    I saw this local bookstore and coffee shop while walking in town. It's so cute inside. It's bookstore with many seating areas and the coffee shop in the back. They have an outdoor deck with tables and chairs. There is a second floor down a winding staircase and they had apothecary sections. I got an iced London fog, very delicious. I would definitely come back and it's a place where you can bring friends or cowork (there are outlets).

    My husband and I were strolling through downtown Annapolis one morning when we stumbled upon Old Fox Books. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were absolutely immaculate. Someone was playing beautiful music on the piano, which created the most peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The bookstore itself is charming and thoughtfully laid out, with multiple levels to explore and perfect for browsing. There's also a coffee shop inside, which just makes the whole experience even better. Their selection is also varied, with a great mix of new and classic titles, and the location couldn't be more perfect.

    It looks cute from the outside, but the inside is far more charming. I took two steps inside and fell in love. And around every single corner, fell more deeply. I joked with the gentleman who checked me out that I was in love and he said that's what happened to him and now he works/lives there. Ha. There is a cute coffee shop in the back with outdoor deck seating and an even cuter ivy covered patio on the first floor down some steps. Coffee smelled wonderful, with a few pastries, and some seasonal monthly drink flavors that looked delicious. Didn't try anything bc we had just eaten lunch. Inside on the first level there is additional tables and seating and some comfy chairs throughout - then, you can go down some old iron spiral stairs to the lower level and find two cute rooms loaded with interesting books, more comfy seating, and a witchy section with several herbs and items. In general - I loved absolutely everything and would be here ALL the time if I lived here. What a cool spot to meet a friend for a coffee, read a book, or work from home. Another reviewer called it epic. I agree, the word fits here if you are at all a literature nerd.

    Calling all book and coffee lovers!!!! Wow!!! This spot is super cute. This amazing spot has a plethora of new and used books and other goodies for purchase. I took my daughter and her friend here and they were so excited. We tried out their coffee (I went with a regular small black coffee by Ceremony and it did not disappoint). Seating is limited but looks like there are options to sit outside during warmer temperatures. Will definitely return.

    This place was an epic Coffee and drinks in the initial room that's full of foxes. The basement has an alchemy room essentially where you can learn of herbs and their use, along with buy some on site. (Let me try out your new shipments pls) There's the main cafe area and then the downstairs where you deep dive into alchemy and the like. Great place

    Wow, such a cute place to stop in. They have a small selection of coffee, but it tastes good! I went and looked at beautiful books and sat in the garden in the back. It was relaxing and beautiful and I got to chat about a book I found with one of the employees who clearly had a passion for beautiful books. They have so much comfy seating, a variety of books, and a great atmosphere!

    The children's books area is great, too!

    Old Fox Books has the cozy, warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel at home when you walk in. They've got a huge variety of books, everything from rare old out of print books to local interest to the newest releases, and if they don't have what you want they will order it for you, no problem. You'll also find some locally made cards and crafts, and a whimsical and chill back patio area with tables and chairs where you can enjoy your yummies you bought at the café inside and/or read your new book, write out that artistic and gorgeous card you just bought, to top off your very enjoyable visit.

    Fui de paso por Annapolis y me encontré con esta cafetería, que la idea de que sea una librería y cafetería a la vez me fascinó, así que mi novia y yo entramos y nos encontramos con un lugar hermoso lleno de un ambiente muy lindo y relajante, el café fue muy bueno pero el lugar es encantador lo recomiendo 10/10 la atención fue muy buena, nunca suelo dejar reviews pero sentí que ese lugar lo merecía, 1 hora de viaje valió la pena y quiero volver

    Lots of used books!

    I'm not in Annapolis often, but when I am, Old Fox Books is always a stop I'll make. It's adorable inside. Super cozy with seemingly endless corners to explore. They have an impressive collection of used books of all sorts of topics. My favorite section is downstairs where they keep the witchy and occult type books. They also have a coffee shop in the back and even an outdoor area. It's one of those places you want to spend hours inside exploring but you'd still never feel like you saw it all. I recommend taking anyone to Old Fox Books, but especially the out of towner. It's certain to be a memorable little adventure.

    Great book store and the employees are so friendly! I tried their coffee as well and got an iced vanilla latte. Really good and it was made so quick. Walked around the store a bit and loved the selection. There's some seating scattered around the store to read and enjoy your coffee. Overall a great bookstore!

    If you're looking for a cozy spot to browse for books and drink some coffee, look no further than Old Fox Bookstore and Coffee. They had a great a tea selection--five different herbal options to choose from in addition to their many caffeinated options. The ambiance in the back of the bookstore is adorable. They've set up a few tables and comfy chairs, creating the perfect nook to read while savoring your tea or coffee. The staff here are friendly, knowledgeable about their offerings, and fast service.

    Kids stuff!

    Easily the best bookstore I've ever been to, partly because it's so much more than that! If I had kids, I'd bring them here every weekend. There's a garden in the back, DELICIOUS coffee, a patio, a toy house, a witch section downstairs, comfy recliners, and a harp! For little telescopes, great art, and a really chill location on Maryland Avenue. I'd stop by again if I'm ever in town.

    Great little book store in on historic Maryland Ave in Annapolis. Super busy Sunday with fall festival 2022. Bought 2 used books this round. Actually went down to the basement this round. Great history collection down there. Employees very friendly. Nice sitting areas. Great coffee bar. Great outdoor seating area. Must do in Annapolis (home).

    There's a coffee shop in the back as well, which I will also review - it's called Brown Mustache Coffee.

    I must have walked by Back Creek Books dozens and dozens of times - on Main Street among dozens of…read moreother shops and restaurants and bars, it's right truly in the heart of historic Annapolis. And yet I'd never stopped in until last week! I don't know what took me so long. It's a bookstore, but it's not your every day bookstore. Back Creek Books sells used books and antiquarian books (rare and very old books). It's small, so I wondered if I wouldn't find something I wanted to take home with me. What a silly thought. I had about 20 minutes to kill before heading to a work event and popped in. I found several books I wanted to take home within just a few minutes and without even leaving the first one or two bookshelves (fiction). They have lots of older editions, signed books, and less common finds - many at still very affordable prices (don't get intimidated by their very rare and quite expensive books in the front window, not everything in the shop is a first edition with a high price tag). I picked up a signed book of short stories that I'm really excited to read. This probably isn't the bookshop for you if you're looking for something specific or if you only read new releases. But it's a great shop for browsing if you're looking for something unexpected, different, or special!

    If you are into unique and collectible books, then this is the shop for you. They have some amazing…read moretreasures here! The shop is nicely organized and well-maintained, and the guy running the shop is very friendly. I was amazed at how many cool books they had!
