Lark & Owl Booksellers

"This place is a gem! I come here from Austin to reward myself for achieving difficult things, because it is truly such a joy just to wander through and soak in the vibes, let alone browse the books and lovingly curated, well... everything. It's wheelchair accessible, with one parking spot close by, a ramp at the curb, and a push button at the entrance, though not at the bathrooms yet. (I loved the free menstrual & diaper station.) A staff member held the door for me as I came in and mentioned they do their best to keep aisles clear and accessible, but to please let someone know if anything needed adjustment — that was such a lovely gesture, to see a business being proactive about accessibility AND in inviting feedback in advance. Most other places see accessibility as an afterthought or do the legal bare minimum, then leave it to the person with the disability to figure it all out ourselves. It's a very good sign whenever a person or organization shares in the mental load of disability access work. The whole place just radiates "heartfelt," you can see how deeply the owners care about this place and being welcoming to a wide diversity of readers. I kept missing the café being open, so today was my first day trying it. Pretty spendy (what place isn't, these days?) but some of the drinks were under $4. The lemon poppyseed bundt cake was tangy, sweet, and absolutely delicious! I also enjoyed the egg salad, it seemed to have some kind of chipotle seasoning. The iced tea was better than average, and I liked that the to-go containers were compostable and recyclable. I was also grateful that they have three tables outside in the open-air for those of us who are still high risk and need to keep a mask on in closed spaces. I will say, having some kind of umbrella or shade would help, the white building is very bright in the sunlight."

"Best little book store in the area, wonderful staff, wonderful books and the greatest bistro with amazing food and drinks. The best grilled cheese you'll ever eat! Support local and enjoy a good book and a cup of coffee."

"Great vibes, bookstore and cafe. They have a slightly small yet inclusive and diverse selection. Some very cute spots around the entire store. Looks like they have a great space for kids too. Certainly a nice spot to spend time indoors away from the summer heat and buy books and cute knickknacks."

"My first visit...and I was happily surprised. Such a wonderful bookstore! Great customer service...and they had some great gift items (non book). The bistro inside is the perfect place to enjoy a perfect latte! They also had several good items too for a bite to eat...and an adorable seating area! Looking forward to returning often."

"A very cute and inclusive bookstore that really is great to have in the area. Doesn't have the biggest selection to choose from but they have great quality books with both new and classics to look through. The kid's section was very cozy and our son enjoyed the book nook. Has a spot to chat and enjoy drinks or food and a nice outdoor section as well. Overall a great place just to look around as well as buy great books or gifts."
