Very friendly and welcoming. The coffee is fantastic and the books are great. If they don't have what you're looking for, they'll get it ordered and delivered super fast.
This was a very interesting shop, definitely had a great small shop feel. The coffee bar in the back is great, lots of choices. The boom section was pretty good but I think there was a way to order a book if you're looking for something specific. It was a fun shop that I'd visit again
Good drinks, great prices and I am waiting for the music. He is warming up and it sounds promising. This is a quick drive from home in Battle Creek and well worth the trip.
I love coming here when able. Good coffee, friendly staff and of course good books to read next to the fireplace! Thanks Jim!
This was my first time in Sterling and I was super disappointed. The girls at the counter were super rude and I paid $5 for what was supposed to be an iced vanilla latte but it tasted far from it. Not to mention the girl was working with other customers and around the space and grabbed the top of my straw, the part that goes in my mouth, with her bare hands and puts it right in my drink. I heard great things but unfortunately didn’t experience them.
STIRLING Books & Brew is a shining example of positive community spirt. Jim and Staci do an amazing job of having a wonderful showroom full of many many books ranging from the high fantasy of Tolkien all the way down to local authors of Albion. They have a EXCELLENT variety of tasty hot/cold drinks and snacks, as well as ice cream which is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. But most importantly, the space is used to showcase members of the community that want to interact with its people. There’s always something going on at STIRLING so definitely give them a look and pick up a coffee and a good book to read. TLDR: 10/10 experience Coffee is great Books are fairly priced More parking in back if none on street.
Nice quaint place.
Great coffee and friendly staff.
Awesome place to be
One of the best places to go in Albion.
Fantastic
We had very good ice cream. Found many interesting books to buy that we've never seen anywhere else. Enjoyed wonderful program by an author originally from Albion.
Trivia night Fridays at 7pm. Great atmosphere, very welcoming. Great drinks.
Great event on Saturday with the princess and prince day! My granddaughter loved it!
Cozy atmosphere, with multiple types of seating, and wonderful bubble tea and great coffee. I have bought honey, books, and enjoyed a dance performance and poetry reading here. Unlike a chain coffee shop Stirling is a part of the community regularly hosting local events. My favorite place in Albion.
This place is awesome, the staff is friendly and the drinks are great! They have a great selection of books too, including some of my favorites like “A Series of Unfortunate Events”.
Cutest place I’ve ever had the pleasure of stumbling across. Great coffee drinks and cute eclectic book collection. The owner is very nice as well.
I loved it in here and everyone was so nice and they carry my favorite ice cream, lemon bar cheesecake
Nice quiet place to relax & hangout..but teen/young adult staff are RUDE (though polite to your face)& GOSSIP CRUELY about elderly customers.
Extremely nice people the owners are very sweet and friendly, the bubble tea my girl friend loves is really good all the type she's gotten so far, and the smoothies are also amazing and affordable. They have many pastries and there all good especially the cookies. there's also an amazing selection of books you can buy and just sit down and read while relaxing. Truly a humble and relaxing place.
