What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"Bookworms, meet your new favorite hangout! 📚☕️ Right off Bishop, this indie spot is a bookstore, bar, and vinyl shop all rolled into one. Seriously cool vibes, great drinks, and a beautifully diverse selection of books (plus a cute kids' section!). Keep an eye out for their live music schedule—it sounds like a blast. Come for the books, stay for the whole scene."

"This is the coolest spot!! A cozy cabin vibe with cocktails and coffee and books?! What more could you ask for! I went for coffee and got a honey latte which was SO good!! Only warning is that they don’t sell decaf coffee here - so be prepared for full caf. I would love to go back and try some of their cocktails, because they looked delicious also! It is a rather small establishment on the inside, but there is a shocking amount of seating. Just know that it will likely be rather noisy because of this, and the music plays loudly. If you’re looking for a quiet place to journal, this is probably not it - but if you’re looking for a fun, vibey place to chat with friends, this is it! Edit: visited again when they opened at 10am on a Saturday, and it was very quiet and cozy vibes! The service is great, they got my drink out right away and the girl that made it was so nice!"

"Just off of Bishop, this indie shop is more than books. Huge bar and lots of casual seating to hang out. Vinyl records. Diverse selection of books. Nice mix of paperbacks and hardbacks. Noticed the live music schedule which sounded super fun. Cute little selection of kids' books. Fun stop!"

"What more could you want from a place? The concept is amazing. They have it all- food, amazing coffees and tea and amazing alcoholic beverages. The interior is cute and warm, conducive for doing work or mingling. Lots of outdoor seating when the sun is out as well. What really sets this place apart is the staff. Major S/O to Shanti (Shantee?) who is an angel and took care of me while I was having a particularly hard emotional day. You deserve your coin girl!"

"Absolutely love this combination bookstore/coffee shop/bar and wish I’d found it sooner! Best time to come is during book happy hour (Mon-Fri 3-6) where you buy a book and get a free drink. Daytime has a cafe feel and there’s WiFi for working. WiFi turns off at 7 and then it’s great for reading or socializing. Good variety of seating including outdoor seating, also frequent live music and other events. I’ve had both coffee and cocktails here and both were delicious!"

"First time back in a while! I've been in the evening and enjoyed an Irish Coffee, but today I was there in the afternoon and tried their delicious matcha...."
