They have a good collection of books and gifts, including some lesser-known and/or sparsely-available graphic novels (which I loved poring over!). Pleasant staff. Lovely, unobtrusive ambient music (smooth jazz).The textbook section was closed when I visited, but Id love to explore the downstairs section next time.Worth a visit if youre in the area.

A pretty spot with some good company. Great music choice and good drinks.Did not appreciate staff very much- and was confronted about my original review without offering helpful suggestions. Berated for writing review and staying long even when we made serval purchases during our time. I understand it is policy but they are particularly relentless about vaccinations and mask mandates. Be prepared views are thrust in your face upon entering.

This review is for a while back (2021). After that experience, I never came back. I came in the cafe and ordered a salad and coffee plus pastry. Sat down and my book was in my iPad. Device wasn’t allowed on the table. There was very distracting staff who was policing all of us with our gadgets that I couldn’t eat in peace because she was calling out basically every person sitting for our gadgets.I felt bad for one customer who ordered coffee (this was summertime), and sat on one of the empty chairs in the dining area only to be called out by the same staff who’s probably a supervisor saying “That (referring to the drink) does not qualify you to be in the dining area.” Lady left. I just knew I won’t come back. They have good salads. Coffee is typical.

Its a great store but I was asking for Latín American and Spain writers and they didnt have any of them, And I mean One of them has a PhD, And a lot of them are really the best, but yeap you could try to expand your horizons and do better with more writers not Just American...

I’m only giving this four stars because they didn’t have the book I was looking for. But the shop is a typical bookstore, staff was friendly and offered to order the book for me. If you’re looking for a best seller or a newly released book this is your spot.

I spent $45 but they would not let my kids use the bathroom, which was obviously operational as I saw an associate use it. Another business still using COVID as an excuse to remove bathroom service for their costumers. This in March 2022 when we are finally seing the end of the COVID emergency and even indoor masks mandates have been lifted. I live in the area but will buy my coffee and my books elsewhere.

Amazing selection of books with a coffee shop & indoor seating. Staff is very friendly as well!

This is the sweetest, loveliest, most helpful bookstore ever. We spent a couple of hours here just browsing and enjoying before we made our selections. It is chock-full of delicious titles, nooks and crannies to sit in and a very very helpful staff. Plus they ooohed and ahhhed over my precious new granddaughter - which of course earned lots and lots of bonus points. Anyways if you are looking for a simply wonderful place to catch your next best read, definitely go to Shakespeare & Co. They are the best!

Food and ambiance is average for similar restaurants in the area. However, the service at the bar was great thanks to the friendly bartender who elevated the experience significantly

A delightful break from every day. A calm place to check out books, have a coffee, and find peace.
