This is a cozy shop with wonderful atmosphere and terrific food options. The Ginger Apple Cider Vinegar Spritzer was a unique treat, and the cardamom rolls could be habit forming. Our sandwich was on house made farmhouse bread, and the black bean soup was exceptional.

Nice little book store and Cafe. I had split pea soup and a hot chocolate and they were very good. The atmosphere is very artsy and relaxing. Also they have a nice selection of books. Good place to go for a light meal or to find something to read in LaGrande, Oregon.

I had the best sandwich of my life. Everything is fresh and flavours are well combined and thought through. The staff is the sweetest. And the variety of books… Oh boy, tell your friends, ok my coming back!

Remarkable in every way. It is clear the owners are passionate about what they do. The food is perfection and the book selection beautifully curated and displayed. We will route through La Grande in the future just to stop here.

Because of snow and freeway closures I actually stopped in La Grande and discovered this place. Loved the food. Friendly staff and great atmosphere made it too notch. For a book lovers I was in heaven. Found some old astrology books. Next time I drive past La Grande I’ll be stopping by for some food and broiling the books again.

I simply love the combination of a cafe and a bookstore. JaxDog also offered a very clean bathroom. I sensed a bit of a smell when entering the cafe, but I did not notice it after a few minutes.

Definitely not a book store by any standard. Very poor floor plan. Unwelcoming and pretentious environment. No room to browse the books. Seating was cramped with only two chairs per table, the hostess was rude/curt. Almost all the books are used. The smell of the kitchen area was so strong it deterred me from the idea of dinning in. A major birthday let down.

The food presentation is gorgeous. Friendly staff. They had rose tea, which is hard to find even in Portland. The ganache bar is like eating a bag of chocolate chips (the fancier kind), but it’s gluten free! Atmosphere almost made this 5 star for me. Lots of great books. Window seating. Romantic, hip, classy, chill. It’s all of those things. I’ll be bringing my friends and my daughter.
