    Always love stopping by for some coffee or tea, and then go browsing for good books! Drinks can be for here or to-go. The shop has great character and cozy ambience inside. There's plenty of room to sit down in the back, or perch on a barstool up front by the counter. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I've bought a couple of books here before -- while they are pricier, I come here to enjoy both the books and the store experience. It's worth ducking in if you're visiting Wellington Square

    This is my all-time favorite bookstore (and I've seen quite a few)! The beautiful decor, amazing selection, and eclectic gifts make it a spot that I want to come back to again and again. They also serve coffee and pastries, which is a huge plus!

    Cute store

    Cute stores. Has a nice setup for children. Selection and prices are not great but I can get over that because I enjoy a good book store. I never expect the price or selection of Amazon at a small B&M store. One of the staff has several interesting reviews published in national papers. The one star is because everytime I go in there it seems like there is some loud, pretentious, politically charged, staff member sharing their views. I'm not offended by it, I just don't want to hear it when I come there to relax. They also don't want to debate. If you dare to have a logical debate with the staff, and you share a different view, be prepared for them to try to shame you or make you feel bad for just living your life.

    Cute bookstore with a lot of charm! It has a pretty nice atmosphere and has that old comfy bookstore feel. Worth a stop in just to walk around and enjoy the interior. They also have a small cafe inside so you can grab a refreshment while you're there. For me it lost 1 star for selection, nothing they can do about that since space is limited, and some of the prices being high. It loses another star for not cracking down on masks. While they do have it posted on the door that they are required to enter, there were four people in the back area not wearing masks, and as I've already mentioned it's a small store. Posting a rule and enforcing it at the door does very little if the enforcement stops once people are out of sight.

    I've been here multiple times and this is such a unique and cute bookstore. There is a bakery inside with fresh pastries and drinks like coffee and tea. There's a really cool fountain inside that you can throw coins into. The selection of books isn't like Barnes & Nobles but that's the charm of a small book store. There are books you might over look at a bigger book store. The story time here for kids is amazing. It's Tuesday mornings at 10am and the guy is very animated and the kids are very engaged. He hands out cookies at the end and the kids can color too. Overall, worth checking out!

    What a wonderful find, this is absolutely one of the best book stores I have ever been in, it's a enchanting and very warming and peaceful place, a true throwback to yesteryear equipped with a sliding shelve ladder. A fantastic collection of 1800's books and signed first additions for sale. The staff is pleasurable and helpful with a great knowledge on authors and books. A coffee shop is located in this quant book store and the most comfortable seats to sit relax and read. If your in the area this is a must stop you will not be disappointed.

    Feels like your sitting at home but nope---you're actually looking at the table in the shop. Pretty neat.

    I'm so glad I finally got to visit this charming farm in Chester Springs! The property is…read moreabsolutely beautiful, with plenty of friendly farm animals to see -- perfect for kids or just a relaxing day out. There was a long line for ice cream, but it moved quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. You can't see the ice cream behind the counter, so you have to go by the menu board (and samples). I tried the cookies and cream, chocolate, and chocolate with peanut butter cups -- all were incredibly creamy and full of flavor. It's 10x better than anything store-bought! There's also plenty of seating both inside and out on the porch, which made it easy to sit back and enjoy the treat. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors!

    The ice cream was fantastic and they sell it by weight (per ounce) so I was able to ask for small…read morescoops of three different flavors. They were out of the tiramisu by the time it was our turn in line - warning: lines are long on weekends, especially when it's nice out, so it'll take a while. I tried the rose flavor, peanut butter fudge, and harvest cheesecake. I wasn't actually a huge fan of the cheesecake but did really like the other two. The actual pumpkin patch is nice and we got to pick several pumpkins of our own. If you're not interested in picking them yourself, there are plenty already plucked off the vine and lining the path there, as well as on display, that you could buy instead. Small Pumpkins were $3, medium were $5, and there were two more sizes after that. The tiny ones are $1 each and on a display when you enter. There is apple cider and honey for sale as well. The corn maze is meant more for kids and was a quick walk through for us.
