Read Shop

Cutest bookshop ever. A nice addition to lower Greenville for sure! I got an iced chai with oatmilk and it was so refreshing since it was pretty hot out. We came in the afternoon so all the pastries were sold out. Great selection of books! Only issue is not much seating. We parked ourselves in the window sill as my daughter needed to work on her homework. Look forward to how this bookshop will develop!

This place is super cute! Lots of fun knick knacks to look at. I got a chocolate muffin towards the end of the day and it was delicious and 50% off! Not sure if that is a normal end of the day discount they do but it was a happy surprise for me!

First timer: Probably the cutest coffee shop I've been to in DFW area. It has quite a bit of merchandise (candles, books, stickers, etc.) however it wasn't overwhelming seeing as it was extremely neat, organized, and allowed plenty of room to still move around. Staff is all friendly (there were only two present when I entered). Upstairs displayed art and more decor. The iced latte I ordered was good and strong. There are dairy alternatives however they weren't displayed on the menu, and they were sold out of a few things when I popped in. All in all. Great vibe.

The cutest little book shop with great tasting coffee. The barista was super nice and helpful. I had the Iced Cinnamon roll oat latte for $6.50.

Looking at the reviews, I think I went to a different place. All these 4 and 5 star reviews, and I honestly don't see it. Only one review mirrored what I felt when going in. First things first, it is a very cute place. Aesthetically pleasing, well organized/clean, and friendly staff. But that's about all it has going for it. The drinks we got were mediocre at best. There's a huge display for what I'm assuming should be holding some kind of food/pastries but it sat empty on a Saturday afternoon. For a store called the READ shop, there's actually no place to sit and READ. The two windows on the first floor have a ledge that you can sit on, and upstairs there a couch for 2, and another little sitting area, again for 2. They have a handful of high-top bars that you can put your drink on and flip through a book but that about it. They have a decent kids book area upstairs but no place for said kids to actually sit/interact. Majority of the other books are coffee table books, or some sort of picture book. The way that it's advertised on social media makes it seem like something it's not. This is no book lover's friend, this is not hangout friendly, it's fairly useless unless you want to pop in for a drink and look at picture books while standing. If you want some place to catch up with a friend, so even to simply sit and read while drinking your coffee, you're better off at a Starbucks or local coffee house. All the social medial posts and high rated reviews are deceiving, in my opinion.

My coffee was really good, and this shop has some really cute items for sale! There's some seating downstairs, upstairs is all standing table benches

Although the curated book selection may be worth a visit, I do not recommend the coffee shop. My dirty chai was watery and bitter with little chai flavor, and my pastry was both tasteless and stale.

What an awesome book and coffee shop! Amazing curation of fascinating books and creative gifts. Coffee was outstanding - the best pumpkin spice latte in Dallas.

Perfect addition to the neighborhood. Great concept with amazing coffee table books and gifts. Excellent coffee is just a bonus.

Great shop!! So many unique books, I loved the matcha here. Such a fun concept. Only critique I wish there were more chairs rather than bar tops.
