This place was adorable. This was our first time in there. The whole vibe was awesome. I can’t wait to go back and sit in there on a snowy day with a latte. We had drinks and sandwiches, which were so good. I loved my vegetarian one. The cheese was delicious from the cheese lady. The spot was so nice. It reminded me of the movie sleepless in Seattle. They had cool puzzles too!

The vibes in here are so cozy. The record player is such an amazing touch. The service is friendly and helpful. I personally love the curated selection because I tend to get overwhelmed with options. And the sandwiches are unmatched. A must visit again and again!

Such a cute shop! They have a lot of stickers and popular books for all ages. The Italian sandwich was delicious. The oil/dressing on it was SO good. The latte definitely could have been sweeter and the cup was a little odd but eco friendly. I’ll definitely be back!

If you’re searching for a phenomenal bookstore, a slay sandwich, & great customer service then look no further! Traveled 1 hr just to come here. Sandwiches are a 12/10 (ask for the Elliott you’ll thank me later). You’ll never meet nicer people. They even have a blind date with a book wall! Can’t say enough about this place, will definitely be back!

Such a unique concept! Book store and sandwiches, plus pastries! I bought my great grandson a book and I bought pastries to bring home. I will be back for a sandwich!
