A rather eclectic place- Birkenstock dealer, new and used books, good (but not great) coffee…read moredrinks, and lots of space for customers (and for growth). We ordered an americano, con panna, a double shot, and a hot cider. The con panna and double shot were better than average, particularly given the X factor of a smallish town coffee shop, but were still a bit on the bitter side. Same for the americano. The cider was good but a little sweet-ask for less caramel. The guy (the owner I think) was very friendly. He gave us a 10% discount on our drinks because he talked one of us into buying a drink when she wasn't planning on getting one.

Literally something for everyone and anyone. If you can't find something to take home here..you're broken go home! Lol. If we didn't have somewhere to be when we stopped we definitely would have been there for more than the 45mins we spent there. There are so many rooms, and a basement overflowing with books. They also have CDs, records, vhs tapes, art work, old magazines/news papers..just so many things. The prices on some things are a touch high...but it's worth it if it keeps Grumpy's going. There is a public restroom if you end up staying longer than expected..like we did. We ended up taking home 5 books, a picture we took off the wall, and an awesome experience..spent $16 for everything.

These booksellers are not judgmental people and will give you the same level of service no matter who you are. The selection is super, especially considering the size of the space.
