Fable is becoming one of my favorite coffee shop and book store. I love the cozy vibes and it's small but offers a lot. Inside the shop there is some sitting both downstairs and upstairs. Outside has a good amount of sitting and plenty of shade. I've been enjoying trying their monthly specialty drinks. I also like how there are non dairy milk options. There is also a few book clubs, which is cool. Parking feels limited at first but I've learned that you can park in the back back on the grass or the the left side going into the back. read more

Perfectly fine coffee shop that's totally a house. Charming set-up on a strip of road where homeowners are obsessed with the American flag. It's 1776 over there. Parking seems like it would be nonexistent on a busy day. I was there at noon on a Sunday. I like how they straight up turned a house into a shop. I like how it was so peaceful inside and outside. I like their event schedule. I like the focus on books. I like the ultra fast wifi and nice pastries. What I'm no fan of is the very obvious target market of moms, leaving me feel a bit left out. It's super in-your-face. But hey, I guess stay-at-home mothers need stuff to do too. Can't see myself returning, so I wish them all the luck in the world. Best, A. read more

This is a truly lovely place. Beautifully designed and renovated with thoughtful decor and calming colors... lovely books and little corners to sit, sip and read everywhere you turn. Clean, crisp spaces that encourage relaxation and reading or cozy connections. Delicious drinks and snacks, plenty of space to spread out indoors or outside. My only critique would be to please add more used books! :) Well done! read more

Super cute bookstore and cafe downtown Holly Springs. So many great rooms to enjoy your coffee. I had a latte and cinnamon bun, and my husband had a salted caramel latte and breakfast sandwich. Enjoyed everything. The coffee was served beautifully in a real cup - bonus points! The lattes could have been a tad warmer but we both still really enjoyed them. The cinnamon bun was warm and toasted with the perfect amount of frosting for me. The breakfast sandwich was good - a little light on the bacon. read more

Coffee and breakfast sandwich was fabulous. Great little place to meet a friend or just hand out and grab a book.

Good coffee and delicious breakfast sandwich. A welcome addition to downtown Holly Springs.

it's a very cute place and I appreciate some of their sourcing, but we ended up paying $20 for two lattes. there were a ton of loose grounds in the bottom. we asked for honey in them because anything else makes me feel sick, but they ended up just using a honey flavored syrup. I wish I would've known there was no real honey or I wouldn't had added it and wasted so much read more
