She even gave us good input for what to order since it was our first time in there and she had so much patience as well. I ordered a vanilla matcha and matcha isn't something I enjoyed my first time trying it however, it was just the perfect amount of sweetness and didn't taste too grassy like other places. My boyfriend ordered a mocha iced coffee and cinnamon bun, usually he gets cream and sugar as well however she kindly informed us that the syrups itself was sweet enough and he didn't need it to which she was absolutely right. The cinnamon bun was delicious as well :))) This place was so cozy and cute, definitely would recommend if you're looking for a small place to enjoy good coffee and pastries. I don't know what it was but the coffee here was just perfect! I'm glad I found this place and I surely will be returning next time I'm in the area. They had lots of good books and vintage stuff as well. 5/5 most def!

I picked out two hardcovers novels but did not use the sitting area to read. To my surprise there was a holiday special and my total cost was $5. Unbelievable for books with no signs of wear or tear. I overheard the two female employees discussing an author with a customer who was paying for her books. I imagine the employees are helpful with any literary questions you may have. I will definitely return.

It is a rare day that I don't find something to purchase when visiting - proof positive that their book turnover is moving at a decent pace, IMHO. Prices are very reasonable, especially when knowing that proceeds benefit the county library system. Whitney Book Corner sells all types of books for all ages, including recent best sellers and authors you've likely heard of or read other works by. I have also found MANY non-fiction books for myself and loved ones over the years, including a variety of cook books and specialty gardening and crafting books. There is also a small section of "local" books about the area and plenty of poetry and classic reads, too. They have a lovely back room full of children's books and the creative minds in the store have done a great job displaying books celebrating different holidays and hot topics throughout the seasons. The staff also often wraps 2 or 3 books on a matching topic together or add notes of recommendation to their own favorite reads, which I find incredibly charming.

The prices are always fair and the staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend Yellow Lab for a unique and fun shopping experience!

The owner is English and her business is an extension of her lovely personality. I have childhood memories of this place that could have come straight out of a magical fairytale book. There are many categories here; a large history section, gardening, art, film, geography, mythology, crafts, so many categories and subcategories, and because they are curated by someone passionate with books there are no filler books here. The prices are unbelievably reasonable, this is a curated collection by a woman passionate about books, making a living off of it feels secondary here to the passion of finding the books. You will not ever find another place like this. In a small rural town no less! This is a destination place if you are visiting the area. Such a gem!
