There’s something so special and magical about book stores like these. They are so hard to come by it seems. The layout of the store is very easy to navigate and understand. The used book selection is large and easy to sort through, as well.

Glad we stopped in here! Everyone was very friendly we encountered and also found some great prices on books that have been on my “to-read” list. Check this place out!

I have been to many coffee shops in various places around the World and Chapters is by far the best coffee shop I've ever had the pleasure of visiting.

From the vast selection of books to the kind and personable staff, this spot has it all and the coffee is great too!

5 stars all around and if you're ever in Van Buren Arkansas this is a must visit location...

A great bookstore to unwind in! Grab a book and a coffee or tea, and slip away. The kids level is my son's favorite place. He will hang out, read, and play forever. We like to pick a book cover and then try to recreate it with the blocks. Added bonus, is the yummy coffee, tea, and smoothies. My son loves the hot chocolate in the winter, and the strawberry smoothies in summer. So momma gets her caffeine, and he gets a treat too. Good atmosphere🥰

This place is straight out of your favorite Hallmark! The coffee is exceptional, they have a wide variety of books and the service is incredible! They always say they will remake any coffee drinks that aren’t perfect, but they always turn out just right. I HIGHLY recommend treating yourself to some time inside Chapter On Main!

My son and I decided to break up our winter doldrums with a daytrip to Van Buren. Chapters on Main was such a wonderful surprise! the coffee was phenomenal! The barista knew what he was doing and they care enough to use great beans and good milk (I had an oat milk latte...they use the Pacific brand barista series). We had super yummy muffins; i liked the cinnamon muffin best and my son preferred the chocolate. The book selection was way better then we expected and the staff really knows their inventory. The vibe is welcoming and joyful, we spent almost 3 hours in there! If you love coffee, or baked goods, or books, this is a must experience place!

Terry Adams

Great little local book store. Cozy! They support local authors, too. Which is great. Books are categorized well so it was easy to find what I was looking for. And got a latte while I was there!

My first time in Chapters the owner introduced herself to me and told me her fairytale of becoming a bookstore owner!
You can see how much care she puts into the place, the coffee, and the book selection. They keep the newest releases and most popular books in stock, and have a decent amount of 2nd hand books. She did tell me she needs more SciFi books (though I think us scifi fantasy readers become pretty attached to our books). My favorite part of the store is the local author bookshelf. Largest selection I have seen in Arkansas. Also largest variety, most places seem to only have ‘history of’ available.

This is a new staple for my husband and I when we come Fort Smith.
