A curated bookshop and café on Wickenden Street. Literary fiction, poetry, cookbooks, design titles, and the occasional risk. Eighty events a year. Strong coffee. A dog under the chair if you're lucky.
Eight thousand titles, hand-selected. Strongest in literary fiction, poetry, cookbooks, design, and translated work. We don't shelve by bestseller list. We shelve by what we'd hand a friend.
Single-origin espresso from a Providence roaster. Drip, slow drip, cortados, hot chocolate from a Vermont chocolatier, a single scone of the day baked at sunrise. Two tables, four chairs, no laptops after 4pm.
Eighty events a year — readings, book clubs, poetry nights, kids' storytimes, and the occasional release party with the lights low. Wine after 6pm. RSVPs encouraged but never required.
Two new staff picks · one event we'd love to see you at · one short essay about something we're reading. No pop-ups, no tracking, no algorithm. Just a real letter.
