Despite having a large amount of books, the books on offer still seem carefully curated. I saw a number of books there that I haven't seen in any other independent bookstore. The cashier ringing me up was also very sweet and helped me find a bag for a bakery box I was carrying around.

This was the first stop on a reading retreat weekend in North Chicago. They have the sweetest aroma of freshly printed books mixed with cafe drinks. There is a huge variety of books and are well stocked with new releases.

This place has the MOST amazing selection of books for all ages and all genres. They even have books in different languages. Not to mention the cafe inside is so cute and the staff is very knowledgeable. The street they are on has lots of cute shops in addition. I attached some cool finds!

Coffee - just no. It takes forever and it tasted burnt and awful. Left my mouth tasting sour literally. Vibe - music is chill enough very coffee house vibe, but don’t drink the coffee. Too many kids to enjoy the vibe though. Books - really more for kids and young adults. Nonfiction section was really lacking. I would have liked to see a LGBTQ section. It was either non existent or so small I blinked and missed it.
