Really great! Very nice atmosphere-- nice layout, clean, good music, pleasant spaces for relaxing and socializing, good selection of gifts and art from local artisans, wide range of books, good food and drinks. The staff were amazing... welcoming, helpful, friendly, accommodating to meet our needs. Also, the location is easily accessible by foot in a nice downtown location. It was easy to park and there were 2 parks close by to enjoy awesome coffee and tea drinks al fresco, if desired. Or sit in the cozy lounge area by the fire and work on a puzzle collectively, or strum on a guitar and share a song. The selection of gifts and books is of good variety... you can find something for anyone you are looking for. Highly recommend this place to others looking for a change from the chain shops. Support your local businesses.

I found a good cup of coffee with a tasty raspberry skone. You will enjoy a start of the morning taking in this quaint little park-cafe. You can walk inside to the next store and purchase a book for reading away your afternoon!

We held my sisters bridal shower here and highly recommend! My sister is a book worm and and has been drinking coffee since middle school so it was an obvious choice for us. Jen was prompt with her communications and made us feel welcome in the space- an all around lovely person. We were able to hire one of the baristas to make drinks for the 20 people we had there and they were wonderful to have in the space as well. The guests loved ordering drinks at the counter, we kept a tab and paid at the end of the event. We were able to purchase sparkling wine and set up a mimosa station for guests to serve themselves. We ordered some cookies and charcuterie plates from the shop and I was thrilled with how well they had curated them. When ordering charcuterie without knowing what is on them I get nervous I might be greeted with cubed cheese (not to dis anyone who enjoyes some cubed cheese) but these dishes looked and tasted amazing. They went above and beyond to help us get this party together. I would recommend them for any small events, bridal showers, farewell coffee and cookies the day after a wedding, maybe a gal-entines day event! Thank you Classic Elements!

Nice little coffee shop/wine bar in the heart of Johnstown. It's combined with a bookstore and gift shop. The coffee drinks were a bit on the sweet side, but I love the concept and would visit again.

My go to gift and bookstore. Such thought filled inventory. The team is there if you need them but do not hover as you browse. Perfect little slice of respite to shop and enjoy.
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
