Bookstore café with 80,000+ titles and organic fair-trade coffee
Webster’s Bookstore Cafe, established in 1999 and nestled at 133 E. Beaver Avenue, is a beloved downtown gem that blends community, literature, and thoughtful café fare. It offers organic, fair-trade coffee and tea alongside vegan and gluten-free food options, set amid a vast collection of over 80,000 used books, local and new titles, and vintage vinyl records. Since day one, it’s prioritized environmental sustainability—being the first café locally to use compostable cups—and fosters inclusion, hosting community meetings and artistic events from poetry readings to art showcases. The ambiance—part cozy bookstore, part café—draws students, locals, and bibliophiles alike. It's praised for its welcoming, creative atmosphere where patrons can linger, browse, and savor coffee in a space that feels both timeless and community-minded.
