Paperback Cafe is awesome! The freshest food, amazing menu choices, and solid attention to detail. Kate has created such a cozy, warm environment and really cares about each and every customer. They have outdoor seating which is beautiful! Also, the best smoothie- The Caveman; Healthy and delicious. Great gluten free options which is always a plus and will pretty much make anything you want. Very friendly staff- Maxine is awesome!

This cafe has a wonderful ambiance! Lots of natural light in the morning and a small town Gilmore Girls vibe. The staff were super nice and the food was delicious. They also offer fresh baked goods, including a gluten free banana bread this morning.

Got take out order of a Turkey Club man, it hit the spot! Girl at the register when picked up give her props, couple in front of me ordering were so clueless and she kept her cool and sorta brushed off the dumbness and made light of it, I would have lost my mind. But anyways great little family owned joint! Never knew it was there, be back for lunch break soon enough I’m sure!
