There's frequently something going on in Booklovers, author talks, book signing, and demonstrations. They have a large book selection to pick from including local authors and autographed copies of books. There is also a good selection of used and children's books in the back part of the store. I love the selection of gifts also, cards, jewelry, honey. I'm sure you could find something here for lots of people on your list! Make sure you try one of their delicious made to order drinks, coffees or smoothies and take a look in their dessert case for an amazing treat!

It makes you keep wanting to come back for more. Josh (an employee) was very helpful with suggestions and so nice. So funny that we both have the same name lol. The best part in my opinion is the delicious mouth-watering food and beverages that will quench your thirst and make you smile from ear to ear! I definitely come here often and would most definitely tell anyone about this beautiful place and will not think twice about it! I have never met the owner personally, however I have been there on several occasions while she was there her presence is one that will not be forgotten. Her enthusiasm and sunny personality beams greatness. The interactions between her and her staff seem like a well-developed family environment which is conducive for any great business!!!

It was absolutely worth the wait. The proprietor has trademarked the phrase, ' the perfect marriage between a cupcake and a truffle'. Here's the bottom line, they're cake pops without the stick. Having said that, they are delicious little delectable treats in a variety of flavors. I saw some people whining about the price. I felt the $20 for 16 various flavors was extremely reasonable. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee after a meal. Just the right size to indulge and feel no remorse lol The owner is super friendly and has a niche in the area unique to her. Highly recommend you stop in and get a variety pack! Outdoor seating available too. Bon appetite!

Want some examples? Of course you do, or you wouldn't be reading this. Cookies, muffins, pastries, beverages, bottled sauces and condiments, candies, nuts cakes, grab and go entrees, soups, meat pies, a deli counter, sandwiches, snacks, plenty of deviled egg varieties, breads and bagels, and to top things off, how about 30 or so ice creams? We had a blast checking out this cool little country store in Connecticut's quiet corner. We bought a hunk of Eggplant Parmesan from their deli ($10.95), a pint of spicy chicken corn chowdah ($6.95), two singles scoops of ice cream (PbB Banana and Mayan Chocolate) at $5 each, and a big Cinnamon Swirl Croissant ($4.95). The total was $32.85 before tax. We split the Eggplant for dinner, and I can attest that it was excellent. It was a big portion, piled high of very tender eggplant slices in a marinara sauce. Eggplant can be a tricky food and it can turn up tough and rubbery from time to time. But not here. I had the Chowdah for lunch today. It was loaded with corn, carrots, potatoes, and quite a lot of shredded chicken in a creamy broth. I was disappointed by the lack of spiciness in a dish advertised as spicy. But I'd get that missing spice very soon. The ice creams were very good but were on the expensive side for $5 a single scoop. When I ordered the Mayan Chocolate, the super friendly young lady behind the counter wanted to be sure I knew it would be spicy. Well, she was right about the spice; it had an undertone of chili peppers that mixed very well with the cold chocolate ice cream. But spicy rarely bothers me, so I thought It was awesome. The only bummer we had in our grocery bag was that big Cinnamon Swirl Croissant. It wasn't exactly fresh and was quite brittle and crumbly in places. But it was big, and the center of the pastry seemed a lot "fresher" and softer. That portion was quite good. We had a very enjoyable visit overall, and I can definitely see repeat visits to Alamode in our future.
