Watermark Books & Cafe

What a great bookstore!! Staff were super knowledgeable and very helpful. You can tell everyone in there truly loves their job. The selection was impeccable and it features lots of local authors, local content, and other fun goodies besides just books! I could have spent all day inside this store.

While out of town I stopped to check out the bookshop and I was so happy I did. It was charming, the coffee was great, and the store was a gem. The thoughtfulness of the currated items that accompany each section shows the love and interest of the staff. The hand written book reviews are very helpful and one of my favorite things when choosing books. I was lucky as an author was there to promote her book, and I was able to listen to other authors and readers Q&A while I browsed. Looks like they have frequent events.

Being here made me so happy! This is one of the best independent bookstores I’ve ever been to. The selection here is broad and diverse, there are a lot of up-to-date new releases, local gems, and I was also able to find books that I really haven’t anywhere else! The staff was super helpful and friendly; I got to talk to Shane who gave me some great book recs. The bookstore does a lot of events and author visits so definitely visit their calendar and social media to stay updated. The coffee shop is excellent and the baristas are very nice! I got an iced Othello latte and iced regular latte and both were delicious. The environment is great for browsing books and gifts, and also sitting and working. If I lived in Wichita, this would for sure be my go-to spot! I hope to be back again when I make my typical drive up!

If you are looking for an amazing independent book store in Wichita, look no further. The staff is friendly and well-read. Great selection of books and love how they promote non- mainstream authors. It was great to see so many people there during their annual New Year's Day celebration! Don't miss this gem!
