This is my new favorite spot in Appomattox. Cozy leather couches, the smell of books and coffee, creaky hardwood stairs... SUCH an incredible atmosphere. I got the iced Campfire Cold Brew, which was delicious. The staff was friendly. And they have open mic on Thursday nights. I'm going back with my sister this week to check that out. In love with this place! read more

A blast from my college past. Great music on open mic night delicious treats. Lovely staff.

Exploring the town after visiting Appomattox Court House, needed some coffee. This shop is absolutely charming. Walking in the smell of fresh coffee and books welcome you in. Explored the shelves. Ordering the special coffee if the day. Good quality coffee and books in this shop. read more

The people are very nice, the service is OK, the food was well, for me anyway just below average. Not much to say, as there may be few choices in this small town, and the book store looks like the mail deal. The staff seemed very uninterested in the food or food choices. So, for a book and a drink this might be good, for entertainment - it looks like they have live music sometimes, it might be the place to be. For me I would make another choice. read more

This is what The Whitehart used to be like before...the darkness came. Friendly staff. Chill. Comfortable. They served lavender coffee on this particular day and I saw pottery and presidential candidate paper dolls. And books. And uneven wooden floors. There were antique stores next door. I was happy. read more

Books and coffee are two of my favorite things so I love this bookstore coffee shop combo right from the start. My daughter and I had iced caramel lattes which went down really easy on this 96 degree day! The book selection was a quirky mix of new and used and my husband found an old edition of a childhood favorite. It looks like they had a little stage set up for musical performances, and the place had a nice local meeting place vibe. I definitely recommend stopping here if you visit the Appomattox site and go into the charming little town afterwards. read more

Baine's Books and Coffee - Great little place - Bookstores Near Me - Appomattox, Virginia

Hit or miss bookstore/cafe. The employees are more used to texting than talking to people. Asked questions about certain menu items and met with blank stares. Asked if they had a certain book and was told they don't have an inventory system. Live acoustic nights Pre-CoVid. read more

Stopped off while working nearby. Great wifi, delicious made to order drinks and one of the best hot paninis I have ever eaten. Wonderful wait staff made this a great stop. Inside a cute book store makes this a great place for a snack or a meal in Appomattox. read more

Stopped in for a coffee and scone. The coffee was great. The scone was fresh and tasty. There is a good selection of used books to peruse. My only criticism would be the strange smell of the place. Kinda like a hamster cage or something. read more

I Love this place. Today I brought my almost 14 month old in. they have a spot in the back she and walk/crawl around. They have books she can look at and I can read her. It's quite up front and I know sometimes she is not. So it's nice they have a spot and I come have coffee and let her get out. read more

Called and asked if a book was in inventory. Was told they don't have a list of what is in stock???? Asked about a couple of the menu items and was met with the same dumfounded responses. I can see why a small town that has never had a coffee shop/cafe/bookstore may find this fanatstic...but it would be out of business in 2 blinks in a major city. No thanks. read more

So happy we discovered this shop! Uses books and VINYL!!! Food is wonderful. I can highly recommended the sausage quiche and chocolate cake. read more

A hidden gem of Appomattox downtown area! Loved their ice chai tea and chicken pesto panini. My BF loved their apple pie and commented that "it was the closest to his mom's apple pie" so we ordered one the previous night and one to go the second morning! The strawberry pie was pretty good as well. Really loved the ambience of the bookstore/cafe. Make sure you check out the second floor! read more

Very cool bookstore for a small town. Great coffee and smoothies ... they have food but I have never eaten here They have live music Thursday (open mike) and most Friday and Saturday nights from 7 to 930 ... but check their calendar. Lucian Reed - Appomattox read more

Awesome iced mocha. Basically addictive. The chicken pot pie was awesome too. Only bad thing is they aren't next to my house in Alabama. I recommend it if you like coffee but book selection isn't fabulous. read more

Baine's Books and Coffee - Chicken pot pie and iced mocha - Bookstores Near Me - Appomattox, Virginia

Books and coffee!!! Need I say more? Friendly service and cozy atmosphere! Love it!! And my boys love their hot chocolate!

Baine's Books and Coffee is a wonderful place to get a really good cup of coffee, and spend a nice quiet time browsing used books, reading the paper, having a snack or a meal, all in a no-stress environment. For those who like acoustic music, Baine's has music nights, and usually serve a home-cooked dinner. A great place to go, especially if you like really fine coffee. read more

Baines is about perfect. Located in a historic building in the heart of downtown Appomattox, Baines offers a decent selection of used books, new CDs, coffee and a comfortable sitting area. Several nights a week it features live old time and bluegrass. read more

What a terrific place to sip on a great cup of coffee, peruse an eclectic selection of used and new books, and enjoy live music! This place has so many of my favorite things shoved into one building. Plus, the staff is very nice and helpful. read more

A very charming and quaint bookstore with a wonderful atmosphere. Great new and used books, plus the best coffee in town!

I hate to give this place less than 4 stars as everyone really seems to enjoy it. First of all, we came in on a Saturday afternoon and I would venture to say that might be one of the more popular times for eating. They were out of rice which 2 out of the 4 of us that went were trying to order wraps with rice. Not a huge deal but kind of odd. Then I ordered a Greek salad and upon mixing the dressing in, I found a pretty big piece of plastic bag in the salad. Not cool! I also tried to order an iced chai and they were out of chia. My husbands flat white was good. Maybe today was an off day? I'd probably go back for a pastry and coffee if I was in the area. Cute atmosphere and nice book selection. read more

A great place hidden in a town with little to no food options. Great sandwiches quiches coffee and more.

Baines has wonderful coffee and Italian sodas as well as a great eclectic atmosphere. The smell was divine and staff was very gracious.

This place really nails the locally-owned bookstore and cafe vibe, making it an unexpected gem in the middle of Appomattox. I love browsing here and their baked goods make for one of the better lunches in town. If you're in Appomattox and need a cup of coffee, a moment to relax, some classic literature, or a book of local history, this is the place! read more

A nice little community book store/coffee shop. Friendly staff and good coffee. A very nice community style relaxed environment for drinking your coffee and people watching some of the locals. read more

Love it! Great homey feel inside and the best praline latte I've ever had. The foam on this latte was perfect. I just wish I lived closer. read more

Great place to work, read, eat, drink and hang out. Eclectic and comfortable with local artists and musicians who have real talent. The owner will remind you of Grizzly Adams with his beared look and sweet demeanor. read more

phenomenal coffee it was quick and good. I highly recommend there Irish cream frozen coffee

Nice atmosphere and friendly people working there. The book selection is great and it has a real nice feel about it, outside the corporate box, a place you could relax in. Wasn't impressed with the coffee but I'm a coffee snob from the Pacific Northwest, however I would give them another try on the coffee. Overall a place I would go to again if I was in the area. read more

Baines is just about the best thing in Appomattox as far as I'm concerned. I love going to browse books, and when I get the chance I go on weekend evenings to listen to great live music. They have yummy homemade food, great scones, delicious pies, awesome quiche, and let's not forget the delicious coffee in many varieties. I'd venture to say their concoctions are every bit as good if not better than Starbucks. I love that you can buy used books and when you're finished reading them, they give store credit towards future purchases when you return them. What could be better for an avid reader who doesn't want to hoard more books! I don't have anything bad to say about Baines. They are a friendly, family owned business that has wonderful customer service and great music, books and food. Try it, you'll love Baine's. read more

I had a really good slice of tomato/squash quiche. Perfect for lunch. Tasted homemade

And adorable folky alternative taste of downtown Appomattox. Looks like a great place to hang out and listen to music. I had a delicious Vente iced Americano that probably saved my life. It's at least 40 miles from the nearest Starbucks. I have been passing by Appomattox limping from the Starbucks in Richmond to Starbucks in Lynchburg for over 10 years. Hallelujah I now have Appomattox to get my coffee fix. You are going to love this place. read more

I love going in Baine's for the atmosphere, the food, and the music. A great selection of books, food, and a comfortable place to sit. Fun concerts. read more
