We were rescued from Bookstore in the Grove’s imminent closing in July when a local developer purchased it from the original owner, who was on the verge of retiring. Lucky us, because we did not want to part with this cozy, unpretentious spot that is perfect for reading, working, or studying for hours.

But since then Bookstore in the Grove has left its original location and rebranded itself as Bookstore + Kitchen. It has the perfect menu for a decadent breakfast or light lunch and bookshelves optimized for #shelfies, and pretty soon they’ll be offering beer, wine, and cards against humanity.
