Books and Beans

Books and Beans is literally one of my favorite places to be. The coffee is amazing, the baristas take their time with each latte. They use Counter Culture coffee, which tastes great. Their sandwiches have so much flavor! The owners happen to be pretty cool too.

Books and Beans is such a refreshing place to stop and grab a bite and a cup of coffee. The atmosphere is so light and inviting, and the dirty chai latte is otherworldly. I met the owner on my most recent visit, and she is an absolute delight - so it’s not surprising her shop is too! I just wish I lived closer so I could stop in more often!

Such a beautiful coffee shop with delicious sandwiches and coffee! I stopped in with my family for a quick breakfast and we were so impressed. Lovely atmosphere and amazing service. They forgot to ring up an item we ordered and while it wasn’t an issue at all, they brought us the item on the house anyways. Thank you again!

As a coffee enthusiast I can say that I LOVE Books and Beans. It is a pleasant location where your day can get started with a nice cup of coffee ,a sandwich and a great atmosphere. It's is your place, if you want to just read a book or enjoy time with friends.♥️☕🥞📚

Coffee was far too hot and lacked any real flavor. It tasted like it came out of a button pressed machine instead of actually being mixed together. The sandwiches themselves were pretty good, so try those. They really need some sort of music for background noise to cut through the clatter of plates and other patrons. I'd also ask them to work with The Mills for better signage. We simply wandered in and had no idea what was in the building, unlike the other breweries and food places.

This is a place that I wish existed back when I lived in Rocky Mount. If they would work on their coffee drinks, and not serve them is hot as they do, they would certainly be a contender regardless of the city they exist in. If you miss the coffee shop on Sunset, this is certainly a replacement.

I love coming here for a variety of reasons, whether it’s to do some school work or meet with a friend, the atmosphere is always pleasant, inside or outside. Everything is delicious, but the lattes, chai tea, and great gatsby sandwich are my favorites. Staff are always friendly and keep the place nice and clean. Love having this place in our community.

Quaint, well-designed space. Very friendly staff.

Had the egg & cheese on brioche. I appreciate coffee shops who serve a savory breakfast option.

My iced dirty chai was a little sweet, but good.

Had lunch today here with my sister and my mom. We were celebrating my mom’s birthday. The food was absolutely delicious!! The service was the best. The atmosphere was so nice. They have inside and outside seating. I highly recommend Books and Beans! The staff is so nice and friendly. Can’t say anything negative about this place. It is a must to dine in soon.

This is a cool modern rustic place with great coffee and food. The interior is spacious. The service was great. The atmosphere was super chill. You can grab a book to read while you sip and unwind.

Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Breakfast options are all delicious. My son loved the hot cocoa. Staff is very pleasant and accommodating. Highly recommend!
