Bookstore, coffeeshop, and gift shop all in one. In what looks like a refurbished home. Every room was uniquely designed. I loved the the wallpaper in the coffeeshop room. Great store to peruse for treating yourself or for gift giving. And a bookstore with a pretty good size collection and categoriesfor it not to be a library or chain store. I was pleasantly surprised to see a black history month display of book, how inclusive. They also had a kids corner area. And there was what looked like a book club group chit chatting in the back. Lots of little nooks and space both inside and out. If I lived in this town I could easily see myself making this one of my fav places.

As an alumni, when I happened to pass through San Marcos every three years or so I like to stop by and see if there is anything I would like to purchase. Many of the items are just plain ugly.

I can't believe someone like Tammy would give the place a 1 star they are just so amazing!
