Owl & Turtle Bookshop Café

Great bookstore & the coffee was delicious. The most friendly batista I've met in a long while.

This place is just cozy and refreshing. We received very kind and prompt service at the coffee counter. Despite coffee not being the only focus of this place, they do it right, offering quality coffee, and traditional drinks, not just the syrupy lattes and gas station brew coffee. We got an El Salvadoran pour over, and a cappuccino, both prepared with great care. After you get your drink, you have the pleasure of browsing a moderate, but rich collection of books available for perusal and purchase. The “staff favorites” section even includes handwritten reviews on small cards inside the covers of the books. The upstairs area features children’s books and beanbags and kid sized chairs for kids to enjoy while reading. This was probably our favorite spot in Camden, but get there early because the small space can feel a little crowded once the late morning visitors filter in. Definitely a “don’t-miss” spot in Camden!

This is separately my favorite cafe and my favorite book store. I came by and found 3 amazing books on the bargain shelf, and tried a different pour over for each day we were visiting. They were so friendly that i left them my Instagram contact info on the last day we were in town!

Years ago the first time i came in was the first time seeing a pour over coffee, having tried it at home now it's really just the best way to make single cups.

Super cute bookstore and coffee shop. Great selection of all top selling books. I chose the poetry section for Maine poets, and also purchased a cute tote bag. The coffee was really good!!

One of the best lattes I've had in a while, I also recommend their apple strudel, absolutely delicious! The lady who I think may be the owner of this place has been exceptionally nice and sweet, with a real human touch, just a great experience all around.

Great selection of books in a warm, intimate setting. Dynamite cafe on the premises, they make a wonderful mocha latte.
The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and absolutely go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable.

If you're in Camden, for the day, the weekend, or the month, Owl & Turtle is must stop.

Small local bookstore with coffee bar. Great selection of books, especially the upstairs filled with children's and young adult books and places fir kids to sit and enjoy them. My granddaughters love this place. Friendly and welcoming.

This book shop is so cute and cozy. They have a great selection of books and also an amazing cafe to grab some coffee and tea after you've grabbed your next read

True hidden jewel in town. Loved to find this place. Ice cream store next door is closed, but I found this place. Nice selection of books. Spent hours there. Best coffee!

Wonderful, family owned, kid friendly bookstore with coffee shop inside. Great location, middle of town.
