourced dairy ingredients. Loved the place and the bagels and especially the coffee. The owner served us and was very welcoming, friendly, and artsy. A win win!

Amazing place to grab some food, a delicious drink, snag a book off the shelves, and just relax for an afternoon. The owners are super nice and inviting, and the space is great to hang out by yourself or with some friends. They also just renovated the back area, which is HUGE, and can host private gatherings. There are also occasional live musicians, who are talented and add to the ambiance.

Not only is the atmosphere amazing and everything you’d want in a local coffee shop, they have small businesses stuff for sale there as well. There is a book for everyone, coffee and food is amazing I got a peppermint mocha iced latte which is the best coffee I’ve ever had and staff is so friendly. This is where I will be getting my coffee from now on.

Their cold brew is awesome. Rich, smooth, not bitter, not watered down, perfect extraction honestly. They're doing this brew right. Atmosphere is sweet and great to hang out. Service is friendly, filled with smiles, and 10/10. Would definitely recommend.

A cozy corner of whimsy filled with books, stickers, and houseplants. The comfy seats, friendly staff, and jazz floating through the air invokes relaxation immediately. I got an egg on a bagel, it was well made, warm, and delicious. The pistachio matcha was phenomenal, I’ve never had the pleasure of knowing a better matcha. Please take some time to stop in and rest a while, you’ll thank me later.

Delicious food in a warm, comfortable atmosphere...and when you're done eating you can shop. The pumpkin spice chai latte was a perfect autumnal drink.

This is a really fun place to hang out and eat quality snacks in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere with some awesomely curated books. They have a selection of new and used sci-fi and fantasy books, and new books from local authors among other literary categories as well. Cookies and other sweet things made on site by Thom- a gentlemen who can bake a cookie that is a culinary masterpiece. Also, they have Streetpotato123...

Fun, unique idea for a book store/coffee shop/cafe. The physical space is very inviting with plenty of areas to get cozy with a book. They source many ingredients and products from local farmers and vendors. They are very accommodating to requests. There are different snacks and goodies, plus more substantial food, such as soups and salads. On Fridays, they offer deals, such as 3 fiction books for $10, plus a drink special.
