Had a cup of iced latte and a cup of earl grey. It's a lovely place. The coffee was ok. The tea didn't have much taste. read more

Everything here was amazing. The Headliner was incredible--literally tasted like drinking a snickerdoodle cookie. I also tried the Scriptwriter, which was just as good. The toasts were fantastic, especially the bacon avocado, and now I'm already planning to come back to try the banana, strawberry, Nutella toast. Such a fun, creative menu with really high-quality flavors. Definitely a place I'll be back to! read more

I have been going to Novel daily for couple weeks now. I am just upset that I have been in the Richland for a while and I just discovered it! The ambience at this place is quaint and relaxing. I really love the decor and the feel good atmosphere. The coffee is strong and delicious. You can tell they put effort into their craft. I had a couple of food items from their menu and they were tasty as well. read more

I have found one of the worst things a business can do is advertise one price and then charge a customer a different price. Your menu lists the price for a coffee as $7.00 and a yogurt bowl at $9.25. I was rung up more for both items. Please fix your menu. read more

Almost want to gate keep! This place has the best coffee I have had in the area. The options are great and the atmosphere in the shop is cozy and inviting! read more

Such a comforting place with all the right components, starting with the service was amazing and thoughtful about choosing something new. The decor base is so creative and we went during the holidays so it was kicked up making it fun with associated music. The coffee cake with cardamom hit different, all in amazing joint!!! read more

Took my nieces whom were from out of state here because they love quaint and unusual cafes. And they loved it! (Of course) it's adorable so nanny little nooks and tchotchkes to look at. Their coffees are delish and have fun book inspired names. read more

Stumbled across this cute coffee place and glad I did. Such a cute deco, yes, like the name everything is themed around books. Awesome interior design and well thought out. It's small but there are seats for everyone. You can to go or sit and enjoy your beverages. There was a line and when we walked in we heard a voice, welcome we won't be long! I was surprised with how many people in line the server made a point to greet us. Two lovely cheery ladies happily greeted to take our orders. One was in training so she kept apologizing for her coffee art work, which was fine . Lattes were good and in a good size mugs. We also had the avocado toast which did not disappoint. With how busy this place is, it was so clean and well maintained. Loved everything about this place and the service exceeded. read more

First impression is adorable! The cutest ambiance and style and so many photo worthy design elements. Service at the counter was quick. The menu has pictures of the toasts and bowls which was cool. Coffee came out quick and food took a little while. We both enjoyed our meals which were also photo worthy. The Greek toast was delicious; pickled onion was crunchy and zesty, but the toast was not very toasted (if at all?) and it was a bit hard to cut through. They put a cute paper down between the toast and the food but it got soggy and ripped with the knife. If you get concerned about accidentally eating paper just be forewarned-lol! I wasn't, rather it was more of a minor inconvenience. A large party with children came in and it got really loud for a bit. Novel may look into sound abatement features for their next upgrade. Coffee was good! Started with an Americano and ended with a cold brew- both were excellent. Overall was pleased and would go back to try more toast flavors! read more

Great coffee, excellent food options, and nice ambiance. Good place to pop in or to spend a few hours.

It's really pretty inside I like the aesthetic. Ordered a novel coffee today, it tasted like chocolate milk. The two barista's were arguing the whole time we were there and mixing up orders My order was actually forgotten and we had to remind them. It is very pricey for the quality of coffee and food read more

The drinks were so yummy! Tasted the Oliver and the Author. The coffee was a bit pricy but could taste the quality coffee and syrups. I would recommend the classic bowl. That almond butter was great with the yogurt and fruit! read more

It's a great place! Awesome ambiance and service. The staff is friendly and they create a very chill environment.

Vibes: 5/5. The atmosphere of this place should be enough to carry it alone. Love the music, the decor, the seating. Great! Coffee: 4/5. Solid coffee, fun specialties. Nothing spectacular but would easily recommend and worth a small detour. Toast: 2???/5. Frankly baffling. Neither of our toasts were toasted. It was raw bread (good bread, a very generous slice), with cream cheese and a healthy amount of guac smeared on and then precooked bacon on top, plus seasonings and pepper flakes. I cannot imagine a world where you accidentally spread cream cheese and guac on untoasted bread so I guess(???) the default for their toasts is untoasted? Or the baristas just didn't care at all? I would prefer not to jump to that conclusion, they seemed friendly and mostly engaged. We ended up just eating and leaving. Idk! I want to recommend places like this and I guess I mostly can but... yea make sure to ask for your toast to be toasted, I guess. Would've been pretty great otherwise. Fresh bacon would have been nice too. read more

Very cute coffee shop that definitely has their aesthetics done right! Loved the book page wall detail that fits their brand and namesake. Overall, here is what I ordered: MILK TEA BOBA: I ordered this drink iced and half sweet. Their boba quality was okay texture-wise, but they tended to clump up which made it difficult to drink through the straw a few times (kept on getting stuck). I also ordered this half sweet and the tea quality tasted diluted. Overall, this was a miss from me for both the tea and boba as I have had a ton of boba from various places. THE NUTCRACKER: This was one of their holiday specials, which I ordered hot and half sweet. This drink comes with toffee nut, sea salt, caramel, and espresso. LOVED this so much and would totally get this again! PARKING: Free in the lot its located. read more

I've been a fan of Novel since it first opened. The aesthetic has always been appealing. It stands out from other coffee shops in the area. The coffee is made well and the avocado toast is delicious (though another review recommended actually toasting the bread, and I agree.) The staff are kind and welcoming. This is what I miss about Novel from when it first opened: I remember going because I saw a creatives every time I went in. People drawing, editing photos, writing. The music was mostly vibing instrumentals and had a classy timeless feel to it. Now it seems like a place for Bible studies and Christian music. I've started frequenting Novel less because of that reason. As I read through other reviews, I'm not the only customer that seems turned away by this. read more

Everything was as expected. Cute coffee shop. It's rare to find a well decorated interior in the Tri-Cities. Drinks were overpriced, but there's no drive thru so it seems you're paying for the experience of sitting inside. There was a lot of young women sitting inside studying or meeting with friends. It is serving its purpose. I would like to go back but I probably won't because of the worship music. There are so many great neutral music options available now with streaming services, there's no reason to exclude customers from feeling welcome with the choice of music. That said, if this is a Christian only establishment, I get it, but I won't be back. read more

If you are searching for the best bubble tea location in the Tri-Cities, look no further. I adore this place. Going here countless times with many colleagues, I have never had complaints. The quality of coffee or tea here is wonderful and brown sugar tapioca is delectable, a favorite to add to any refreshment. From black coffee to strawberry lychee green tea, the variety of drinks offered at this shop is incredible. The environment with its antique decorations and comfortable seating is divine. The service is generally great, however, the employees appear to be a bit unenthusiastic at times to serve their customers. Overall, I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for a coffee shop to relax, have a spot of tea, and read a book. read more

I was in Richland for 5 days for a work training so good coffee is required. This coffee shop is super cute and every drink I got from them was the perfect amount of sweetness and bitterness from the coffee. Most places it's all milk or isn't sweet enough. The overall vibe is cool with the book theme. Now you might be asking why I took off two stars, first every day I went in, the barista was not friendly. No hello, good morning, smile, anything. One of the days I waited till 8:10am for the shop to open and it didn't. I was running short on time so I went to Peacock coffee across the street and their barista was very warm and welcoming. Ironically Novel Coffee posted on their IG story they were opened at 8am when they weren't. I would still go if I was back in town but I would keep my experiences in mind. read more

Flight attendant here! And wow this is easily one of the CUTEST shops I've been in! Love love love the decor and vibes - you couldn't tell from the outside at all.

The experience I had here was unfortunately not up to par with the majority of reviews. Food good, coffee good however, the service was majorly lacking. After I ordered it took approximately 15 minutes to receive drinks and even longer for the avocado toast I ordered. They also had to substitute on every drink I ordered because they were out of something. Yes they have a cool atmosphere but it doesn't make up for service that's not there. read more

Customer service is always amazing and the drinks are fantastic! I always get the Chandler half sweet and while it differs in sweetness depending on who is making it, it's always good. The decor is very classy, a great place to sit and catch up with a friend. read more

I was on my layover in pasco, Washington when I suddenly started craving some bubble tea. I wasn't expecting much at first since it seemed more like a coffee shop and most of the bubble tea I have tried from coffee shop has been less than stellar. I ordered something simple, a brown sugar milk bubble tea and strawberry banana toast. I was so surprised The brown sugar boba was so freaking good. It was probably the best brown sugar boba I have ever tasted in my whole life. The toast was pretty good as well. The service and the ambiance is super nice and chill. This is a place that is good to hangout with friends or even do homework. I will definitely come back here if I have a layover again in pasco, Washington. I highly recommend this place. read more
