I am not sure how to rate this place. My daughter and I love visiting local book stores. We drove all the way across town. It's a cute little store. But the staff... unprofessional and indifferent. They need a more motivated crew. Not going back, we'll stick to the one on 4th

Very cute store. Coffee was really good and I appreciated the staff picks and the comments. Found a new book that way that wasn't on my radar. I also was able to purchase a handmade coffee mug from a local artist that was perfect for my vacation mug collection. I was very excited. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely be a place I would hang with friends, if I was local

The fact that this is a destination coffee shop yet very nearly full to capacity on my visit speaks a great deal to its attractivenes. At 10:30 on a Friday morning the shop was packed with people who drove specifically to patronize the shop. There were groups of women with (quiet) preschool children in tow, there were individuals working on their laptops, small groups of two or three friends, and some people sipping their coffee while reading a book (of all things to do in a Bookstore/coffee shop.) At the time of my visit, 90% of the seats were occupied, but I did find a place to sit at the bar looking out the front windows. There was one table available in the outdoor patio, but this was Arizona in August and it was already 99° outside. I only sampled the drip coffee. It was a medium light roast, very flavorful and smooth, and reasonably priced. I did not to sample the assortment of pastries, but they certainly looked attractive. In the end, I decided this was a neighborhood coffee shop, despite the fact that no one can walk here from home and it is essentially a drive up destination. It seems like a great place to meet friends, or a reasonably quiet space to get some digital work done while enjoying a good coffee.

Add another book to the backlog stack. While creating my list of things I wanted to see and do around Oro Valley, I stumbled upon Stacks. It’s a combination bookstore and coffeehouse. What a perfect pairing, in my opinion. We just so happened to have an early dinner planned at Fork & Fire and I noticed Stacks was right around the corner, so I asked if we could stop there first before getting grub. Without hesitation, Emily’s parents said a-ok! This place reminded me of The Brewed Book in Davenport, IA. It’s first and foremost a bookstore but one that happens to serve coffee. There are tall bookshelves that run around the perimeter of the store with plenty of offerings and hidden gems to be found. Since we flew to Arizona, I wasn’t personally looking to grab a book to read on the way home since I already had one. My main goal was coffee and maybe some little trinkets and those are exactly what I got. I got my usual Americano since we were just about to put down some massive food while Emily got her usual latte. Said Americano was your standard Americano, so nothing to really note there. It was just what I needed. Emily said her latte (I forgot what type she got) was really good, too. The baristas were super nice and even hooked me up with a sticker they put on their cup when I asked for one. We sat inside for a few minutes to enjoy our drinks and soak up the atmosphere of Stacks. I gotta say, this is the kind of place I would come to for a coffee and a few chapters in a book. Along with my coffee, I did grab a t-shirt and a few stickers to help support the store.
