What a find to still have a lovely coffee shop where you can sit on comfortable chairs and relax and here you can even pick up a and leaf through be it. Spent some time the other day sitting outside at a table working in the sun really relaxing. They also have wine for later in the day and they have really nice breakfast menu …very light though great music playing highly recommend this.

Definitely one of the best coffee shops I’ve been to! Everything is so good! Latte was spot on, strawberry lemonade and pesto parm quiche was amazing, chocolate chip cookies were also so good

I visited this place on my way out of town. I got a couple of good books and an excellent iced mocha. Everyone was friendly and willing to help. I would definitely be back next time I'm in town.

What a great place. I went to a conference last year in Auburn and I was so impressed that I took the family on a trip to visit. We stopped here for coffee on a Saturday morning and it was a little busy but it was prompt and enjoyable. I'm impressed by how well they manage the business. Does Cafe seems like an ideal place to sit down and study or do some good writing.

Excellent vibes at this bungalow converted to coffee house. Tasty drinks - hot or cold old. Delicious snacks - the chocolate chip cookie was on point and the mozzarella/onion roll was somehow both dense and fluffy! Love snagging a seat on the back porch to chat with friends/family or study. Was vey happy to be able to bring the dog, too, to enjoy the porch.

What a wonderful coffee shop/bookstore! I had the cappuccino and cheesecake and my daughter had iced mocha latte. Everything was really good! The staff was so nice and they worked great as a team to get your order to you quickly. Great coffee and the cheesecake was fantastic! There is indoor and outdoor seating. Inside there are a variety of seating types - tables, sofa, comfy chairs. You can browse the books while you wait and of course buy any you want. Definitely will be back there!

20/10 stars! This place has ALL the good vibes. Books, plenty of comfortable places to sit, all beverages from coffee to tea, to beer and wine. I had the Starbucks copy cat version of the vanilla/caramel macchiato it was delicious. Served in a real pottery mug. I sat on the back porch, that was shaded and very comfortable. Great place to study or read with friends, or by yourself. GREAT taste in music as well that was pleasantly playing over the speakers (not too loudly). Dogs are allowed outside. Will definitely be back, and recommending it to all of my friends. I hear they have 2 other locations as well, that I will be trying out.

I stopped in just to look around because I love independent bookstores. I did not make any purchases because they were very busy. So busy that I had to wait for a car to leave to be able to park. I do not think that is always a problem, but rather just due to being busy. They had nice selections of drinks and many book options. I enjoyed seeing so many people settled in and having a nice time.

I love the place. It's a great half-and-half combination of cafe and bookstore. I love how they serve their coffee and pastries in glass and ceramic plates if you dine in, instead of plastic, regardless of your dining option. Their cinnamon roll was really good, more on the sweeter side, which I like. The only thing is that the place does get packed and runs out of parking spaces.

This place is the definition of cozy. The moment you walk in, it feels warm, quiet, and inviting, like somewhere you could stay for hours without even noticing the time passing. It's definitely one of those places that feels intentional… peaceful, welcoming, and just a little bit magical. Definitely worth visiting, especially if you love books, coffee, and a quiet escape.
