James and Hannah were so awesome! This place has such a quaint and comfortable feel. Come grab the Cuban sandwich, some flan, and a book while you're at it. Highly recommend! They also do events like book clubs so definitely get plugged in to the community here!

Good local coffee shop and bookstore. Something you'd want to gatekeep, however, it's a place that needs to be shared—good food and really good, strong coffee.

This shop is a great addition to our little square! They have a lovely selection of books and ability to order more than what’s on hand. I also love that they host book clubs! I haven’t had the chance to join one yet, but I look forward to it in the future! You HAVE to try the Cuban Sandwich! Lezcano’s Cuban with the strawberry jam is AMAZING! I’ll be honest that I’m not the biggest fan of their drinks.. it’s a pretty limited selection of flavors.. but they do have bottled drinks available as well. The only reason I knocked my rating down a star is because of the music. It is frequently BLASTING right next to the tables and when I’m trying to read or do work, it makes it hard to concentrate. I had brought out-of-town family in to see the shop and enjoy some pastries a few days ago and we were limited to tables by the speaker…. We could barely carry a conversation over the volume. There is other seating away from the speakers around the restaurant, but it can get limited when busy. This did NOT affect my rating… but just something to know… The music selection is not consistent. Sometimes the music is just a general mix of family-appropriate tunes and other times it is strictly Christian. The owners are very open on their webpage about their Christian faith, but I guess I didn’t realize it would be considered a Christian establishment in itself. I’ve had to find alternative locations to host friends and social gatherings.
