Boulder Coffee House and Bookstore
Yes, I’m a coffee house fanatic. I’ve been to every single coffee shop within a 50 mile radius of my home, and plan on searching some more. Some I love, some I hate. But, when it comes to bookstore coffee houses, there is one that is what I would consider ‘a smart investment made.’
The location of this bookstore is in Boulder, CO, and is just known as the Boulder Book Store. It’s in a quaint little area in downtown Boulder. You can’t miss it on the corner of the street.
In retrospect, I find that the problem with this bookstore coffee house is that it doesn’t pose an atmosphere, which I’m picky about. However, it has the most books and most lounge areas I’ve ever seen. For those that are thinking of starting a bookstore coffee house or are interested in ideas about them, this is a good plan.
The way that this coffee house is built is that it has two sections. One is the actual bookstore and the other is the coffee house, which is almost like a separate building, with only one entrance way from the book store. You can also go to the coffee house from the outside, where it doesn’t look like it is attached. A definite smart attraction for those that don’t read anymore.
Moving along… the bookstore is huge. It’s three floors full of fiction, non-fiction and kids books. Not only can you lounge in their cafe with your newly bought book, but you can also lounge in the ‘rooms’ they have built, each with sitting areas and different types of books in each room. It’s a combination of a place to buy and a place to enjoy yourself. Just don’t spill your coffee.
So, if any of you are ever in Boulder, Colorado, or want a great idea for a bookstore cafe, definitely look at the Boulder Bookstore.
