We were in Charleston visiting family and took a walk downtown one morning when we stumbled across…read moreTaylor Books, and it was basically my heaven. A coffee shop, independent bookstore, and small art gallery all in one place. Totally my vibe. I grabbed a vanilla latte, which was delicious, and took my time sipping it while browsing the bookstore and wandering through the gallery. They also have a used book section, which made it even better because I love taking my time browsing and seeing what I can find. The whole space feels cozy, creative, and welcoming- the kind of place where you could easily lose track of time. I'm so glad we happened upon it and would absolutely stop back anytime I'm in Charleston.

I've only been here a couple times, but it's been consistently pleasant. The Moroccan Mint tea is…read morerefreshing and wonderful. The veggie quiche is delicious! And you can't beat their deal on a house coffee with refills for $2.75. Love this place, the folks are friendly and it's such a peaceful place.

Great little coffee place for those looking to do a bit of work or just hang out for a while. A…read morefriend and I came here with the intent to check out the fall festivities, though the rain had put a stop to them sadly. Still, this place made the trip worthwhile and I enjoyed a nice hot chocolate (and complimentary Halloween-themed shortbread cookie!). The barista was pleasant and answered our questions about the environs. We only checked out the bookstore section briefly though it did have an excellent selection, and even had a typewriter set up for aspiring typists to play around with. As a typewriter owner, it's always cool to see opportunities for the next generation to get a chance to work with these machines (if only so they can appreciate how much easier word processors are when it comes to editing!) I would gladly come back here again, and hopefully take more time to check out the books as well. Overall: 4.5/5 stars ---- Pros: - Great drinks. - Pleasant staff. - Quiet place to do work or look for a new book to dive into. - Easy street parking nearby. Cons: - Most tables are two tops, so if your group is three or more, you may have to improvise your seating arrangement.

It's a cute little used book store in a small strip mall off Blizzard Dr. There are three rooms to…read morethe store, with genre fiction in the first room, children & YA in the next room, and non-fiction/literature in the last. The general fiction leans heavily towards the Christian fiction and related genres, but there was some contemporary fiction like Saramago and DFW (I almost bought a copy of "Infinite Jest," but really, when am I going to have time to reread that?). Their sci-fi and fantasy collection wasn't too bad either. Prices were pretty good (the aforementioned DFW was listed at $7, and sci-fi paperbacks between $2-4). The proprietor let us know that everything is catalogued, so you could inquire about a particular title if you were looking for something specific. It looks like they also buy used books, which is good to know. They do play religious music in the store, but they also have Bible verses posted in the window, so I suppose that's fair warning.
