Ad Astra Books & Coffee House

Love this place. Nice selection of books. My new favorite coffee shop. 10/10
They even have a little kids corner with toys.

Was just passing through Salina and decided to grab some coffee and breakfast. The lavendar latte was great, with an actual lavender taste. And the toasted bagel with blueberry orange nutmeg cream cheese was delicious! The service was fast and friendly. And to top it all off, the shop itself has an awesome atmosphere that I wish I could go to more often for studying or catching up friends. 👌

Lots of homeless in here. Uncomfortable atmosphere. Coffee is not very good.

Amazing coffee, super cool atmosphere and great employees.

A "must try" place right off I70. To be clear if we were locals I would stop by every day. I think the super friendly team we met were a mother and daughter. They were super patient as we perused the menu and selected a variety of mostly healthy breakfast options on our first visit.

I loved the loaded apple & walnut oatmeal, perfectly toasted bagel, and iced latte. My husband, the carnivore, was pleasantly surprised at how much he liked Becky's Bierock. He is not a coffee guy and MUCH prefers eggs and bacon for breakfast but lovingly accommodates my love of the Java and the places that supply it.

I saw signs that they are moving to a new location but they still had enough good books left for me to find a bagful!

Bottom line, husband and i agree, next year's trip to KS will include a stop at their new location.

A good cup of coffee and a good book. Sit and read for a while, or engage in a friendly game. Staff is helpful and engaging.

I was visiting my partner in Salina and we stopped by here for coffee, a snack and to check out the books. Amazing coffee and amazing rocky road cookie! Really good selection of books and lots of space to study/read/relax. Will definitely be making this a regular stop.

Super nice place you will get ur library with nice coffee! Way better then Starbucks coffees for sure.

I had my first espresso here and managed to find a beloved book series for a great price. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff is charming and provide wonderful customer service. I don't know why I waited so long to come in.
