  • Guess who's back - besides the real Slim Shady and JT? Although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing the old Visible Voice, their new space is a revamped, contemporary store with all the trappings of a 21st century literary salon: books, seating, coffee, of course the two crucial "w's" - wine and Wi-Fi. You can access the store by way of the Crust street-facing entrance, where you'll follow literary quotes up a set of stairs. Or, you can park in the designated parking in back and climb the open-air staircase directly to the store, avoiding the aromatic temptations of cheese and tomato sauce. The half of the store that functions as a cafe consists of several small tables, probably good for two laptops at most, but of a sturdy industrial steel and lacquered wood. No coffee or wine shall stain these surfaces, regardless of the coasters emblazoned with Murakami quotes. They have a small selection of coffee and tea, as well as artisan pastries. Wine and beer are available by the glass or bottle. Unfortunately it doesn't have that comfy lounge vibe that invites people to stay and catch-up with a long-lost friend (while everyone else listens in), but it's exactly the sort of spot you could curl up alone with a good book and bottle of beer. The rest of the store is classic bookstore, simple earthy color blocks interrupted by vivid book covers and posters. Despite being limited by the square footage, Visible Voice manages to pack quite a few genres into the space including recent bestsellers, textbooks, and movies. Apparently they also buy back gently used books that "fit the aesthetic of the store". Had too much coffee or vino while perusing the shop? Not to worry, there is in fact a single restroom on the cafe side. Like the rest of the store, it's sparse, clean, and not oft-frequented yet. I've only ever seen one or two employees at a given time in the store, and they didn't seem very chatty. But hopefully business picks up because it'd be a shame to let this new space go to waste!
