There are better coffee shops in town that feel cleaner, are more welcoming, and have great coffee. It's a shame too, because it is in a perfect location off the square. We tried several times, but they lost us as customers. May check back from time to time to see if they clean up their act and focus on excellent, welcoming service.

Coffee is local from a roaster in Spartanburg, SC. The vibe here is between a diner and a hipster coffee house. I'm digging it! They even have a side room with couches and board games. I wish they had a coffee place like this in our hometown just up the road in Grover! Oh well I guess we will make the drive down more often. Thanks Zakary!

What stood out the most was that unlike a shop we visited yesterday (I won't name it, but it's in Hickory), my son wasn't followed around by the owner/staff like he was up to no good (my son is 2 months shy of 7 at the time of this, and he kept his hands in his pockets most of the time, so I'm not sure why that person felt the need to make me uncomfortable by following my kid and getting wide-eyed every time he pointed to something or touched anything). We felt very welcome at Got Books, and I look forward to going back! Also, the coffee is great!

As a book girl I love that they have blind date with a book and a bookshelf with books. I also enjoyed the music selection. The staff were friendly. I got a Honey Nut Cheerios latte. Delicious! It's sweet so if you don't like sweet then it will not be for you. I also got a bacon, egg, and cheese. Which there was a little more food in the sandwich but it was still filling. We were playing on ordering and eating on the road but decided to sit and eat. I would definitely go back.

Coffee is always good although sometimes the consistency of the taste may be slightly off sometimes. But if you understand coffee and pulling espresso shots there can be very fine nuances that change depending on the grind, temp, time, and even the barista can affect the way a shot is made/tastes. So I'm not upset that it's not the same every time. It just shows that this is the real deal. I enjoy the Breve here and the Chai Tea is solid too. The blended drinks are always good too. We've tried the spicy cayenne pepper drink and it was too much spice. I know it can be done as I've had it at a different coffee shop and it had just the right amount of kick. But this could be very subjective as everyone's spice level is different.
