. "1"^^ . . "I used to frequent a bookstore/cafe a lot, but it's been closed for a couple years now so you can imagine my delight when I happened by Bell's Cafe & Bookstore. There's something about the combination of a bookstore and cafe that is extremely inviting and intriguing. I guess it's just nice to know that you can sit down and enjoy your coffee without staring at the wall.\n\nThere are a few tables to enjoy your time at, some nestled right in the back beside all the books. There's also shelves and shelves of different books to choose from, so you can probably find something worth a read. Books aside, they also have some gifts for sale. You can buy mugs and cups, and teapots and steepes. If the books aren't enough to satisfy your boredom, they also have wireless internet and a newly opened art studio in the basement.\n\nThey have a large selection of baked goods like carrot cake, muffins, cookies, cheesecake, etc., all for a pretty decent price. The coffees come in four different sizes and are serve-yourself. They're pretty trusting in there since someone could buy a small, but take and fill a large cup. I guess they trust their patrons.\n\nThe ladies working there were extremely cute and super nice. They didn't seem annoyed that I was a newb and didn't quite know what I was doing. In fact, they laughed with me when I finally realized I could serve my own coffee.\n\nA cafe and bookstore is just such a good idea in my mind, and this place definitely hits the spot. It's so quaint and adorable I think anyone would love it!"^^ . . "0"^^ . "2009-12-20T00:00:00"^^ . "5"^^ . "4"^^ .
