Morgenstern Books & Café

A true gem, honestly I would be tempted to go ahead and give Morgenstern's 5 stars just based on the book store. They have a wise selection, helpful staff, and a lot of fun/interesting weekly & monthly events. On top of that the cafe has enough drink and snack options to be a meaningful alternative to larger corporate coffee places.

Wonderful independent bookstore, with an excellent selection of fiction, non-fiction, best sellers and a superb children's book section. Also games and activities for young and old. Lovely coffee, tea and pastries area to take a break in. You will find gifts galore, many featuring local artists and crafts artisans. Big bonus: a monthly schedule of book readings and events for all ages. Don't pass up the opportunity to visit this engaging, magical store.

I'm mostly a manga reader so, while I wish the manga section was bigger, I also get they cater more to novel readers which is perfectly fine. The cafe they have inside is completely local and unfranchised. It has some pretty good coffee for a pretty fair price! It can be kind of hard to find space in the cafe corner, but that's because it's a local favorite. Don't be afraid to ask to take a seat at the community tables! People here are usually super friendly. Maybe not talkative (especially if they're studying or working), but always nice.

A spectacular independent book store! It was more than worth the almost two hour drive. The selection of books is truly outstanding - so many genres. There is a book for everyone’s taste and interest! It is perfectly organized and clean. I bought three books signed by the author there. The cafe is delightful! I had an amazing Christmas-y latte. Next time I visit I will try one of the delicious pastries. I truly wish I lived closer - I would definitely join one or more of their book clubs! Even with the drive, you guys have a new loyal customer and I will be back after the snow!

Phenomenal indie bookstore! They pack a lot into a relatively small space. Has every major category that I'd expect to find at a Barnes & Noble, just more curated. Their displays are attractive and mix in a lot of well-themed non-book merchandise. Their giftware and original art by local artists and crafters makes it a solid gift shop as well. Nice selection of bags/tees/gifts from Out Of Print. Great café.
