Very cool spot with good sandwiches. Ambiance is lovely and service is great. Mahi Mahi sandwich was superb, quesadilla with bacon and cheese was also really good. Burrata Salad with grilled peaches was just ok. Plenty of seats inside and outside.

Love this bookstore. I’ll make the drive just to come here. You can tell what their ethics are by the books that they sell. They are welcoming, inclusive, and friendly. They have a cafe but mostly sell lunch-ish food, not so much for dinner (salads, sandwiches). I wish they did! They have beer and wine and also have indoor and outdoor seating. Overall it’s just so nice. They have live music on certain days. The parking situation is kind of a pain but that’s how it is in the Gables. Def come for a cute date night or if you want to come alone to enjoy a good book 🤗📚🤎

Super chill spot to read, listen to jazzy music, or to just hang out in a quiet, classy spot. Obviously there are a ton of books, but there is also a lovely café to order food, coffee, and other sweets. And the bar is open in the evenings, along with some live music on the weekends. A great vibe every time.

Amazing spot. Very laid-back and chill vibes. Place was amazing. Felt like a old school book shop. There’s even a restaurant and Cafe or you can order drinks while you check out your book or magazine in the patio. I spent about an hour here today. If you’re into books, I highly recommend this place. Prices are affordable as well. Nothing is inflated. The workers were also very helpful. I would definitely be coming back soon.

Like pretty much everyone who reviewed Books & Books, I found it quite charming as well. They have a couple rooms of books so not the largest selection, but really tall stacks and organized very well. Aesthetically pleasing store for sure. In the opening room with the cash register, most of the books’ covers are shown which makes it much easier to find what you may like. Sure, you can’t judge a book by its cover but sometimes that’s how you shop! They also have a cafe and, I think, a bar! Or they did this particular night. And those were super packed. So I guess those are good reasons to check out your local book store to ‘’read’’.
