I come every Sunday morning to read a few chapters with my boyfriend while having the strawberry matcha or chai. The outdoor sitting area is nice when the weather is good & it's cozy if you can get a spot upstairs on one of the two couches. Their book selection is full of architectural & interior design, art history, cooking and a variety of children's books. They also have other small things to purchase that goes with the seasons or current holiday. The shop is very basic menu wise for coffee and food. However, I still find it nice and not as overstimulating like other coffee spaces. read more

It's cute coffeeshop with a store for candles and books. They have lattes and basic coffee items and pastries. They have some parking but it doesn't have lines, so people take up half the spots. The lattes are also $7 for 16oz, which is bit much compared to chains that Offer that for larger cup. read more

A cute cafe with book store combo! I was driving by and decided to checked it out. It's two story with plenty of reading and seating options. I will have to go back sometime to try the coffee :) read more

Cute coffee shop/book store. I enjoyed browsing after ordering a latte. There is also a kids books section and seating upstairs. Love the set up! read more

Cutest bookshop ever. A nice addition to lower Greenville for sure! I got an iced chai with oatmilk and it was so refreshing since it was pretty hot out. We came in the afternoon so all the pastries were sold out. Great selection of books! Only issue is not much seating. We parked ourselves in the window sill as my daughter needed to work on her homework. Look forward to how this bookshop will develop! read more

Sitting is a little limited and mostly stools, the coffee was ok, my friend had the matcha and unfortunately didn't enjoy it. They have jellycats and lots of books though and some stickers ! read more

Looking at the reviews, I think I went to a different place. All these 4 and 5 star reviews, and I honestly don't see it. Only one review mirrored what I felt when going in. First things first, it is a very cute place. Aesthetically pleasing, well organized/clean, and friendly staff. But that's about all it has going for it. The drinks we got were mediocre at best. There's a huge display for what I'm assuming should be holding some kind of food/pastries but it sat empty on a Saturday afternoon. For a store called the READ shop, there's actually no place to sit and READ. The two windows on the first floor have a ledge that you can sit on, and upstairs there a couch for 2, and another little sitting area, again for 2. They have a handful of high-top bars that you can put your drink on and flip through a book but that about it. They have a decent kids book area upstairs but no place for said kids to actually sit/interact. Majority of the other books are coffee table books, or some sort of picture book. The way that it's advertised on social media makes it seem like something it's not. This is no book lover's friend, this is not hangout friendly, it's fairly useless unless you want to pop in for a drink and look at picture books while standing. If you want some place to catch up with a friend, so even to simply sit and read while drinking your coffee, you're better off at a Starbucks or local coffee house. All the social medial posts and high rated reviews are deceiving, in my opinion. read more

First timer: Probably the cutest coffee shop I've been to in DFW area. It has quite a bit of merchandise (candles, books, stickers, etc.) however it wasn't overwhelming seeing as it was extremely neat, organized, and allowed plenty of room to still move around. Staff is all friendly (there were only two present when I entered). Upstairs displayed art and more decor. The iced latte I ordered was good and strong. There are dairy alternatives however they weren't displayed on the menu, and they were sold out of a few things when I popped in. All in all. Great vibe. read more

Man... I wanted to love this place. My two favorite things - coffee and books, but the design of the place is not welcoming in that there is no where to linger. It would be amazing if the second story was more of a casual kind of coffee and study/work place, kind of like white rhino in uptown. It's so close, and could be so good but seems like they haven't thought it all the way through. read more

This place is so cute! I wish there are more seating though, I think they could definitely add more especially with the space they have, but each time I go there is an improvement! I love the drinks they have especially their seasonal menus! Last summer they had a strawberry matcha to die for! I love how it taste like strawberry shortcake and you can still taste the matcha as well. I'm happy that they brought it back this summer and I cannot wait for their fall/winter menu to be back again because that cinnamon roll oat latte and peach cobbler chai latte were heavenly. I am also a fan of their cold brews! The staff are so nice and extremely welcoming! I am a regular here and the barista that always works on Monday and Tuesday mornings always remember my drink order and usually has it ready for me! I keep forgetting to ask for their name, but if you see a girl with tattoos she's my favorite barista I frequently see. I wish their outdoor/patio area has more comfortable seating and better tables and a awning or cover for those hot sunny days especially in Texas weather! This place would be a hit, I know a lot of the neighborhood people agree! So if you're the owner and are reading these reviews, please consider! But other than that this place is my favorite spot in the neighborhood! Sad to see other people not giving it a try, but hopefully the City of Dallas will lift up their restrictions because this place is truly a hidden gem! read more

Cute space. Super clean. Coffee was great (stumptown). Brewed me a fresh drip coffee. Weird music choices. No seating. So you really can't "read" a book in the shop. You can only purchase the books. But you can't stay here to read them. Sort of wild. Coffee was 5/5. Review based only on the coffee. read more

"Missed the Mark" The City of Dallas would not re-new their original parking space permits. Parking permits determine how much can go inside a restaurant or business, including tables, seating, even how much coffee equipment they can have on the counter. They had to re-vamp their original floor plan which included lots of seating, tables, a quiet conference work room, along with a patio full of tables and seating which they can't really use at the moment. Keep in mind this was a project on hold almost right after pandemic. They also had re-percussion from just one member of the neighborhood association on how this specific business would just crowd the surrounding neighboring streets. And so reading reviews on how this coffee shop "missed the mark" because of the limited seating and weird layout sucks given all the obstacles - when they are just a small business, trying to ride the wave and make it through. There are other small local businesses in the area who are having the same city permit issues. read more

This place is super cute! Lots of fun knick knacks to look at. I got a chocolate muffin towards the end of the day and it was delicious and 50% off! Not sure if that is a normal end of the day discount they do but it was a happy surprise for me! read more

The coffee and staff are amazing! Alongside this is the outstanding shop with a great selection of books and gifts for all walks.

Have been wanting to visit this coffee shop since learning of its opening. I got an iced lavender latte and my sister got a nicer latte. We both really enjoyed them. Also got a cinnamon roll...was a little disappointed that it wasn't warmed (served to go so didn't ask to warm up). Waited to have it when I got home and warmed up there. Was good but not great. Would definitely try other bakery items. Really cute book store but could use more searing options. read more

The only good thing about this place are all of the books to read for free. On a scale from 1-10 the staff is extremely disrespectful, and would rate them a 1. I won't elaborate but I did not have a good experience with the girl who works the barista. Very unprofessional and unproductive. If I were at the management level I would defiantly look into hiring out better employees. read more

What an awesome book and coffee shop! Amazing curation of fascinating books and creative gifts. Coffee was outstanding - the best pumpkin spice latte in Dallas. read more

Although the curated book selection may be worth a visit, I do not recommend the coffee shop. My dirty chai was watery and bitter with little chai flavor, and my pastry was both tasteless and stale. read more

Great shop!! So many unique books, I loved the matcha here. Such a fun concept. Only critique I wish there were more chairs rather than bar tops. read more

Such a cute shop and the coffee is so good! Cant wait for them to get actual seating so I can work from there

The cutest gift store! They have the best selection of coffee table books, cookbooks, cards, candles, etc. Will be getting a ton of Xmas presents here. The coffee is also delicious. This is just a great cute little store that's been added to the neighborhood. read more

The coffee is really good! It's a two story book shop but lacks heavily on the books. It's purely coffee table books that you wouldn't even spend a quick glance on. No genre options. I would recommend only for the coffee and photo ops. Book lovers would NOT like the selection. read more

I really wanted to love this place. I love coffee and books so it seemed like the perfect fit. The first problem is when I went, they didn't have a working bathroom. I asked where the nearest bathroom was and she told me a 2 minute drive down to 7-11. After finding time to park in that area, to have to leave and go to the bathroom at 7-11 and then come back to find parking again, no thanks. I wasn't even aware you could be open for business without a working bathroom, apparently so. The other thing to note is this is a coffee table aka picture bookstore. There isn't any fiction and almost everything is heavy on pictures/ art so the books itself don't add to the "read" portion of the store. What also doesn't help is that there are exactly two places to sit in the entire place. A couch and a love seat. And if someone/ a couple is sitting in them, well you have to stand. They have counters to place coffee/ books, but without a comfy place to read, this isn't a "reading" place. It's an aesthetically pleasing store where you can purchase coffee and a coffee table book, but then you must leave because you likely don't have a place to sit and you will eventually want to go to the bathroom from said coffee and will have to drive down to 7-11. My two cents: invest in more seating. Seating for the counters upstairs, small, comfy reading chairs a few places, maybe a bean bag chair for the kids? And please, for the love of all things, get a working bathroom. I just hope we went too early and everyone else has a different experience than we did. read more

New favorite neighborhood coffee shop! Crave it everyday now and love all the beautiful books. The hazelnut syrup is the best!

Cool place . Really hope it makes it. Very cool books for sale. Great coffee bar. Would like to see more stock and more places to sit

Absolutely adorable building with a pleasant and accomodating staff. These baristas know their trade; their espresso was very well dialed in! read more
