"A Seat at the Table Books is honestly one of the most heartwarming community spaces I have found. From the moment you walk in you can feel the care that goes into everything here. The mocha is great, the staff are warm and attentive, and the whole place invites you to slow down and stay a while. The shop doubles as a large, well curated bookstore with shelves full of local and independent titles alongside great picks from wider presses. Local artists get real support here. There are rotating displays and lots of original work for sale, so every visit feels a little different and you can always find something unique. Families are welcome. There is a cute play area for kids that makes it easy for parents to relax while little ones play nearby. The space feels intentionally inclusive, and it is proudly LGBT owned, which adds to the sense of community and belonging. People from all walks of life gather here and everyone seems welcome. What sets this place apart is how much community resource is offered for free. They regularly have free vegetables from a local farm and free plants available, which is such a generous touch. Those efforts show that this is more than a business, it is a community hub that actually gives back. There are frequent community events, author talks, and pop ups, so check their calendar. If you care about supporting local, meeting friendly people, finding original art and books, and enjoying a thoughtfully made mocha, this is a must visit. It feels like a living room for the neighborhood, and I always leave feeling better than when I came in."

"I really appreciate the inclusivity of this space and the intentional choices that make it feel welcoming to POC, queer folks, and people with progressive values. There are plenty of comfortable seating options, whether you are meeting a friend or settling in to get some work done. I also loved the thoughtfully curated book selection and how the commitment to inclusivity extends to the literature as well. The small details stood out too. Free resources in the bathrooms and the tree wrapped pole were meaningful and memorable touches that added to the overall vibe. That said, my biggest disappointment was the customer service. The cashier came off rude, which unfortunately took away from the otherwise welcoming atmosphere. I also found the food to be overpriced for what it was. I was not expecting gourmet food, but the croissant sandwich was $12 and felt like it was made with bulk, Costco style ingredients that were simply whipped together, which did not justify the price. The breakfast bagel was similar, a basic bagel with guacamole, mixed greens, and sausage that also did not feel worth the cost. I do not mind food being made with Costco ingredients, but at the very least it should taste good. I was eyeing this place as a regular spot to go to, but due to the customer service and the food, I'm not sure I'll be coming back."

"Cute little book store we happened upon when my family was visiting from the east coast. They serve coffee and specialty drinks. Great selection of books and gift items. I found the cutest little tote from the theme The Very Hungry Caterpillar which reminded me of my daughters child hood days and snatched it right away. Have not found this anywhere else. If you are looking for something unique and just want to hang out, grab a coffee you should absolutely visit this place. We had a great time and the noise did not bother us. The staff is friendly and helpful."

"I love this bookstore and its excellent coffee shop. I can come to sample the books before I bring them home with a cup of coffee and a sandwich. The store is not very big—it's just the perfect size to fit many good books in there. The coffee shop inside the bookstore is excellent. I like the breakfast sandwich the most. I have always enjoyed visiting A Seat at the Table Books. I think you will, too!"

"They have a small manga section. The books are obviously far better than anyone you can pick up randomly at a grocery store. Their variety is plentiful, but limited to what they can place on shelves. They will order books for you, which I WILL RECOMMEND. Majority of actual bookstores have deals and savings you cannot get elsewhere. They have a section for writers in the area who have been published. They had a group playing DND, which I loved. Not going to lie, I was eavesdropping and it was fun to listen to how players always want to argue with a GM when it's a homebrew game. They did have what looked like a sort of class going on too. Looked how how to use a media program for beginners? It was already running when I walked in. I didn't get to try their little cafe as it closed at I think 4 pm? So right before I had gotten there. They are LGBTQ+ friendly and I loved that they offered a safe place for human beings to be humans. I didn't buy anything there but their prices are common with what's asked for at other places. I did like some of their book ends, almost bought them but didn't have place in my car (traveling). The kid section as books and even some for toddlers. They have 2 doors to enter from, and both are wheelchair friendly for access. Tables not sure (not in a wheelchair chair to confirm the height) but they did look like they were. Parking was easy, but it does fill up, so you may have a 30 second walk. I did brag about the place to my friend in the area and he knew about it and now has a reason to actually check it out. I do recommend this place as it is quiet and has good vibes. For kids under 6 I'm not sure I would recommend only because there isn't a toddler/younger kid area to distract them. Yes to books, just not for parents to talk and read while kids be kids who are little and might cry or have a fuss like mine who is 2."
