    Booked a room and used it for a casual work meeting through Hazel Valdez. Everything went off without a hitch and my team loved their coffee and even got some time for a little shopping! Wifi also worked out really well, and the room was well kept. I wasn't sure if this was a thing but I had peeped the space and saw their rooms in the back. I simply asked (emailed the address listed on their site) and they worked with me to book a room/time at the exact date I wanted. Thanks to Hazel and team for the space and coffees! Would definitely return.

    This place was absolutely charming. I walked in and instantly felt at peace. Plus the way this bookstore is built around community is really special. I will be a regular from here on out.

    Excellent selection. Beautiful design. Comfortable seating for both the café and just sitting to work or read what you've browsed. It's excellent.
