Great bookshop! It’s perfect to grab a cup of tea and read a book. Their teas are fabulous, the lavender latte in particular. The staff is friendly and gracious.

Charming and cozy bookstore and cafe. I purchased a beautiful card for my nephews graduation with my two littles in tow. The woman behind the counter shared a few things for me to do with the kids and I’m so thankful! I also lost my stroller cup holder and they held it for me. I am looking forward to coming back for a coffee sans kids. Definitely pop in if you are in the area.
