From handmade soaps and jewelry to even being able to order locally grown peaches -- I was obsessed. They had "blind date with a book" selections wrapped up and ready to choose from, plus so many fun little treasures to browse whether you're popping in for a quick coffee run or planning to stay awhile. The cozy, quaint atmosphere made it feel instantly welcoming. Their spring menu was incredible! I tried the Berries n' Cream Iced Latte -- made with white chocolate, blueberry syrup, and topped with strawberry cold foam -- and it was creative, unique, and seriously so good. I also grabbed a strawberry muffin, which isn't something you see very often, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was truly one of a kind. Even as a first-time visitor, I felt right at home. I already can't wait to come back and see what seasonal creations they dream up next!

It's also a gift shop with artwork, crafts and other items made by locals artists and crafters. It's a great place to drink and shop. The shop has a couple of different rooms, with gifts and fun things in each room. I spied hand-poured candles, bespoke essential oil fragrances, crocheted stuffed animals, books published by local authors, kitchen goods, jewelry, magnets, gift cards, clothing, and even food items like local honey and peanut butter. I spent a little while browsing and I wanted all of the things. There's just something about gifts made by someone with intention and love. When I finally made my way to the coffee counter, I ordered not my standard black coffee, but a chai latte. Do you know why? Because I freakin' could! The chai latte was made with whole milk, and it was delicious all the way to the end. Coffee beverages come in two sizes: 12 ounces and 16 ounces. They also have baked goods, like pastries, bagels, muffins, croissants, and even a chocolate-filled waffle. I also saw that they offer avocado toast and bagel sandwiches. There are a few tables inside this cozy coffee shop, located near the counter where you order. This would be a good place to meet up with a friend and enjoy a nice coffee or chai, and sit for a while, or take your drinks to go and talk about nothing and everything.

Oh, and unlike a nearby coffee shop, the book store's restrooms are accessible and clean. I'll be back for sure!

I purchased a book that's been on my to-read list for some time (Nightbitch) and a new book that I've never heard of before, but was very intrigued by (Strange Pictures). Knocking 1 star off because there is a very bad odor, like something is wrong with the plumbing, inside the whole shop and it cut my visit way shorter than I had planned because I couldn't stand breathing it in any longer.

Their collection blends books and zines you haven't heard of yet with popular titles you often see and ones in between. They have a good range for different ages, too, with a nice young adult section, children's books, and middle grade as well as the plentiful shelves for adults. There's a local author shelf and there's a fun mix of local talent there in a variety of genres and age categories--plus sometimes, signed copies. They do carry some gift items like candles, and their custom stickers and apparel make me smile. The little book guys are fun! Tomorrow is well worth a stop if you're downtown. Whether you're wanting a book haul or supporting local with a sticker purchase, you'll find something here. Parking on Mass Ave is metered, but free on Sundays! There's also a parking garage nearby, and if you don't mind a walk, you may find some of the limited free street parking.

Sip N Read is a new bookstore in Cumberland, on the east side of Indianapolis, and it's the cutest little bookstore you ever did see. It's right next door to The Green Bean, a coffee shop and gift store. So, you can visit both places, and literally sip and read. Sip N Read started off as a bookmobile, but has since expanded to a brick-and-mortar bookstore, selling all sorts of books, from children's books to romance to nonfiction. They sell both new and gently used books, as well as "blind date" books that are wrapped and you don't know what they are until you purchase them and unwrap them. How fun! The bookstore is small, but there are a couple of chairs to sit in and read your books. Or, you can just pop over to the coffee shop next door and read, I suppose, if you purchase something. Parking is behind the building and is shared with The Green Bean, so it can be a little crowded.
