    Tea
    Marquita J.

    After brunch one weekend, my friend and I decided to try out the Read Shop for some tea and a place to work. Upon entry, we noticed how busy the shop was. But also noticed how cute it was and was glad we stumbled upon this place. It was a great place to work but not too long as it isn't comfortable to sit with a good posture for a computer. At least where we sat. But I saw some great places to sit and read. Also the service was great with delicious tea and hot drinks. Lastly, plenty of parking is nearby and free.

    The cafe was so cute and was also a bookstore ! There weren't too many seating options inside the shop. I got the matcha latte with lavender syrup. It was a little too sweet and the matcha flavor wasn't too strong. The service was friendly. Overall, the drink was okay but the space was cute.

    I think this place is a really cute idea and is the perfect spot for a girls date. The coffee is pretty good but I preferred the matcha. The coffee drinks are a solid 3/5 but the environment adds a star to the rating. They have a lot of really fun books and great artwork inside the stop. There is very limited seating inside but there is also seating outside if you wanna stick around. Their food options are limited and I didn't see anything gluten free options.

    I came here while waiting for my appointment at the spa nearby and I'm SO glad I did! I have seen this place on social media a ton, and I'm so glad it was literally down the street from the spa. I got an iced caramel latte with almond milk and this coffee is 10/10!! I felt alert yet relaxed, and I spent about an hour there answering emails. I got a warmed butter croissant as well, which was buttery and delicious. The book selection was pretty simple, and I wish they would have had a few more fiction books (but, I'm sure it's based on purchasing data). I love this place and will definitely return!!

    I came here to get some work done and the coffee definitely helped me tackle all my tasks for the day. The price is definitely worth it. There is limited seating but the spots they do have, both indoor and outdoor, have a nice view. They also sell some really interesting items if you feel like browsing. Overall, A1!

    I love this little gem of a place. It was a super peaceful environment. The staff was extraordinary friendly. I absolutely loved Aaliyah. She was really sweet and made some great recommendations. I got a fantastic lavender vanilla iced latte that was so good. I highly recommend this spot for fun coffee drinks.

    iced dirty pumpkin spice chai latte
    Maggie H.

    Highly rated chai! I think about the iced pumpkin spice chai latte all the time. It had an amazing flavor and depth to it. Also, the coffee is affordable, not overpriced. The menu is on the simpler side, and there isn't much seating. There's also no outlets, but there's a few seats by the window. I love the book theme, and how it's a chill cafe to read and sip chai to. There is a free parking lot next to it, and they offer punchable cards as their reward program.

    This is a cute lil gem of a spot. We were both satisfied with our drinks, the space was small but clean, & there's outdoor seating. Cool concept for Us book & caffeine lovers. Parking was tight, but folks are II in & out; so it's not hard to find a spot. Enjoy

    Lovely coffee shop that has tasty drinks including a variety of coffee drinks & freshly steeped tea at great prices. Offers indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of free parking. Would recommend.

    I thought my drink was just okay and seating is very limited inside but great place to browse for books and other small gifts!

    What brand of oat milk?

    Typically Oatly! There are still shortages but a lot of shops have been getting it back in stock again.

In addition to all the goodies inside the store, they also have a great garden/plant section outside behind the picket fence. We really enjoy Love Street and for good reason, actually many reasons... Service - Always welcoming, helpful and friendly! Every person we have encountered here, whether it be in the main shop or in the garden shed has been great! Inventory - Not only do they have a lot of local branded items, they also feature a lot of locally sourced and created items including artwork, accessories, snacks, foods, clothing, etc...In addition to these items, they have plenty of unique things that make great gifts...even some items of the gag variety! It really is a hodgepodge of inventory as you will see local made honey next to tumblers and coasters in one room, walk through a doorway to get to toys, dog accessories and clocks then wonder into a room filled with shirts and magnets only to turn the corner to find shelves of soap and candles! Outside they have a beautiful garden area that features all varieties of plants and flowers, and accessories including some fantastic flower pots! Overall, Love Street is one of our favorite stores in Smyrna! It's a feel good and homey place to swing through whether window shopping or in search of that perfect gift for someone!

The prices were ridiculous. I don't mind paying for quality but there was nothing unique here. Very generic. Nothing you couldn't just order off the internet for much cheaper. A small candle that would probably cost $10-$15 in any other boutique store was $50 here. I mean, there was nothing inspiring in this store whatsoever. Just lazy merchandising and boring, overpriced products you could buy anywhere else. That's my honest review before what happened next. The owner called the police because she claimed another customer caught my wife shoplifting. We were detained in a humiliating fashion by several police officers in the front of her store for 45 minutes while they watched security footage over and over trying to find damning evidence of something that didn't happen. When nothing was found, the spineless owner had us criminally trespassed instead of apologizing. I noticed in another review that a minority received terrible service here as well. Not surprised at all to see that the trash who owns this store is racist, too. If you order cookies from Crumbl, make sure to order well enough in advance that you won't be tempted to visit this little piece of retail hell. Boring, generic, rude, overpriced. Completely garbage ownership.
