And wander I did in Churchill's, through shelf after shelf of fiction, non fiction, vintage titles. I eventually left with a paperback I'd never heard of, a first edition of one of my old favorites, and a cool 1980 comic book that just struck my fancy. But more than the things I bought, what I really found in the meandering shelves of this little bookshop was the sense that there could be some treasure waiting for me around the next corner. In this little space filled with books of all kinds, Churchill's captures the feeling of discovery that all good bookstores have and online bookstores just can't replicate. My kids weren't with me this time, but I could hear them as I wrapped up my visit to Churchill's bookshop. "Come ON Dad, let's goooo already." I had to smile. I can always tell it's a great bookstore when I can hear my kids telling me I've spent too long wandering its shelves.

It doesn't take long to figure out where things go in Encore Books. Pocket-sized paperbacks fill the shelves in the middle of the store, while larger paperbacks and hardcovers are placed around the edges. Sections are clearly defined and well-alphabetized, making it easy to see if they have something you're looking for. If you're having trouble finding something, the staff I spoke to was friendly and helpful - they'll set you right with a smile. With both used and new books on the shelves, the prices are quite reasonable. Their "blind date with a book" feature is a fun addition and a great way to encourage trying new books. While I often prefer a bookstore that encourages exploration and comes with a little mystery, a place like Encore Books is perfect when you're looking for that one book you can't seem to find anywhere else. They care about what they're doing, and it shows.

Love, love, love The Bookery! The atmosphere is welcoming, they have some lovely small gifts/home decor and I can't forget about the books & the cute kid's table either. I live out of town, but came across it last year while I was serving jury duty in Ephrata...I ended up eating there 7 of the 8 days I was in town! Their sandwiches are amazing (the Poe panini is my fav) and their coffee is delicious (love the daily specials). read more

Love to go to the Bookery at least once a week. They have great sandwiches, salads and ice cream. The food always fills me and sometimes I have to take some home. Great little gifts to in case you need a last minute something for someone. The menu is reasonably priced. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. It is a very popular spot during lunch sometimes, but well worth the wait. read more

It's right off the highway and offers a great selection of coffee, breakfast items, sandwiches, pastries, and other sweet drinks. Everything I ate was very delicious and really hit the stop in preparation for long days outside hiking and camping. Both mornings I ate the breakfast burrito with sausage. Very well prepared and filling, with some very yummy salsa on the side. I also tried two of their muffins, both were fantastic and came with optional icing. Very tasty sweet treat. Their coffee is also great! I had an iced latte one morning and a hot latte the next morning. Both were great. The workers inside were super friendly and welcoming. It's clearly popular with locals, as there were lines inside and at the drive thru. But service was very fast! The vibes inside were nice and cozy. Right off the highway so it's an easy stop, and it's attached to a gas station making it very convenient. I will definitely come back here next time I'm in the Coulee City area.

We didn't mind waiting since we know some drinks take longer to make, but when we finally got ours, there was no passion fruit popping at all. On top of that, the drinks tasted nothing like before--no flavor, just really strong green tea with boba. On top of that, the girl who took our order didn't seem happy at all, which made the experience feel even worse. Really sad to have such a bad experience after two great visits.
