Great food and great coffee. My wife and I had a great, chill date night. Would recommend for a relaxing sit by the fire with a good cup of coffee.

It's a great bookstore with a nice cafe in the middle. Lots of books at various price points. I like that they have a used section. They service is friendly and helpful.

I ordered an item as a Christmas gift. It was out of stock - a very common occurrence at Schuler Books. I was told to expect a phone call when it arrived. Never heard from the store. I call. It had arrived 12 days earlier. As I could not get to the store before Christmas, I asked for a refund and was placed on hold. After, probably a consultation with the manager (come on, a clerk can't handle this), I was told the item was not refundable. Keep it, I said and disputed, and won, with the credit card company. What pisses me off, is for over two decades I have bought books from Shuler's at a sometimes 50% higher cost than at the large chains and Amazon. You know, to support a local merchant. Two other Shuler locations in Grand Rapids shuttered. With service like this for a loyal customer, a third is on the horizon. Going forward, I will not be a patron of your store.

It's a peaceful cafe with a bookstore, but the glass of the iced latte they gave me left someone else's lipstick.

Best cheesecake I've ever had IN MY LIFE! It was the raspberry white chocolate Oreo. Delicious! Everything else was great, too.
A bit expensive and the food counter can be slow when they are busy.

Good place for a meeting. Roomy and open space. Not crowded so feels like a private place even when it gets busy. Nice variety of food on the menu for whatever time of day you come.

Chapbook Cafe is a lovely oasis in the Schuyler Books store. We enjoy hanging out with friends or simply having a quiet place to read. The food was very good today. The help seemed overtired and harried. If you want to have a great place to mingle with friends, try them out.

Great book store with a huge selection but yet still operates with a local bookstore feel.

Walked over from a nearby car shop to grab breakfast and get some work done. The menu is pretty simple and I went with a ham, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel and an orange juice. The staff was very friendly and my sandwich was ready within 5 minutes. The sandwich was pretty good and the bagel seemed fresh, although somewhat small. The dining area is definitely dated and I couldn't find a table near an outlet, which was a bummer. The tables were all clean though and they quickly cleared my dirty dishes to allow me to work with more room. Overall, great bookstore with a nice cafe. Definitely hasn't been updated in a long time but it's not a huge deal. Friendly staff around every corner!
