Coffee, tea, wine, drinks ... and a remarkable collection of books. They even have a poetry section! The back yard often hosts music and readings. A must-see for literary folks!

It’s coffee shop meets bar meets bookstore. Be sure to check their calendar because they often hosts local artists and storytellers on their outdoor patio.

A bookstore, coffee shop, and bar all in one. Really fits the classification of a neighborhood "living room." Great for a date night or just a fun hangout with friends, there is often live music, poetry nights, etc.

Which would you rather have? Booze or Books? At The Wild Detectives you never have to make that choice. Our neighborhood favorite has books, booze, coffee, wine, & music. Artisan cheese plates & paninis. Record albums and author signings. This renovated house has a romantic backyard & cozy living room seating.
