Reading in Public

Cozy library vibes + a coffee shop? Sign me up! We were fortunate enough to stay in an Airbnb just one block away from this gem of a place. It was so good, we went twice in one weekend! I tried an amazing iced coffee with peach… life changing. They have a great selection of books and the friendliest staff. If I’m ever back in the area, I will definitely visit again!

I absolutely adore this place, and everything this place stands for! The inclusivity and creativity the store brings and encourages, makes it feel more like a second home than a bookstore. A wonderful place to trade and buy books, and get a wonderful coffee and/or sweet treat at the same time. Thank you for always making me feel welcome when I stop in! ❤️

Staff were great and helped me with the menu (my first time there, and I don't often go to cafés), and the book selection was modest but interesting! Overall a super cute place!

The book selection was interesting but kinda gave off the vibe that whoever stocked the shelf wanted me to drink the kool aid as they say. Being radical is cool, but so are other genres in the book world. There were places to sit, but it wasn't really a sit and read atmosphere as the name suggests. The shop's name draws you in, the bank of employees watching you peruse the books like folks tending a yard sale will send you out. It's a neat experience if you like odd stories in life.
