Ballyhoo Books & Brew

Ballyhoo Books brings so much to the Alma community. The recent addition of the Brew shop is like a perfectly placed 'cherry on top', providing delicious coffee and tea options, along with delightful treats all at very reasonable prices. The Brew maintains a very relaxing vibe with exceptionally friendly service. It's the perfect spot to meet up with friends, family and colleagues.

A great selection of books for a wide range of people. They also offer quality café products. The staff is very friendly and pleasant to have a conversation with.

Do you need a gift idea for someone? Buy them a book or give them a gift card to Ballyhoo so them can pick one out.

Ballyhoo Books & Brew has been a favorite of mine since the book side opened, and that love has only grown with the opening of the brew side. The owner, Dawn, is wonderful, as are the staff. I love the community being created here and enjoy working from the café, while other groups gather for various meetings. On the brew side, I've tried lattes, brewed coffee, bakery items, and toasts. All have been delicious. I love the simple menu with focus on quality ingredients. The toasts are thick slices of great bread; enough to share! Lastly, I appreciate the use of eco-friendly materials by the café. I recommend Ballyhoo Books & Brew to anyone looking for a unique gift, a nice space to enjoy a few hours, or a quick cup of coffee and snack.

Good selection and a cute corner with kids books. Both people working were welcoming and friendly with myself and my 2 year old son. We'll definitely be back.

Go to Ballyhoo Books for Knitting Group on Thursday. Meet other Knitters and enjoy sharing. Fun place, and Dawn is great.

*Updated to add brew review*
The coffee was excellent- we ordered a Café au lait, cappuccino, and hot chocolate. Everyone loved what they got. We also ordered toast with Nutella, and Jane Austen. Delish. This place is just as cozy and welcoming as the bookstore. I personally appreciate all the little Easter Eggs of intentionality (the Wifi password 😉) that shows the love and passion poured into this place.

Original- I *love* this bookstore. It is cozy and welcoming, and there are so many books!! The staff and owner are fabulous and are great at recommending books as well as finding exactly what you need.

Very cozy small-town bookstore located in downtown! Within walking distance from resturants and other shopping. Little bit of everything to chose from and willing to order if they don't have it on hand. Now includes a coffee shop addition to the store! An excellent menu of drinks and snacks! I can highly recommend the wildberry smoothie!
