Old Fox Books is one of those low-key spots you almost don't want to tell people about because it's that good. Great place to grab a coffee, flip through some books, and just hang out for a bit. It's got a relaxed vibe. If you've got kids, it's an easy win; there's a small reading area inside and a patio with this cool little wooden playhouse that kept mine busy for a while. We ended up staying way longer than planned just chilling. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I want something easy and laid-back. read more

I saw this local bookstore and coffee shop while walking in town. It's so cute inside. It's bookstore with many seating areas and the coffee shop in the back. They have an outdoor deck with tables and chairs. There is a second floor down a winding staircase and they had apothecary sections. I got an iced London fog, very delicious. I would definitely come back and it's a place where you can bring friends or cowork (there are outlets). read more

My husband and I were strolling through downtown Annapolis one morning when we stumbled upon Old Fox Books. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were absolutely immaculate. Someone was playing beautiful music on the piano, which created the most peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The bookstore itself is charming and thoughtfully laid out, with multiple levels to explore and perfect for browsing. There's also a coffee shop inside, which just makes the whole experience even better. Their selection is also varied, with a great mix of new and classic titles, and the location couldn't be more perfect. read more

It looks cute from the outside, but the inside is far more charming. I took two steps inside and fell in love. And around every single corner, fell more deeply. I joked with the gentleman who checked me out that I was in love and he said that's what happened to him and now he works/lives there. Ha. There is a cute coffee shop in the back with outdoor deck seating and an even cuter ivy covered patio on the first floor down some steps. Coffee smelled wonderful, with a few pastries, and some seasonal monthly drink flavors that looked delicious. Didn't try anything bc we had just eaten lunch. Inside on the first level there is additional tables and seating and some comfy chairs throughout - then, you can go down some old iron spiral stairs to the lower level and find two cute rooms loaded with interesting books, more comfy seating, and a witchy section with several herbs and items. In general - I loved absolutely everything and would be here ALL the time if I lived here. What a cool spot to meet a friend for a coffee, read a book, or work from home. Another reviewer called it epic. I agree, the word fits here if you are at all a literature nerd. read more

Calling all book and coffee lovers!!!! Wow!!! This spot is super cute. This amazing spot has a plethora of new and used books and other goodies for purchase. I took my daughter and her friend here and they were so excited. We tried out their coffee (I went with a regular small black coffee by Ceremony and it did not disappoint). Seating is limited but looks like there are options to sit outside during warmer temperatures. Will definitely return. read more

Harry Potter Fans... STOP HERE. also if you love Foxes, there are several scattered about as well. You will love all the hidden details hidden throughout the store!!! Cute, tiny, but big book store, books are stacked high, variety of options. My one and only complaint.... I had no clue how much these books were! No prices anywhere, no signs, no stickers... Each time I had tried to ask the person working the counter, they were busy talking to other people. There's a cafe hidden in the back, with a good variety of pastries. And yes friends, gluten free options as well! Had some in their regular pastry cabinet, but also some bakery girls sealed packages hidden on a shelf that are easy to miss. Coffee was good, basic, perfect options. There;s a long table of people working on their computers, thought it was cute, as we sat there, seeing how everyone knew each other... would go grab their coffees and set up shop at their community table. Very cute small town feel. read more

This place was an epic Coffee and drinks in the initial room that's full of foxes. The basement has an alchemy room essentially where you can learn of herbs and their use, along with buy some on site. (Let me try out your new shipments pls) There's the main cafe area and then the downstairs where you deep dive into alchemy and the like. Great place read more

Annapolis is our hometown and my sophomore needed a book for his English Literature class. I found Old Fox online as their inventory was published and the book and store sourced up in my search result. I left a voicemail and they promptly called back. Old Fox held it for me, even though it wasn't very expensive. Excellent service and they were super nice to both of us at the store! read more

Really cute place, the coffee is great and the pastries are fresh. They have a small but cute back setting area.

Wow, such a cute place to stop in. They have a small selection of coffee, but it tastes good! I went and looked at beautiful books and sat in the garden in the back. It was relaxing and beautiful and I got to chat about a book I found with one of the employees who clearly had a passion for beautiful books. They have so much comfy seating, a variety of books, and a great atmosphere! read more

I'm not in Annapolis often, but when I am, Old Fox Books is always a stop I'll make. It's adorable inside. Super cozy with seemingly endless corners to explore. They have an impressive collection of used books of all sorts of topics. My favorite section is downstairs where they keep the witchy and occult type books. They also have a coffee shop in the back and even an outdoor area. It's one of those places you want to spend hours inside exploring but you'd still never feel like you saw it all. I recommend taking anyone to Old Fox Books, but especially the out of towner. It's certain to be a memorable little adventure. read more

Easily the best bookstore I've ever been to, partly because it's so much more than that! If I had kids, I'd bring them here every weekend. There's a garden in the back, DELICIOUS coffee, a patio, a toy house, a witch section downstairs, comfy recliners, and a harp! For little telescopes, great art, and a really chill location on Maryland Avenue. I'd stop by again if I'm ever in town. read more

I found this coffee shop when I was exploring Annapolis, and was very happy that I did. I was thoroughly impressed. It reminds me of a barns and noble but a unique and cozy one.

What an amazing coffee shop in bookstore. The coffee met expectations and the pastries were good, but this historic bookstore is off the charts awesome. Be sure to take the staircase down to the basement. Then take the stairs down even deeper. Watch your head cuz it's low clearance. read more

I stopped in at Old Fox Books today to have a look around. I will be meeting some book club friends there in a week or so to browse and buy. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon in Annapolis. This is a very cozy independent bookstore--the kind of place where you want to hang out every week for a while. They have a coffee counter, which was very popular today. In addition to the indoor space, you can enjoy a coffee in the rear garden. I look forward to going back soon to browse their whole collection. read more

Walking distance from USNA, Annapolis Main Street, and capitol building. Gorgeous interior with a homey feel. Outside is very pretty and green, and people sit down to drink a coffee/eat a baked good or just quietly read a book. One of my favorite spots to get some fresh air. Usually decently quiet. read more

It was okay. Probably actually only 3 stars, if I'm honest. We traveled 2 hours to come to this book shop because of a recommendation from a friend. It was a cozy shop of mostly used books. Street parking only. There was a small coffee shop inside, which we didn't try. A pretty cool dungeon like area downstairs with lots of witchy stuff. If you live nearby it seems like a nice place to hang out. Overall a nice place, but definitely not worth driving 2 hours for. read more

What a cool place! I really enjoyed this book store! This will be a definite stop when I am in the Annapolis area! I had a wish and could design my library, this is what I imagine it looking like!

I love independent bookstores, so when I saw the bookstore when I was walking around the area this past weekend, I had to go in. I'm so glad I did. It's a charming store. It's small but it's well stocked: new books and old books. A few steps into the store, and I saw several books I wanted. I ended up walking out of the store with a special old copy of a Nancy Mitford novel. The bookshop also has a coffee shop in the back - Brown Mustache Coffee - so you can get a great book and a great coffee in the same place. I definitely recommend stopping by both the bookstore and the coffee shop if you're like me and find the smell of books plus coffee to be the best in the world. Support your local independent bookstores - they're treasures! This one is special! read more

Old Fox Books is such a cute little bookstore, offering a mix of current and old books, stationery/gift items, and a coffee shop within. I was more entertained by their decor, with vintage-esque figurines and gadgets. The spiral-case stairs that led downstairs was kind of like an adventure, with an oversized table and some chairs. The word 'cozy' is one way to describe this place. I found it charming that they have read-alouds and book clubs, a great way to engage with the community. +new/old books +stationery/gift items +coffee shop in the back +limited residential parking read more

Came from DC to visit Old Fox Books and it was worth the hype and so cute! Crowded on a rainy Sunday evening, the space was bustling with book lovers and coffee drinkers. A mix of old and used books gave it a homey vibe, as did the holiday decorations, rugs, and comfy chairs throughout. There's a basement with even more old books and hidden gems. The coffee shop has a diverse selection and some seating, plus really cute branded merch! Staff was very kind and helpful! Definitely worth a visit to see this iconic little find:) read more

Really enjoyed the brief time I spent in this little shop. There's something really wonderful about bookstores in general, and Old Fox is no exception. I recently relocated from Massachusetts, and have been pleased to find several local book shops that AREN'T big box corporations. Unless I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll be shopping these gems for the foreseeable future. I have the tendency to be as invested in ambiance as I am in options, and where I find the selection somewhat limited, I am going as much for the visual stimulation as I am for the books. In this category, Old Fox does not disappoint. As a caveat, I only had about half an hour to browse before closing time. The selection is interesting - depending on genre preference there's a good chance you won't find something you're looking for explicitly. Their history and literature sections seem quite robust, though, and despite not having a ton of options of the types of titles I'd usually go for, I still managed to take home 3 books. I had a prior coffee date planned, and didn't feel like buzzing through my night, so didn't get to check out their coffee options. But the set up is such that I intend to make my way back soon for a coffee, some more browsing, and an hour or two with a book in the seating area. read more

Love love love this place! From the moment you walk in, you are sure to notice the home-like atmosphere. There are cool old school touches like one of those sliding ladders you see in pictures of old libraries. There are Easter eggs to look out for, like a tiny closet under the spiral stairs labeled "Harry's Room." Thoughtful displays including Women's history month, local flavor, and I even remember seeing one at one point on nature's hidden signs and forest bathing. You can tell the staff members have diverse, rich interests. Brown Mustache coffee shop also calls this place home, so you can sip a coffee while you browse! The children's section is just adorable and very well-curated. The staff us super friendly and helpful, too. I've stayed here for hours before and would love to do it again any day! read more

Neat bookstore with a cafe. We didn't visit the cafe part, so I can't speak to that. They do have a patio and a table or two inside. Because it was fairly popular and the space is small -- don't miss downstairs, there are a lot more books down there -- it was noisier than I like my bookstores to be. One thing that's a bit odd for me is that they have used (I think?) and new books mixed together on the shelves. Possibly they are just old -- they do have a bunch of old editions of stuff, which is pretty cool -- but some of them look to be in less than stellar condition. I'd have liked a better selection, though you can only do so much in a small physical footprint. What was there was a nice curation. I also often visit bookstores with my young daughter, as I did today; they had books for very young children (Dr. Seuss, etc.) and books for middle readers, but I couldn't really find much of anything for her reading level, which is in those "early chapter books" stage. read more

As every book shop should be - unique and welcoming. Fox Books is literally the Shop Around the Corner. Grab a book, snuggle up in a corner, the only sound you'll hear are the footsteps. Even on a Sunday before closing, the walkways are a constant flow of couples and browsers. I followed the finding staircase down to discover Harry and Hedweg, shelves are loosely labeled by category, and random baskets and crates hold surprise books, mysterious wrappings, and intrigue. At checkout, we verified our purchases at the desk, the pricing can be a little tricky, but very reasonable. We were also notified that Horcruxes are all over the building and only one had been found, so that's reason alone to return. I may have spotted the sword... Which House are you? read more

Visited this delightful bookshop yesterday. Wonderful experience. Bookshop provides a great selection of fiction and non-fiction. I was particularly taken with the used philosophy books, where there were some real treasures at very reasonable prices. Proximity to St John's definitely helps in this regard. In turn, the coffee shop was equally well executed. Very good coffee and a perfect ambiance to step out of the world and relax, or just put your head into a good book. Well done! read more
