Crema's Take
“This bookstore café thrives on genuine community—regulars know each other by name, there's live music and poetry most weeks, and Saturday mornings might catch you lingering through a kids' story time you didn't plan on. The coffee is solid and the breakfast sandwiches (especially the jalapeño cheddar biscuit) are cheap enough to justify a regular habit, but you're really here for that cozy, glittering-shelves vibe that feels like the neighborhood's actual living room.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →Little cafe hidden inside a bookstore. The breakfast sandwiches are good and cheap. The atmosphere is super lovely and cozy. It seems like everyone here knows each other
Delicious jalapeño cheddar biscuit, fun gingerbread latte, and extremely kind service. I’d never been in here before, but it’s a gem! Exactly the vibe you want from a bookish cafe :)
The platonic ideal of a community book store — glittering-sprawling-overflowing book selection, food and coffee, community programming and the boundless energy of neighbors who like and care for each other. Can’t wait to come back.
I happened to go in on Saturday morning for a beverage and there was the absolute most adorable story time going on! I almost didn't go back to the car shows it was so entertaining!
A cute little cafe and book store and staple of the neighborhood. Hosts community events nearly every week from live music to poetry and more!
