I appreciate that the young adult/teen section has been moved and expanded from where it previously was, and frankly seems to flow better into the adult fiction area. The beach/margaritaville theming isn't my cup of tea, but IS an easy visual way to see what genre of books is where. The associates at the counter were friendly and helpful in finding a book I was looking for in particular, but not overly pushy about following me all over the store while casually browsing. I have store credit for bringing some used books in previously, and I was glad to see that had rolled over with the new ownership.

I love to read and I love a bargain, this little bookstore inside the Winter Haven library pavilion…read moresatisfies both of those things. There are not too many places in 2015 where you can buy 4 paperbacks for $1 and that offer 2/$1 and 2/$2 on selected hardback books. This bookstore is small, but, it is crammed with lots of books at unbelievable bargains, they do carry some newer books and some collectible books at a bit of a premium over the ones listed above but, most people who read a lot like me should be able to find something they like at an affordable price. If you come to this bookstore bring cash, they don't accept credit cards, also, be patient and make sure you count your change, as the ladies/gentlemen who volunteer to run the shop are seasoned citizens and a few times they have gotten my change incorrect (in my favor) and I had to let them know. The shop is located in a bike/walker friendly area with parking available for vehicles at the library, on the street, a parking lot across the street, and a block down there is a free parking garage. There is also a coffee shop located next door and of course the Winter Haven public library is right across the hall.

If you're looking for a dessert experience that's completely different from the usual ice cream…read moreshop, do yourself a favor and visit Vampire Penguin in downtown Lakeland. We ordered the Nevermoreo and it was absolutely incredible. The dessert starts with Vampire Penguin's signature "snow" -- a unique frozen treat that's neither ice cream nor shaved ice. It's made from a creamy frozen base that's shaved into incredibly thin layers, creating a light, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth texture unlike anything we've had before. The Nevermoreo was loaded with chocolatey goodness, cookies, marshmallows, graham cracker crumble, and rich chocolate drizzle. Every bite tasted like a gourmet campfire s'more with an Oreo twist. It was beautifully presented and even more delicious than it looked. The atmosphere deserves a mention too. The gothic bookstore vibe, moody lighting, vintage décor, and cozy seating make it one of the most unique spots in downtown Lakeland. It's the kind of place where you want to stay awhile and soak it all in. And don't skip the Dirty Sodas! They offer a fun menu of customizable soda creations and specialty combinations that pair perfectly with their desserts. Between the incredible snow desserts, creative drinks, and unforgettable atmosphere, Vampire Penguin has quickly become one of my favorite dessert destinations in Lakeland. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

I had never heard of this place until yesterday when I decided to look up coffee shops in Lakeland…read more The concept of coffee shop meets bookstore drew us in immediately. 30 minutes later, me and my friend were walking in through Vampire Penguin's door. As soon as you walk in, you're met with a dark and moody ambience. The accent wall covered in a beautiful, floral wallpaper, fitted with a fireplace and wooden bookshelves lining the wall with whimsical accents such as candles and vintage books. On the opposite wall, dark wood creating an air of mystery. Upon walking in, the store itself is fairly small. There's one large booth in front of the only window, and maybe 3 or 4 smaller tables. I wouldn't call this a proper bookstore as they only had a couple of floating shelves with books for sale. All smaller, indie authors. Most of them looked to be fantasy/romantasy and there was at least one I saw for kids. There were large bookshelves along the rest of the wall, but those books seemed to be just decorative and not for sale. All looked antique and had a cool vibe to them. Still cool to check out! We went on a Friday around 3 pm and with kids being out of school and this being a shaved ice place, it was in fact packed with families which we didn't take into account. They mainly offer shaved ice; there are several different options you can choose from as well as small or large sizes. We just wanted coffee and they had a few fun options to pick from. I ended up ordering the Custard Eclair which has chocolate syrup, custard, and shortbread. We waited for about 10 minutes for our lattes and a croissant. It seemed there were only 2 workers manning everything between running the register and making the orders. The space got more packed with little room for new customers to line up and the other people waiting trying to make room while an employee ran orders back and forth. We finally got our order and decided to sit outside due to how loud and overstimulating it was inside. They have some outdoor seating in the shade and that's where we spent some time sipping our coffees. The lattes were actually delicious. You could taste a good amount of the espresso they used while still tasting the nice blend of sweetness. Would I go back? Sure, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. Now if I'm in the downtown Lakeland area already and I'm doing a little shopping, a little exploring, I might stop here and grab a cup to go. Like I said, the latte was really solid. I wouldn't recommend getting your laptop and working here, but for a quick stop, I say go for it! Giving this place 3/5 stars
