The space is full off old books and records to search through. The coffee is fresh and the Bagels were fantastic. The lady working was helpful and friendly. The overall atmosphere was comfortable, a place you want to spend a few hours with friends or alone just relaxing. The mugs for dine in were amazing and unique. Will definitely be going more often!!

Cozy neighborhood spot with fresh coffee, real food and vintage books you didn't know you needed. Staff is friendly, welcoming and add to the atmosphere. Large enough that you can find a quiet place to sit if you need one, even if it's busy.

This is an adorable book cafe with plenty of shelves of books, seating at hightops, tabletops, and even a booth. There are more books and more seating available in the back as well. A counter for ordering a bite and/or drink. Healthy vegan options. I had a veggie hummus sandwich with banana peppers and red bell peppers on multi grain bread with avocado slices because I love avocado! Danny’s salad had too many onions but looked delicious. D had a Tempe sandwich that looked pretty tasty too. Oh, the peanut butter cookies…yummy!

Out of towner here but it's a great place to chill and grab a bite to eat. A bit light on books but I don't think that's entirely their focus.

Customer service is lacking here. There was only one staff member on a Saturday and only a handful of customers. It took us 30 min to get a chai and a $7 watered down smoothie. When we got our drinks, our turkey sandwich wasn't even made yet.

Iris Bookcafe is a lovely little spot. I got a decaf americano for a simple afternoon treat and found a quiet table in the back to sit and enjoy it. I loved the unique mug it was served in. There are interesting used books for sale to peruse while you grab a drink or a bite to eat. I imagine the patio is a really nice area to sit during warmer months, too. I hope I can go back soon.

Plenty of menu options; drinks are maybe 7 out of 10. Cool concept ? and comfortable environment in a cool, convenient part of town.

Hung up on me twice and answered the phone the second time like prank phone call. Waste of time contacting this establishment.

I had the most delicious turkey deli sandwich!I forgot how adorable this place is. So pleasant inside. Nice outside patio.Many vegetarian and vegan options as well.Quality, healthy food. Refreshing change.

Delicious cold brew, good atmosphere, and friendly service. Facilities were clean, and the space was diverse for a variety of intentions. I wish the book selection was a little more curated, but it's perfect for the book thrifter! Will be returning in the future.

Great used book store; be patient and you'll find a few absolute "steals".
