About this business

When moseying along Chapel Street, stop into this popular student (but not exclusively) hangout. Here, it's a toss up between what's more fun; the excellent selection of homemade soups, salads and sandwiches, gourmet coffees and sweet pastries, or the titles that cover almost every subject known to publishing. Sunny seating makes this a cozy stop in any season, and a great place to peek into when downtown.

This place has some of the best staff I’ve ever seen on the East Coast. Donald was kind and patient. He took the time to listen and engage with my son which meant so much to a young man who struggles socially with autism. Food was amazing, coffee was brilliant.

Friendly and with delicious coffee (I love their lattes), house-made muffins and other great eats. Plus an excellent selection of used books. Exploring is always fun at Book Trader.
