I’m so thrilled I found this hidden gem!!! We came for coffee but stayed two hours because of the atmosphere and vibe! They had a great selection of very reasonable books. The Espresso drinks were fabulous!
As an aspiring bookstore-cafe owner, I always look for unique bookstores to visit when I travel. I absolutely love the look and vibe of the Hidden Chapter! The rich, dark colors, the art, furniture, the whole feel of the space! I love that everything ties into one main theme - from books to decor! The ambient music, the fireplaces, the seating… i really loved the authentic, old world aesthetic. it made my book loving heart truly happy and has definitely inspired me! I shall return!
What a beautiful place! We were welcomed by the owner. He walked out little boy through his "Narnia" entrance toy he little cafe he has built right by the bookstore. He was so kind, shared a bit of his story with us and showed us around. The decor is so elegant, all the details were beautiful, I tried taking photos but they did not do any justice! If you are a Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, or Narnia fan, you'll love it in there! No screens, people playing games, friendly staff and a great scape from the digital world! They had about every boardgame I have played! The games were grouped by age! They have a cozy corner for the kiddos with their own books. The cafe had great drink and treat options! I don't know how I randomly found this place but I'm so glad we got to drop by during our last family adventure in Cinci.
Found a new favorite book store, located in Ft.Thomas. The owners were super nice and very approachable. If you're looking for a place where you can grab a lavender honey latte and read Pride and Prejudice next to a cozy faux fireplace, this is it! They even have velvet curtains you can pull between the tables to increase the cozy feel. A walk-thru wardrobe is fun for anyone who's ever read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Love love love and will definitely return!
I adore this unique and quaint little bookstore! I already was drawn in by the name while traveling through. I walked in and was immediately greeted by the owner and he directed me to the different genre locations within. He was very personable and immediately told me the book I had in my hand was one he had recently read and highly recommended (The Devils by Joe Abercrombie). I bought a delicious coffee from the very friendly and helpful barista. She also got a sturdy, handy box for the many books I found--some hard to find first editions! I highly recommend this lovely, locally owned bookstore for new and old books 📚🖤
