Iris Book Cafe

“Delicious cold brew, good atmosphere, and friendly service.”

I truly have no other words to describe this place other than "lovely". The decor is books, coffee, and comfy seating. It's perfect in so many ways. The cold brew coffee was excellent, and the staff members were caring and kind. Worth the stop for the coffee and the ambiance. The books here are mainly used, and there were a few BOGO sales going on when I went. I highly recommend this place to any book or coffee lover! 📚☕️😁 Hidden gem status, for sure. 💎

I especially loved sitting out on the beautiful patio, wher
