Fabled Bookshop & Cafe

The place is wonderful. So many books, a cafe type bar where you can get drinks, two hours access to the wifi via a code, comfortable chairs, and even a children's section. There is a little Door to Narnia in the hall that goes into the children section as well. The people were very kind and sweet.

Great book store in Waco! Highly recommend .

Very nice book store with a great selection to offer. However, the only problem is that the staff at the cafe has a really bad attitude and were very jaded, dismissive, rude to my family from the very start. We came to visit a few days later, witnessed exactly the same negativity to another customer. Clearly not worth the bad vibes. Hope this staff changes in the future.

This is the indie bookstore everyone wishes they had in their town! I always make a point to visit indie bookstores when I travel, and Fabled is still my favorite. It’s clearly created and designed by book lovers. It’s intentional, cozy, and the book displays are always a delight.

Their coffee and bar make fantastic drinks, and there’s seating all around the store. Plus, every person on the staff is friendly. This is a place that feels safe and always makes you fall more in love with reading.

Such a neat place. We had a great time with the puzzles, the drinks and the books!

Great local bookshop, lots of character, special area for the kids. Good alternative to Amazon especially if you like the smell of books and coffee and supporting local business. Highly recommend.

Its so beautiful inside and there's little nooks and lots of places to read or work. They have a wide selection of books and just stepping inside makes me want to buy an excessive amount.

Good coffee, drinks and even prosecco on tap!! Their gift section is lovely and creative. Support your local book stores!!

This may be my favorite spot in all of Waco. I love that they have so many "Staff Picks" and recommendations, and you have to try one of the book-themed drinks!

My wife and I bought a bottle of wine here. The nice gals behind the bar gave us the bottle and a couple of glasses. After pouring the wine we realized it was cold. They had refrigerated it. We went back to the counter and asked them if it was in a fridge and they confirmed. We then explained how red wines like their cab are not served chilled. They promptly gave us a replacement bottle that was room temp perfection. No complaints. The wine was awesome and the atmosphere was perfect. We’ll definitely be back!
