What a cute shop! I loved the mystery book section (staff covered the books with a small synopsis on the cover). Bummed that the coffee shop had moved out, but the selection was great and loved all the local knick knacks and stickers that were displayed.

Very cozy bookstore! Staff is friendly and happy to order anything for you if it's not in stock. Have found a lot of good books from their whimsical and well currated displays.

I can't believe I have been sleeping on this place! The look and feel of the place is amazing and beautifully curated. As you walk around you find more and more little nooks and crannies with more books! Great for knick knack/gift shopping.

Such a little treat in Manch! Right next to Cat Alley. They have magnets, postcards, coffee mugs, stickers, greeting cards, gifts, jewelry, and obviously books haha! There is a little cafe in the back, a children's area, and they use the front as an event/meeting area sometimes. They also do book club! Staff has always been super sweet when I've gone in.

Upon entering the Bookery and reaching Proba Cafe, I was immediately greeted with a warm and friendly smile by the barista, who took the time to address all my inquiries with ease and professionalism. The establishment boasts an impressive selection of organic beverages, including hot and cold coffees, teas, matcha, golden milk, and hot chocolate. During this visit, I opted for a hot coffee latte, which showcased exceptional flavor and impressive foam artwork. The accompanying cranberry scone was delightfully buttery and soft in texture, making for a perfect start to my day. Notably, the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the cafe's status as a small, local business. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, conducive to relaxation and socialization. Before I knew it, hours had passed as I browsed books in the Bookery and caught up with friends and family. Once again, the staff and owner demonstrated their warm hospitality and genuine passion for their work. I will undoubtedly return to this establishment every time I am in town. Thank you!

Charming local bookstore! Cozy 'fireplace' to sit and enjoy a book. Great little gift sections thru out, with candles, stickers, journals and even some old time candies that we grew up on. My favorite was the 'Blind Date With a Book' section, where all the books are wrapped and artwork on the 'cover' hints at the book contents, which is creatively hand drawn by the employees. There was a poetry reading happening at one end of the store when I was there, and the Cafe should be reopening later this Fall.

An absolute treasure of a bookstore!! The cafe has delicious coffees, teas and snacks. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. I love the inventory of local made and inclusive items to shop. Every time my husband and I travel to the area to visit friends and family we make it a point to stop in and grab a coffee and some books.

Was in town for a few days and came across The Bookery. Very cute. Great employees, very helpful and easy to talk to. They have a coffee shop in the back, even though it's not affiliated with The Bookery it was also great. I was able to get some coffee and look around at the books and unique gifts some of them from the local artists. I bought a few stickers. One of the most unique things I saw and creative was their. Don't judge a book by its cover table where you can choose a book with clues to what the book might be if you're willing to take a risk and love reading. So go check them out. You won't be disappointed. Bonus: they're a small business I love supporting local. If I'm ever in that area again, I'm definitely stopping by for a visit.

The Bookery is truly the perfect place to launch my first children’s book. From the moment I walked in with “Undiscovered Treasures of the Fireflies”, the space felt warm, welcoming, and full of heart—exactly the kind of magic you hope surrounds a story about wonder, nature, and imagination.
