The Literary

I finally got around to getting over to the literary and I was not disappointed. The space is small and busy, so I appreciated their signs that requested no working/studying during their busy hours. The food was absolutely amazing on all fronts. Highly recommend the poutine. Where you get a table definitely impacts your experience and we were lucky enough to get one by a window. I will definitely be back!!!

While my NYC bagel dish was good, we both got food poisoning from the tomato soup and grilled cheese dish. I’m assuming the cheese was bad because it was disgusting. This place needs better standards, it’s disappointing because this would otherwise be a cute cafe.

This is just a 10 star spot. They've got an awesome selection of books for their available space. The staff definitely knows what's going on in the literary world. They've got new releases, classics, BookTok hits, YA series, picture books, and literally everything in between. I particularly loved the local authors section! The staff is so friendly and helpful. I ordered a book online thru their website and picked up in store with zero fuss. They have events almost every night from book clubs to local experts to trivia. We attended their last Bedazzle a Book night and it was SO much fun. Everything was ready and waiting. Our meals and drinks were awesome. Staff was so friendly and helpful. It just made a perfect night out for our neighborhood moms and friends. This spot is an absolute gem, whether you're an avid reader or just someone who is looking for a delicious dinner and drink. Definitely add The Lit to your list!!

I FINALLY got to try an item off the brunch menu at the super cool The Literary. It's a hot spot where our local WCIA Meteorologist and his wife like to visit often. Sometimes it's simply called The Lit. Heard of it? . I took my friend to a belated birthday brunch outing in July. My friend needs an accessible entrance as well as accessible seating. The Lit has both. I found the perfect table for us inside! . Marcia had the Burrata Peach Caprese and Peach Blossom Iced Tea. And I settled for the Avocado Toast and the Pistachi-goat Shaken Espresso. We absolutely loved our meals! If you like books, cocktails and delicious unique food options, this gem is worth the drive, ya'll. They offer dishes for those who have some dietery restrictions. They have a Facebook page. Check it out!

The family really enjoyed our brunch. The vegan options were plentiful, enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and tofu scramble. The hash browns coming with both were delicious. The service was speedy, but everything felt very chill. Definitely coming back soon, you should too!
