“Community. Curiosity. Coffee. ”
What’s the story of your bookstore’s origin?
We opened our shop in August 2023 in the old Hyde Park post office. It was a beloved space to this neighborhood. So when we saw that the building was empty, we knew we'd found a home for the bookshop and all-day cafe we imagined.
What makes your bookstore special?
Our neighborhood. Come by on a Friday morning and you'll see a packed courtyard and a full shop. It's incredible. And it's all about community.
