I had a wonderful cup of coffee in their shop. Absolutely LOVE the atmosphere and friendly, knowledgeable staff. (The owner was there and came over and talked!) Wonderful baked goods too! I want to come back and be a part of their Irish Sessions, (which take place twice a month on Sundays, most of the year!) It may not be on your list of places to travel too, but it was a lovely place to find and a great destination for book lovers and coffee fanatics to check out!

I walked in on a Friday evening to a small group playing board games at some of the tables. It looked very fun and I wanted to join! Then there is the nice fireplace with chairs all around and that’s just the coffee shop. You walk into the next room and it’s the wonderful bookstore. There is a nice children’s section with lots of books. I could spend hours in this place. The owner was super nice and I enjoyed talking to her several times.

Adorable new bookstore with friendly management. The type of place where you could get caught up in the magical world of books and rest from the stress of life. Having no other bookstores in the surrounding communities, I was delighted to discover its existence. I felt welcomed and valued. Highly recommend.
