One of my favorite places in Greenville. A true indie bookstore with carefully selected and organized sections and a coffee bar with the best cappuccinos and baked goods in town, all in a historic building.

What a delight! This should be a must stop for every traveler. It is beautiful, magnificently stocked with the most fascinating books, and such a friendly space! I adore this bookstore! I have never been here when I didn’t find something wonderful! We had a wonderful night sipping champagne and reading at the long table by the cafe and took home a big sack of treasures. I particularly love their taste in modern quirky romances. I wanted every book there! Show less

Great little bookstore - with a coffee shop. Of course the main reason I came here was I needed a coffee, so let's start there. The coffee menu, to me, is way too heavy on the "coffee desserts." You know, add enough sweet stuff that so it doesn't taste like coffee anymore. The waitstaff were friendly and polite and I asked if they could make me a cortado - which wasn't on the menu. It was excellent. Not too sour, or bitter. It was a little on the small side, so when I came back the next day, or ordered a double:) Oh yea, the bookstore... Great place to browse and hang for a bit. Nice selection of titles. The bookstore seems to have a "college student" slant to it - plenty of social justice. Yet the selection also includes classics and local writers as well. The children's section was also very good. Throw in some giftware, local BBQ sauces and other delicacies and it's a nice place to spend some time. Show less

What a cool bookstore! It possess so much character. And it's filled with the latest books and gifts. There's an onsite Cafe to quench that thirst or hold you over until meal time. There's stairs at the main entrance. Street parking available. It's located close to hotels and garages.

This is an exquisite bookstore with a great selection. The children’s section is vibrant and magical. There is a small, high quality coffee shop with pastries, and fun gift items spread around the store. They also host great author events.

Wonderful bookstore...used to be a bank maybe? Hard to tell...there are a number of re purposed buildings in DT Greenville. Cool vibe either way. I love the book suggestions by the staff...based on those recommendations alone I would have bought 5 books! Helpful staff, but not bothersome at all.... Read more

A must stop on every Greenville visit! Great book selection with variety. Lots of fun bookish accessories. Great kids sections. The coffee is good (though their lattes only come in 12 oz which is a bummer) and they have the best cookies!

Lovely little spot! They had a nice, curated selection of books as well as unique stickers, magnets, keychains and many options for “blind date with a book”. I purchased a signed by Holly Jackson (the author) copy of “Not Quite Dead Yet” and an awesome coffee mug with a quote from one of my favorite writers. We also had coffee- I ordered a Brown Sugar Latte and my husband had an Iced Vanilla Latte. We also tried out some of the gourmet chocolates. The staff was friendly and welcoming. After we left the shop, we chose to sit outside as it was absolutely beautiful out this afternoon. This is a gem of a shop. Added perfectly to an already brilliant day! Show less

Visiting my husband while he’s in town for work training and found this lovely bookshop! M. Judson has the coziest atmosphere - we’ve already been twice because I loved it so much. There are so many books and cute gifts to browse, and the café inside makes it even better. Such a charming spot!
