Visiting from Texas and my wife wanted to check this place out for a drink. She had the Queen's Gambit and it was fantastic. Staff and managers all very courteous and helpful. Highly recommend!

Super cute, unique setting, great craft cocktails and delicious brunch selections. We had the biscuits and gravy and the hot chicken and waffles. Aside from the potatoes being a bit under cooked, everything was really delicious and perfectly portioned. I would definitely go again if I am in the area. I loved the library setting and the display of books on the tables. Our service was outstanding !

Quant yet comfortable vibey place for brunch food and drinks. with creative dishes and drinks to complement any vibe especially if your looking for a Sunday funday vibe with fam and friends. You know the vibes????

Food was fabulous. Our table ordered a massive BLT, eggs Benedict, monte crisco sandwich and breakfast tacos. We were disappointed that only the brunch menu was available during the lunch hour on a Saturday. Our food arrive before cocktails but which was frustrating but they did taste good. If you are feeling adventurous they have an incredibly spicy Bloody Mary.

Came into town to visit my daughter, and we decided on this place for brunch. We were greeted right away. We didn’t have reservations so we opted for the bar. The bar staff was awesome! Super friendly and gave us great choices of what to order. All in all I enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back!

It was my first time visiting. My mom and I went for lunch. Very nice environment. I love to read, so the books on every table was pretty cool. I was actually going to attempt to read a little, but when I opened the book all the pages were blank and it seems as if the customers were able to write their own story on the pages. You get to read what others had written in previous times, that was pretty awesome.Our waitress was very sweet, but quite inattentive. The day must have been going pretty slow for the staff, because they were grouped together talking and eating.But that should give you more of a reason to be attentive to the customers that are there.Other than that great food and very nice atmosphere. I’d visit again.

Came here for brunch (posted menu because I couldn’t find one before I came). Cute coffee shop feel though I suggest making a reservation to get in quickly. Mimosas are good and comes in different flavors. Service was great. Hollandaise was good but a little runny (I’m always chasing that perfect Benedict) and my hubby was sad that there were no biscuit and gravy on a stick. He ended up enjoying his breakfast pizza.

PHENOMENAL. Came here for a Valentine's night out with my boyfriend and best friends, and it was incredible!The menu is diverse enough to eat here for all kinds of occasions. It may be a bit expensive for some people's taste, but you get what you pay for--and in this case, it's DAMN good food. I had a hard time choosing because everything just looked so appetizing. (I will add pictures of some of the food, if I can find them.)For those of you going for the cocktails, I will say beware! I am a lightweight, and was tipsy after one...normally I can handle one cocktail with my mental faculties intact. Everyone is different, of course, but I thought that may be helpful information. My drink was delicious, nonetheless!I cannot recommend Novellus enough.

The environment was great and staff was very friendly. They had a short brunch menu, & they stated they were not serving a couple of items on the menu, so options were few. But overall a great experience.

Definitely a stop for the adventurer in fun, spirits and cuisine. It's more intimate and personal than the other places around. We enjoyed the drunken shrimp and the house made toasted ravs (stuffed with crab and shrimp). They have many vegan selections as well. Hit up their happy hour with 1/2 price apps or throw the dice on their $5 open book specials.
