This is a wondrous place that feels like a neighborhood museum. The owner, Tony, is extremely friendly. Stop by, enjoy a cup of complimentary espresso, and be sure to purchase some books!

Awesome place with just enough disorganization to make finding the right book an adventure that isn’t too overwhelming. Friendly atmosphere. They offered me a delicious espresso to drink while browsing. I’ll be back
