Amazing space to chill, find a book, find a unique item, find love, and lose your mind. Fantastic customer service and drink bar filled with coffee’s, tea’s, and snacks. Taylor (owner) rocks and makes this place equal ground for all.

The owner is friendly and full of information. You are greeted at the door and assisted if you want it. They have a nice collection of books, audio and other treasures. They have an open mic night for readings, music and other. Come check this place out!

My favorite local bookstore! Not, only is it a bookstore but it has a Cafe and is a safe place for every person that walks in. The warm and friendly energy is just enough to heal a person. They also support youth and have a training program. So much good comes from this bookstore.
