I usually stop here either on my way to Asheville, it breaks up the ride nicely, or before climbing at Bigfoot Climbing gym. I have gotten both the Poe and the Hemingway lattes and they are delicious! I've also had some of the dessert pastries from Ugly Duckling - the mocha espresso cookie and the cheddar bacon scone. These treats are tasty and perfect snacking size. The interior of this store is very cozy and there are endless reading nooks throughout the space. The first time I enjoyed my coffee and snack outside but this past weekend, I sat upstairs. Both times have been very enjoyable - one minor note, they closed early on Sunday, at noon instead of 3pm, to prepare holiday decorations. Unfortunately, I arrived at 11:30am so I didn't get to stay and read as long as I originally planned. Wish they would have posted on their social media (I looked them up on Instagram before visiting again)! Other than that little hiccup, this is a must-visit in Morganton!

I love bookstores. And I love this one…read more The coffee shop is open again and the staff are always super helpful. The only thing I have against BAM is that it's corporate. But, to offset my personal grievance, they buy back books, sell used books, and even if something is out of stock, they can order it for me and either send it to my address or hold it for pickup. That's pretty good. They can check, with accuracy, what's in stock. There was one weird time when a clerk couldn't find a common reference book (APA manual), but that's not something everyone uses or knows about, right? They could use more comfortable seating around the store, but it still FEELS like a bookstore and I dig that. Kitschy nerd shirts and clothing, Fandom figures and trappings, and a huge periodical section for enthusiasts of all stripes.

This thriving community bookstore just moved down the block to a new location and it is absolutely…read moregorgeous! I cannot get over the beautiful the decoration spread throughout the shop. The layout is more spacious, there are a variety of cozy seating options to enjoy your new finds, and they have expanded their selection even more than the previous location.

I adore this bookstore and recommend it to all my friends and family.

Really, really cute place and I love that they have a complimentary coffee bar!!…read more However we stopped in at a very busy time and it's such a tight space that I couldn't navigate through at all. I had a specific book in mind that I wanted to look for, but I had to give up because I couldn't get into the section due to there being no space to walk around people. I didn't even get a chance to see what their prices are like, so I can't really comment on much aside from how adorable it looks on the inside and I wish I could have walked around freely!
