Sebastian’s Bakery
Some of the pastries in our case come straight from Sebastian’s, a local bakery we love. Cinnamon rolls, tarts, turnovers, and whatever else they’ve pulled out of the oven that week.
the café
Sip, read, stay a while.
More than a bookstore. The coffee is strong, the pastries are warm, and there is always a good book within arm’s reach.
Picture this: a vintage armchair, a lavender latte, and a stack of books you’ve been meaning to get to. That’s a Tuesday at It’s a Love Story. The café is tucked right inside the bookstore, so you can browse the shelves, grab a drink, and settle in for as long as you want. No rush, and no judgment if you stay until closing.
Meeting a friend, sneaking in a solo reading session, or just in need of a quiet corner and some caffeine? This is your spot.

The local favorites behind the case
Las Brasas
Our breakfast burritos are made by Las Brasas. Sausage, bacon, chorizo, or veggie, wrapped and ready for the reader who skipped breakfast to get here early.
The house croffle
Our own croissant-waffle, pressed to order and rolled in cinnamon sugar. It is the thing people come back for, and the reason the café smells the way it does.
We are a small café inside a bookstore, so we keep the menu short and lean on people who do one thing brilliantly.
