The 9,000 square foot, Mediterranean-style building has original tile floors, a fireplace, beamed ceilings, floor-to-ceiling dark-wood bookshelves, and open-air courtyard and a full-service cafe. Our breezeway holds a newsstand with a wide selection of national and international newspapers and magazines.

Books and Books is a great place to both buy books and have coffee at the same time. Unlike Barnes and Nobles, this place has a small family style feel so you can browse the selections with ease and stop for a nice cappuccino. We left with two books. I do think the pastries are a bit expensive. Always ask the prices before you buy!. Overall great experience.
