What People Are Saying
from Google"I saw a little blurb on instagram about this cafe, and soon after found myself driving near Hagerstown. I decided to stop and check it out and I’m so glad I did! The wonderful woman behind the counter was just as sweet as could be. I can’t drink coffee, and being a new spot, the drink menu is rather brief, but I found a delicious tea I’ve never heard of and was really happy with it. I didn’t eat so I can’t comment on the food. The seating area is huge but somehow also cozy. Lots of comfy chairs and couches, lighting that is t too bright nor too dim, some mellow music playing, beautiful wood floors, natural colors, and on and on. I really loved Next Chapter. I wish I had a coffee shop like this near where I live, but I’ll have to settle for stopping in when I’m passing Hagerstown. I really hope this new place will be here for years to come!"
"Loved this cafe! Very cozy atmosphere, they have a small stage for future events, we tried tea and pizza, they were good. Great variety of books that you can also purchase. Definitely will be coming here again!"
"It’s in its first week but I see such potential for this place! The entry way is gorgeous, the book sections are cute and easy to navigate, and the back space looks like it could host a lot of people and be a nice place to sit and work! While the cafe is still in progress, they offer a few things and I look forward to seeing it expand! Every great downtown needs a bookshop and I’m loving the possibilities for this one so far!"
"This place is so unique and spacious! It is new so they don’t have the espresso bar up yet but we got regular coffee and it was good. It’s a vintage lovers dream. They have a beautiful old school bar to sit at. They also have a decent amount of books to purchase. I love this place. I’m so happy to have found it."
"This place was such a vibe. The place itself has so much personality, and the chairs were SO comfortable. The pizza had a handmade crust, the drip coffee was good, and the naked wings were crunchy, piping hot, and came with good sauces. Everything tasted fantastic and the ambiance was on point!"
