“Since we were near downtown, what better place than this cozy spot that sits attached between a book store and a brewery.”

What customers say

Their coffee beans (which they roast regularly) are some of the best tasting in town 💫 Nice in the summertime because it’s a cool/dark/open respite from the sun/heat. Another cool feature is that it’s right next to the independent bookstore so you can grab your coffee and browse around the store for a bit.

Great lil’ cup of freshly ground beans 🫘 🫏 Got the ol’ donkey moving. Good thang too cause some ghosts where dancing in the event room..

★★★★★ — Justin, 2026-04

So glad we found this trifecta: bar, coffee shop, and bookstore (shared space with Bookmarks). Tons of seating inside in a huge space (spread out), one table with chairs outside. Several Foothills beers on tap and a full food menu (cooked at the adjacent Foothills brewery which has table service).

★★★★★ — Kim, 2021-12

Book café with various types of seating areas - cozy, artistic, library-like atmosphere. Good for studying & social gathering.
