Such a cozy staple on Main Street! The owners and staff are all super friendly. It’s a great spot to pop into real quick or to grab a drink and stay a while. Plus - live music on Saturdays!

What a wonderful little place! Really good selection, obviously carefully curated. The staff is very friendly, and I love the idea of a pub upstairs! I’m telling everyone I know about this and I’m going to become a regular!

Love love love this absolutely adorable bookshop that is part of the OEC community. I grew up in the area and am thrilled Matt and Alison opened their shop here—they also recently opened a cute bar upstairs called Bibliopub that makes me want to become a permanent resident. And Chomsky bookshop dog just had my heart from day one.

High-end book store in my opinion. No complaints though. Friendly staff and some interesting titles. Cool art for sale.

This place is literally the most beautiful bookstore I've ever seen. The tables are beautifully set, the atmosphere is so comforting and cozy, the decoration is book related, and the staff are the sweetest people ever 🫶 10/10 experience. Will definitely be coming back here

Amazing local bar with books! Great atmosphere and lovely owners. Ask for "Chomsky" the dog. Beautiful artwork on the walls by local art hero Wiley Purkey

Amazing local bookstore in OEC. Recently opened a bar upstairs with an extremely welcoming environment. Always see people up there enjoying themselves along with the owner being friendly towards guests.
