    Menu is huge! Will have to come back & try the salads

    Super cute place for lunch & coffee! Staff were friendly & food came out quick :) Definitely will be back when I'm in the area!

    First time eating here and The food here is so delicious! I ordered the John piper sandwich with no mustard. It was nicely prepared and it came with a side of ur choice. The cashier had patience with us ,the service there was just amazing. 10/10 would recommend. I basically vacuumed my sandwich but here's a pic of the drinks me and my bf got and a cookie

    Nice comfy chairs and a fire

    The Mary Shelley is good. But I asked for a side of pickles and they charged 6.00 dollars. Kinda ridiculous for a few pickles.

    This place makes great coffee! I always get an iced americano and they do not disappoint. My kiddos love their Italian sodas.

    Love this little place, lots of history and such a sweet owner. Only suggestion is to ease up a bit…read moreon the incense in the store. I feel like it might chase customers off if they were sensitive to fragrances. Tons of different categories of books used, rare and comics.

    Churchill's Booklovers Haunt is just the kind of place I love and my kids get annoyed about. I get…read moreit. When I'm set loose into a good bookstore, I tend to wander. 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.

    What a great local business…read more -Great selection -Amazing costumer service -Great place to find your next great read (or trade in your last) -I love the smell and feel of a real book and this place has a crazy large selection - Nice selection and the variety on offer let me leave store with something for not just myself, but my daughter -reminds me of when Id get a coffee and walk around Barns-N-Noble hunting for my next Great read -The owner helped me track down a cupple of older out of print books.

    Where some bookstores feel like you wandered into someone's basement - eclectic, dusty, and a bit…read moredisorganized - walking into Encore Books feels more like a library: clean, orderly, and well-stocked. 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.
