First rate neighborhood independent bookstore. Having spent 5+ decades haunting these sorts of shops, it’s a fine mix on genres, soft goods (gifts, writing supplies) and a cafe with way above coffee. My kids are grown now, but the kids section is fantastic, and gives me hope for the next generation of readers. The staff is a lively blend of friendly, knowledgeable, and service focused. They also host a fine array of events (author readings, book clubs, classes).
Extremely cute book store, with wide selection from all genres. Very well laid out, with cards from the staff describing some popular picks, and showcasing staffers favorites. The employee working was very nice, and gave my husband a free cup of coffee, as she was closing everything down around 7pm. I ended up picking out a book by a local author, and was surprised to find it was a signed copy!
I’ve been visiting this shop for over a year now. The book selection and cafe are both great but what’s really special about this place is the way it uplifts the community through its events. It’s so nice to have a local business that fosters community relationships and supports local artists. I highly recommend checking out the event calendar and attending one of the events. Also, the owner, Dana, and her staff could not be nicer!
So cozy and owner is SO SWEET! And she’s such a huge knowledge hub for books! A great atmosphere with good coffee and sweets. Absolutely visit and buy a book! Support local and support authors ♥️ oh and they sell warhammer if you’re into that (I sent my husband a photo and all he noticed behind me was the warhammer so that’s why I’m pointing this out LOL)
