Our cafe has been whipping up some new specials you don’t wanna miss! ☕️ First is a cinnamon toast cereal milk latte: served hot or iced. It’s made with oat milk and is gluten free! The second is an orange creamsicle Italian soda: orange vanilla syrup with sparkling water and a touch of half-half (or your choice of dairy). 🤤 Get ‘em while you can!

Hello book lovers! Remember our post from a few weeks back about some sweet kitties lookin’ for forever homes? This lil’ lady is still looking for a family! She is between 1-2 years old & has been fixed (still recovering). Super sweet, a wee bit skittish. If you’re interested, send a message our way. Even just sharing this post goes along way, if you can! ^ェ^

Hello, friends ☺︎︎ We wanted to take a minute away from our usual book content to ask for your help!

One of our bookminers has some sweet kittens (and mama kitty) looking for good homes! They all have been given their first round of vaccines and we will get their boosters very soon. We’ve been working on socializing them daily and they are doing really well! Mama is very sweet and seems like she might have been someone’s pet at some point; she is young (maybe a 1-2 years?) and very soft and friendly. If anyone is interested in adopting or has any questions please send us a message! Any shares of this post would be much appreciated as well ♡︎♡︎
