"Food is very pricey because they're the only local coffee shop downtown and it's attached to a bookstore"

"We are still talking about our visit to Chamblins. We started our trip with coffee from the Cafe, and then were directed to where we could find Travis McGee and Detretive Morse books. My husband came very close to completing both collections. Mind you, this wasn't even the big Chamblins! Staff was warm and friendly, helpful and happy. We drove 2.5 hours to visit, and can't wait to go back!"

"On my weekend, visit to Jacksonville, I visited both locations and I prefer the uptown location. I thought it was better organized more spacious, better ventilation, and overall, just aesthetically my vibe, and I love the cafe in front as well. I'm a knitter and I found these five knitting books and I also visited a local craft store and found this skein of yarn"

"If you love books, this place is for you!! The amount of book for sale is incredible, on any subject you can imagine. They aisles are labeled by subject, and their helpful personnel can help you easily find books you're interested in. I only went to one location (evidently the bigger one) but they also sell books online."

"I loved walking through all the aisles. Book stores are some of my favorite places and Chamblins is one of the best."
