Second Story Books

★★★★★4.8(120 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This is a genuinely charming independent bookstore that fills a real gap in Laramie—reviewers consistently praise its expertly curated selection and thoughtful layout across three distinct sections (used books, new books, and a coffee shop), which puts typical chain bookstores to shame for variety and personality. The space itself is a draw, with multiple cozy nooks, antique architectural details, and a real sense that someone cares about how books are displayed and discovered. If you're a reader tired of generic retail chains, this is absolutely worth an hour of browsing.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Family friendly. Wifi.

Excellent use of old space complete with a battery of antique ceiling fans and transoms over the doors. A bookstore made of countless nooks, with lots of seating as well. It's a climb up the stairs to get to, but well worth it. Formerly known as Personally Recommended Books.
