Books On First,

202 W 1st St, Dixon, IL 61021, United States

"I love books!!! Such an amazing small business that I’ve been so blessed to grow up with! Great coffee, books, and environment!"

"This is my go to coffee place!! I go there almost everyday. The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly :) All the employees I have interacted with have been fantastic, as well as the owner. 10/10 would recommend! Just such a great establishment for discovering new books, trying a new flavor of coffee, or just to sit and relax in the store. Thank you Books on First "

"I love to go there to sit down and edit with my laptop and I always buy a coffee when I go. Every single time I the owner is always so rude to me for no reason and it seems to bother her that I sit down at the table in the back to work. She’ll always walk by me and give me dirty looks and I usually just ignore her remarks. But today she came up to me while I was sitting down with my headphones on and my laptop just minding my business and she grabs my wallet, glasses, and coffee and MOVES them. She said I am taking up too much space. I asked her to please not touch my things and i put them back where I set them. I was so shocked and taken back lmao. I’m sitting here still typing this completely bewildered. How as a business owner are you going to go up to a paying customer and put your hands on their property? Insane. The young barista that works there is always super sweet to me and even apologized for the owners behavior towards me in the past!"

"I love shopping at books on first! I can always stop in or call if there’s a book I’m interested in. I always find a couple of Christmas gifts here every year. Staff is always helpful and the coffee is great. I highly recommend you to stop by and support this small business."

"Cute, cozy bookstore. Very clean and the staff is very nice. I also had an iced vanilla chai latte……..so good!!"
