Cute bookstore with a coffee shop in wicker park. The shop has tables set up making it quite and easy place to work and get stuff done. I had the shades of oak and honey latte and it was delicious! There is a kids area with kids books and an area for them to sit as well.

Love this cute cafe! Great space with a great vibe and decor, lots of seating. Just ordered a matcha latte, I forgot to ask for no sweetener but otherwise it was great. I didn't get to check out the bookstore but I love the concept.

Such a cute bookstore and cafe! The toddler/kids section was nice as well and they had posters for story time. Great way to spend some time here!

What a beautiful bookstore! The atmosphere is so calming, beautiful and relaxing and it's in such a great location on Milwaukee. It gave me 'shop around the corner' vibes and felt very welcoming and had a great sense of community. We grabbed some coffees, perused some books, and were able to grab a board game to play while we sat in their little seating area enjoying our coffees. The inventory is smaller but it's hard not to find something that would interest you. They have story times on Tuesdays and Saturdays for the little ones which was so cute.

Cute bookshop/cafe! Loved the coffee and the staff! The ambience is quite nice - the fact that you have books all around is a major plus!

Came across this coffee shop and it is so cute and unique!! It is both a book store and a coffee shop. There is a variety of seating and seemed like a great place to do work since it was quiet. Lots of cute decor that fit the aesthetic. They also have board games which is fun. And the coffee was SO good. I got a hazelnut mocha (can't remember what the actual name of the drink was) and it was delicious. 10/10!!

I've been eyeing up this adorable bookstore for MONTHS and finally caught it during open hours! This place is so welcoming. From its tall ceilings to its little coffeeshop to its abundant chairs, this is the kind of local bookstore I love. I loved all the recommendations on books around the store and plan to be back soon!

Had a great time perusing the wonderful selection of good reads at Volumes! Friendly and helpful staff

I love the vibes and the cozy setup in this cafe. They have couches, tables, and comfy chairs and free wifi. Such a unique concept and inviting place to work. I would recommend anyone come here before considering elsewhere!

Super cool bookstore and cafe! They have a wide selection and a great staff that is always willing to happen. I didn't get a chance to grab any food or drinks from the cafe, but I will definitely try it out when I'm in the area.

As a lover of books, discovering new book stores are my new rage. Walked past it in Wicker Park and had to enter. It was like a little library, cozy couches, and a cafe. They had clearance books and a pretty decent selection I thought. Loved the paper notes with recommendations. Can't wait to return!

Such a cute place with so much to offer. The iced chai with almond milk is a nice side to a good read.

Sandmeyer's Bookstore is a gem! Everyone who works there is so friendly and it makes for a great…read moreatmosphere. It feels really cozy inside and I could spend an hour or so perusing the book selection. They also have a nice variety of bookish gifts and cards. The best part is the sale corner in the back where you can find books of all kinds marked down to really reasonable prices. I'll always stop at Sandmeyer's when I'm in the area!

What a gorgeous location to have a bookstore! Sandmeyer's Bookstore sits in Printer's Row and is a…read morevery lit and airy environment. The selection is not too bad, considering they are recovering from a flood. There are so many titles and a vast array of topics available. I found some classics, fiction, a wonderful selection in their non-fiction area, and translated books. They also provide you with lists of books that have won prizes or coincide with different regions in the USA and the world! I thought that was very helpful. It's a medium-sized store, but their displays are quite prominent. Everything is easy to grab (no ladders or staff needed to get to the high books). All the areas are labeled and it's visually pleasing. The staff was nice, too. Checkout was easy and they were friendly. Prices are standard of paperbacks and hardcovers. You are paying for an indie bookseller (I paid about $40 for two books, which includes tax). I wasn't at all disappointed with the price. They also have a loyalty program for those that are regulars. I really am happy I checked out this spot. It was beautiful and friendly. There was a lot of books and totes to chose from, it was hard not to leave with more in my bag!
