There isn't anything like Writer's Block where I live in California and it's a shame, because I love this place. The food is tasty, the coffee/tea lattes hit the spot, and the staff are all lovely. The only reason this isn't 5 stars for me is both times I've come into Writer's Block to read, and both times, despite sitting in a corner by myself with my book, I had another group or two of 2-3 who plopped down next to me and chatted the entire time. I ended up leaving earlier than I would have liked both times because I couldn't actually focus on my book. It'd be really nice if the "back section" was a quiet section for readers/studiers/people who just want some quiet, instead of folks who will come in with their laptops and hold meetings/converse with friends.

This place has a good, warm and cozy vibe with comfortable seats and Wi-Fi. There's no shortage of books, but the vibe seemed to attract people plugging in and chilling more than shopping/reading both times I visited. There's plenty food options to choose from (bfast and lunch/dinner), along with some creative cocktails and a coffee shop quality drink menu. My golden milk latte was decent -- unsweetened, but had a good amount of spice. I got here right at opening time one day and was told several food items weren't available without me having to wait 30+ minutes. The chile verde breakfast burrito I settled on was decent/satisfying. The salsa helped a little, but there wasn't much flavor to it. It's a good spot to relax and read, but the food/drinks left me a little underwhelmed.

Cool local spot with warm your soul eats and a nicely curated selection of books. Well labeled sections with a children’s area, Pride Month picks and local Alaskan Authors. The cafe was busy even on July 4th with a tempting drink menu of coffee and spirits as well as Hot Chocolate for the littles. We got the Beans and Rice Bowl with Reindeer Sausage (the sausage is ELITE!), Beet & Mint Salad, and the Taboule Salad. Everything was so fresh and served with huge smiles!!!

This is a really nice and cozy place to hangout with friends or families. Very spacious, got comfortable coach, nice decoration. However, I have to say, the taste of the drink was disappointing. We ordered one cappuccino and one holiday special chai roobio, both taste quite watery :(. there are parents bringing their kids there so could be a bit noise when kids were playing together.
