The store is very cute and welcoming. It's a small business, so there is a small selection of books to choose from. It looked as if they have events throughout the month. That peaked my interest. I wanted to buy something to support them, but from the selection they currently have, I've didn't find much of what I have already read. They sell cocktails and snacks. I definitely will be following them on Facebook.

I stopped in Chapter Book Lounge after calling to confirm they had children's books, when I needed a quick gift for my nephew's birthday. Not only was I happy to see a well stocked children's section, but they also had books with diverse characters and storylines. I grabbed two books and a card. The employee that helped me was friendly and the space was cozy and welcoming. I hope to return soon and spend more time browsing and enjoying the vibe with a good book and a cocktail.

Went because they had an event on a Sunday. Purchased tickets to check out their special tasting of their fall menu with someone doing permanent jewelry! Sounded so cool. The permanent jewelry person cancelled after the start time, which sucked but oh well. We got to pick 4 drinks to try and then got one full size. To be honest the small drinks were lacking flavor. My full size drink was great but tasted much different than the taster. They had popcorn for us to snack on and we ordered a charcuterie board, which could've used more crackers and for the price it was meh. It's a cute place and plenty of street parking.

This place is a dream come true! Books, coffee, and cocktails? Yes, please! This place is adorable and beautiful inside. There are lots of places to meet friends and have a drink. Unfortunately, my friend and I just came from breakfast before we stopped in, so we did not partake in any beverages. That just means we will be back! There were many on the menu that sounded amazing. On top of their selection of many new books, I bought one for my classroom and one for myself, they also have used books to purchase. Can't wait to come back and indulge in beverages!

This location has been open a little over a year and I cannot believe it has taken me this long to visit. This venue is absolutely stunning with the kindest staff! This is a place where you want to look at every single item because the selection is amazing. They have a good amount of seating and you can select a book to read while you sit and order a drink. I tried one of the espresso + vanilla iced coffees with caramel drizzle and it was truly phenomenal. They host book clubs and have a point system as well. Definitely worth a visit!

If they were hiring and I lived closer, I would apply to work here because I really never wanted to leave! First, the aesthetic of this place just transported me to far away places. The wooden tables of various shapes and sizes, the darker colors of the space, the color pops of books, and selection of additional book related items. This place is dreamy. On top of it all, they offer beverages, sweet treats, AND snacks. What's not to love? My only disappointment is that the space isn't bigger because (and gladly so) it was popular and packed! It was a Saturday and the reader in me felt particularly happy to see a bustling book store. Aside from this, I want to give a special shout out to Taylor who worked behind the bar. Taylor, a local author, spent time making conversation and after finding out I set out to write my own book provided thoughtful and encouraging pointers. It was the motivation I needed that day! Thank you Taylor for making my day! I want to make a point of making the drive back at least once a month because this place just makes my heart sing. That's all.

Chapter Book Lounge is a little slice of heaven tucked in downtown Noblesville. The cozy-chic space combines two of my favorite things: books and cocktails. Their book-themed drinks are so creative, "The Elphaba" even came topped with a bubble for a fun twist! The selection of new and used books makes it easy to find something to take home, and the whole vibe is warm and inviting. The perfect way to spend an afternoon!

What an adorable addition to the old town in Noblesville! It looked so inviting from the outside that we couldn't wait to get inside. Even on a Thursday afternoon, the shop was bustling with activity. The interior is very cozy, with a few comfortable chairs and barstools where customers can sit and chat. The selection of books is wonderful, featuring a mix of popular classics and up-and-coming titles, along with a great variety of used books. The staff was friendly and overly apologetic about some new stock that was taking up table space. We enjoyed a drink while we browsed, and both were delightful. They offer a fantastic range of beverages, not just alcoholic ones. This shop is well worth a trip to Noblesville!

This place is adorable! I love a cafe mixed with a library. You can sit and read with a coffee or come on a date night and enjoy a cocktail. The books are all for sale if you find something you've gotta have. All the drinks were fantastic and I can't wait to come back for more.

My bookclub was excited to check this place out for one of our monthly meet ups. My friend booked ahead online and when she got there, they did not have our reservation. Thankfully there was room for us outside because a group was booked at 630 (although we are thinking they canceled because this is how we were able to book online... seemed like some real confusion here) but if you do have a reservation, there is a $30 per person minimum. This is relatively hard to meet with a very limited menu, unless you buy a book. I had a mocktail (only 2 can options) and a slice of cake for $16. The menu had cheese boards and dessert, so hard to want to get much more when already having dessert. They do not have any "meal" options so I wish they would have let us bring in our own food since most of us did not eat ahead of time as there was no menu online to see what our options were. The charcuterie boards were $18 and probably was enough for 2-3 (cheese, meat, a jam spread, 5 crackers, and some nuts) The service was.... Not great. I don't want to say awful but the person making drinks seemed to have little knowledge of what was in them. And it was SO. SLOW. the majority of our group barely touched their drinks because they said they were disgusting. There was only one person serving us but kept talking to 2 other employees who must not have been working at the time otherwise I'm confused why they wouldn't help out. The place has a cute vibe. Tons of books & the place where you would want to sit and read or enjoy a drink with friends. There isn't a ton of seating anywhere (inside or outside) but wasn't super busy either. I was overall disappointed in the experience here in terms of food, drink, and service but at least it's a cute, local place to buy books!

I love the vibe this place offers! Cozy, intimate, and unique. It's the perfect place to grab a last minute gift too! I enjoyer the cocktails we got. Old fashioned & a French martini. The service was a little slower only because there was one person working. It was also a bit awkward because there are tables so we sat down at one waiting for a server and finally after no one came I went up and asked if we had to order at the bar and we did. It would be nice to have little signs stating to order at the bar or at the very least someone working there should have told us.

2025 is my year to visit as many locally owned book stores and coffee shops as possible. Chapter Book Lounge is currently ranked as my top fav in the book store category - and that's not the yummy cocktails talking. I had heard multiple rave reviews about CBL so my book nerd girlfriends and I came here for a Friday Eve girl date. The space is THE CUTEST - new and used books lining one wall and sitting on displays throughout, a kids book section complete with the BEST books, cutely curated book themed gifts, jigsaw puzzles, stickers - all my literature loving heart could want. Then, there were the cocktails. Chef's kiss. We tried 8-9 of their offerings between us - most from the featured menu as we were told the "seasonal" drinks were going to change the next day. Everything we had was delicious - with favorites being the espresso old fashioned, the margaritas, the martinis, and one 'spritz' type potion. Drinks were between $11-$17, which seems pretty standard these days. They also offer mocktails, coffees, and some desserty/snack options. I also want to try the bottomless truffle popcorn next time! It was super bustling and busy even at 430pm on a Friday - feeling more like a fun cocktail spot than a bookstore at that time of day/evening. We were lucky to score spots on the couch and surrounding chairs, but it was standing room only for some folks. You can join their annual membership for $100 and receive sweet swag and deals. For free, you also earn loyalty points for each purchase ($1 = 1 point, earning a $10 off coupon for every $100 spent). One thing to look forward to: CBL merch! Of note, there is no real parking situation aside from street parking and perhaps a nearby parking garage - so don't get discouraged! Cannot wait for my next visit and we hope to take advantage of renting some of the space for upcoming book club events, too!

Our book club wanted to go to a boozy bookstore for our January meeting. Chapter Book Lounge was perfect. I got the Hot to go co and it was delicious. It was so cozy and perfect. We had popcorn and sat and chatted in their lounge space. It is not a huge store and was quite crowded while we were there. The drinks and food were a little pricey but were definitely good. The service was wonderful at the store. We will definitely be back.
