  Great place for brunch with plenty of sitting areas both inside and outside. Loved their breakfast sandwich. Would be nice to spend a couple of hours there. Expect a line and a bit of wait time during the weekend.

  Wait! A book store that serves coffee AND beer!!!! And has irreverent books!?!! I'm hooked. I love this place and it's a must visit when you're in the area. Just check this place out.

  I went to the Literary to hear a poet give a reading from their new collection. The seating is plentiful and varied and the space is divided nicely into cozy areas, reminiscent of living rooms, with book shelves lining most walls. Although I didn't order anything to drink, I read on their website that they sell wine, coffee, other beverages, and food earlier in the day. It's very inviting and I'll be returning with my wife and family.

  The moment you step inside this wonderful establishment all your senses make you aware that it’s a very special place in our timeline. The perfect nook to hide out during a rainy or lazy day. Excellent selections of bubbles too.

  I went in during their soft launch and had a great time! There were lots of enthusiastic staff ready to lend a helping hand and walls of books to browse. I found a beautifully illustrated children’s book and have my eye on a bunch of merchandise for holiday shopping! I particularly enjoyed reading through the bar’s menu! They have lots of options ranging from basic (birthday cake waffles, a snack platter of your favorite childhood packaged treats!) to gourmet (apple and raclette paninis, roasted squash with sesame seeds🤤). I’ve already told my fiancé that I want to come back on my birthday to enjoy those waffles!
