Vintage Bookstore and Wine Bar

This place is such an amazing addition to Austin! I fully expected it to be a hollow place for TikTok backgrounds, which it absolutely is not. It feels like a community center in the best way - a place to study, work, shop, grab a coffee, etc. I love that they have a free community box so you can share your old books with others. They have hilarious and relatable "cheese" categorizations for some of their books. The space is breathtaking and feels restorative. I love this spot so much!

What could possibly be bad about wine and books? NOTHING. I tell you, absolutely nothing is wrong here. The atmosphere is welcoming, homey, comfortable - and the staff and patrons alike are happy to engage in conversation about their recommendations and best reads! Oh, if I lived here, I would hang out ALL the time. Moving from room to room of this storied old former house, general store, law office, bar, and probably more, gives you different little alcoves to peruse their selection of both the newest in print, or upstairs you'll find the used and vintage books you remember from your youth (or even before!). Pull up a couch, a chair, a table - try a glass of wine, cider, beer, or a cocktail. I mean - it's just perfect. And while you're there be polite and say hi to Edith, one of their ghosts. It couldn't hurt, could it? I will be back here every time I visit Austin!

Stepping into this multi-floor bookstore in East Downtown Austin feels like being transported straight into a European library. The winding layout leads you through cozy little rooms, each one with its own personality—colorful walls, quirky furniture, and tucked-away nooks that make you want to curl up with a good book for hours. 🌿 It’s not just a place to browse shelves—it’s a space to be. You’ll find students and creatives here with laptops open, quietly working, while others get lost in a novel. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance: lively enough to feel inspiring, yet calm enough to stay focused. Whether you’re on a solo adventure, looking for a study spot, or just craving that timeless bookstore charm, this hidden gem offers a magical escape right in the middle of Austin. Bring a coffee, bring your laptop, bring a book—you’ll never want to leave. ☕💻📖✨

Full of charm, detail, and quietness. Enjoyed the ambiance and books. New books, vintage books, rare books, and signed books. Definitely recommend! Thanks Cat for being awesome and knowledgeable!

A lovely stop any time of the day. They have cafe drinks, non alcoholic and wine options. First story is new books and the second is used. Love this concept and loved going in real life!

What a beautiful place. Each room is so nice and peaceful. The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. Our book club came for a field trip and loved it.
