Five star bookstore, three star cafe. But the bookstore part is legit cool. It's a converted church and makes excellent and creative use of the space. There are tables where you can sit and read and sip your coffee (which is just ok). And it never feels crowded. This place really blows those chain bookstores out of the water. Great selection, and the displays are well tailored to current events, but in an educational rather than gimmicky way. They also have a good selection of literature and even some academic books (though you might have to hunt for the latter). They also sell vinyls and old posters, but books are the main attraction here. I haven't felt this comfortable in a bookstore in years.
A museum of culture, atmosphere, and vibe. The midtown Schollar carries a remarkable collection of literature, in a space broken up into dozens of open, separate rooms that breeze into one another facilitating grazing very naturally. The collection of current literature in the main gallery will revive your faith in contemporary art, and the underground plethora of classics will keep you grounded in antiquity. This is a place of nooks, from the upper story outdoor balcony, to the side-basement art alcove, to the low-key conferences rooms just-so shielded from reality by the children's sections.
If you love books and live within a hundred miles you have to check this out. Modest cafe but right across the street from the Broad St market. Not the same scale as Powell's in Portland OR but same vibe. This is smack in the middle of one of Harrisburg's revival neighborhoods
Cool, labyrinthine building. They have a great selection of new and used books. There is also a bakery and coffee bar. This would be a great place to spend a day when the weather is crappy outside
A friend and I stopped in here after choir practice last week for a late night treat. I honestly had no idea this place existed before she took me there. I loved the old world architecture and tasteful way their books were set up. The aroma of lattes and cinnamon filled the place. Staff was very friendly. We sat up on the second floor balcony to have our coffee and then we browsed their selection. Will definitely be stopping by again soon!
