Reviews
I was really let down by the Upstart Crow, actually I was a little heartbroken. Being an avid reader I ADORE bookstores and love exploring them for hours on end. After searching through Yelp I saw the incredible reviews for this particular place and was so excited to visit! I'd just finished my last book and needed to purchase a new one so Upstart Crow looked like the perfect place to do this, I could even grab a coffee to enjoy while browsing! Utterly disappointing. Yes the Upstart Crow has some books, they have some beautiful notebooks including some incredible leather bound pieces, they have some young adult fiction, a few kids books, cook books and whatever scattered about but mostly this store contains gifts and trinkets. Gone was my expectation of grabbing a delicious coffee and perusing the aisles, searching for the perfect novel. Instead I found myself looking at novelty gifts and other such things. If you want a gift store or to grab some coffee and a bite- yes go to Upstart Crow. If you come here expecting to browse through books, don't waste your time.

I wish I had known before driving an hour and coming from Los Angeles to visit my favorite “bookstore”. It’s no longer a bookstore, the employees weren’t very friendly at the cafe and it is no longer the cozy, relaxing, warm and inviting bookstore I had come to love. Very sad, they really need to rebrand now that it’s become a weird novelty coffee shop. You’ll probably spend a few minutes here now as opposed to really enjoying an afternoon.

Fun place to come visit, but the se vice was less than acceptable. The employee gave short answers to questions and did not seem like they wanted to be there. Did not present a welcoming feeling.

Really cool, quirky place with great coffee. Sadly, no WiFi. I recommend the Mexican chocolate mocha!

This isn't a bookstore. I asked a barista at the coffee bar, who said they sold out of most of their books at a recent sale and were slowly trying to build up stock. That doesn't even make sense. All they have are tourist tchotskeys. :(
