What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Adorable combination coffee shop and book store just down a street from the main road. Wide variety of new and used books. On a weekend, it can be a bit hard to find a seat in the lounge upstairs, but usually if you ask nicely someone by themselves is happy to let you sit at the other chair. So glad to see this place thriving."
"I am in love with this place! It is the best of my two favorite things….books and coffee. If there was a place like this back home, I would be there every day. There was a wide variety of drink and food options. And the books, such a great selection for such a small place. The cozy seating and little extra novelty items for purchase added to an already relaxing atmosphere."
"We came in here for some coffee and books and the staff was very friendly and they had a great selection of lattes and other drinks. We found some books we were looking for so all in all a great time."
"Incredibly special place. Full of great books and such a unique vibe, every cozy nook is like a new treasure revealed, with something amusing and thoughtful to read and look at. Staff is friendly and helpful, book selection small but high quality. There's toys, t-shirts, many misc items besides books and a great little coffee and pastries area. Check out the upstairs area too, yet another mini world to enjoy, with used books and seating area. Places like this are a rare find, Steamboat locals are very lucky."
"Cozy, welcoming place- good coffee and helpful staff. Love the book selection."
