Lovely atmosphere and great drinks, but if I could give the service 10 stars, I would. I wish I could remember the name of the person who took my order. He asked me what kind of books I like, and in between taking orders for customers, came to my table with three books he enjoyed, described them in detail, and left them with me so I could decide if I wanted to buy any of them. I did end up buying one (Monk and Robot by Becky Chambers), and he was right, it is a perfect fit for me. I'll go back just for the book match-making service.

I was gifted a gift card to come here because who doesnt love reading & drinking? Its lovely in here. Very modern vibes, cute bar and yummy drinks! The employees working- Mary Kate & Dominic were so fun and they really make everyone feel welcome and part of the family. I'm so glad we came here, we will definitely be back! Its such a fun vibe.

Drinking wine in a bookstore makes day drinking much more appealing. This is a great stop just off Central avenue. We stopped to cool off after walking and shopping. Both the books and wine were pricey but worth it. They also serve coffee and tea.

This place is lovely with such a great variety of books to select from! Their wines are reasonably priced, and it’s one of the cutest places in St Pete to have a glass of wine with your friends. Dominic is very knowledgeable of the books in the shop and is so fun to talk to about books and authors! I can’t recommend this place enough!

How many places can you go in Saint Pete where the baristas also are avid readers who can recommend and talk about books? Very small place where you can sit at the bar and get a coffee or glass of wine, plus a handful of tables both inside and out. I think a true measure of a service establishment is its employees, and at book and bottle, they are five stars — friendly, welcoming, and sweet. Was there last week for a cup of coffee and was interested in a book but not sure I would like it. An employer overheard me asking a coworker about it, and she proceeded to tell me what a great book it was, at which point I bought it and thenmade a recommendation of one to her. Only wish Is that this place had more seating and was a little quieter inside when crowded, but then again, you never know how an expansion of space might affect the vibe. So I am just grateful for what they offer.

Amazing little book stop on our book crawl through Tampa! The staff was excellent. They were kind and informative and provided excellent service when helping us choose. While our tea was brewing we were able to check out their little store front by the bar, they have some cute book merch ranging from blind book boxes, stickers and more. While their book selection is on the smaller side it definitely has a little something for everyone. We 100% will be visiting when we return!

Sooo cute!!! I don’t know what took me so long to get here. This place is so adorable. It’s so cozy, cute the staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly. There are amazing books everywhere. I just love that there is a book store with coffee and wine. They had a fun event going on as well. I can’t wait to spend my days working with coffee and books.

This is my favorite independent book and wine store ever! So warm and welcoming - even the patrons were visiting and sharing recommendations with each other. Dominic was amazing! He asked thoughtful questions to understand what my interests were then helped me find Sauvignon Blancs and some excellent books to add to my list. Best experience and a must for anyone working their way through the independent bookstores of Tampa/St. Pete!

Love this place! I’ve been here a couple times now. The book selection is small but curated well, and the drink menu is diverse: coffee, wine, cocktails, etc. The employees are super friendly. This is also a great place to buy gifts.

The best vibes!!! Warm and friendly staff, awesome selection of books, cutie merch, and excellent bar with coffees, teas, and wines. We stopped in during a Florida summertime storm and had a great experience waiting out the rain. We didn’t want to leave! They host a tremendous calendar of events; really different stuff. The staff seriously made me feel so welcome. And the local library was even setting up a table as we were leaving! You can tell they’re super involved in the community. Highly encourage a visit!
