What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Read Shop is the cutest spot! They have tons of books and nicknacks for sale, but mainly a lot of coffee table books. The reviews are correct, unfortunately they do not have a lot of seating. Just a few tiny bar-top tables and stools upstairs, but nothing comfy to sit and read or work in. The coffee was pretty good! I got a honey latte and it was on the sweeter side, but many people like that. I think it would’ve been better if I got it half sweet, so just be conscious of that if you don’t like super sweet coffee. I’m excited to visit again and try more coffee!"
"This spot is SUCH A GEM!!!! I drive by all the time on auto pilot. This week; I was dire for a coffee & thought ‘why not’. Immediately I was greeted warmly by the barista behind the bar. There might be cool stuff in the menu but I knew what I wanted. My head was turned by all the cool stuff in the room!!!!! I asked for extra time to look at post cards. I added post card to my order. Walking out; she mention more stuff upstairs. Bet your bottom dollar- I set my stuff down & walked up those stairs. Jaw drop. I don’t know how long I was up there. I walked down the stairs with my arms full & starting a ‘next time’ list. Please support this incredible gem!! Coffee. Books. Good vibes!"
"Such a hidden gem! I stopped by Read Shop and instantly fell in love with the cozy, inviting vibe. It’s the perfect mix of a charming bookstore and a relaxing coffee shop. I tried their matcha and it was so good 😊 smooth, not too sweet, and perfectly made. It’s a great spot to read, work, or just unwind with a good drink. Can’t wait to go back! 💚📚"
"Read Shop is an absolute staple of the Knox Henderson neighborhood/ community. It is always clean. The novelty of the items for purchase are so satisfying and curated beautifully. You are guaranteed a delicious coffee and pastry every time, prepared by who I am convinced, some of the friendliest faces in all of Dallas. Gigi especially is 100% sure to make my day. With the privilege of being surrounded by the most welcoming atmosphere around, Read Shop is a place to relax, study, meet up with friends, swing by on a walk, etc. You’ll have my business forever!"
"I am not the biggest fan of stumptown so I can only give this cafe so much credit, it's focused a lot more on aesthetics which makes me a little sad since there aren't many places to sit and read the tons of books that line the walls. A cute spot to visit and enjoy if you live in the area."
"Cute coffee shop/book store. I enjoyed browsing after ordering a latte. There is also a kids books section and seating upstairs. Love the set up!"
