Little Switzerland Books & Beans

Sara Beth Wade

One of the best bookstores I've been to in a while! I can't say the selection is super curated - there is some fun stuff but a lot of old books too. But I loved that there are lots of places to sit and read or hang out with your coffee. All that to say that this is a place where you really need to comb through for treasure. Newer books can be found up front and there are gifts and Christmas stuff for sale as well - lots of compasses and globes, hot air balloons and more. Don't miss the art gallery upstairs and make sure to get a coffee and pastry! This is a great find for the area.
