Happy Hours every Thursday and Friday afternoon from 3 – 7 p.m.

History

Established in 2001.

We started out hoping to be a Bookstore and Coffee Shop about a week after the 911 attacks. It was a bad time to start a business, but the town was enthiusiastic about our little shop and we were off and running.

After a time, we discovered that we were going to sell more food than anything else, from our soups to our special sandwiches like Grilled Chicken Salad or Pimiento Cheese to our famous milkshakes, which were featured in Birmingham Magazine’s 100 Best in Birmingham issue.

We have wine by the bottle to go, and hold monthly wine tastings, and we have music and poetry slams often and a we host a Trivia Contest with a cash prize every month.
