Chapter Book Lounge

If they were hiring and I lived closer, I would apply to work here because I really never wanted to leave! First, the aesthetic of this place just transported me to far away places. The wooden tables of various shapes and sizes, the darker colors of the space, the color pops of books, and selection of additional book related items. This place is dreamy. On top of it all, they offer beverages, sweet treats, AND snacks. What's not to love? My only disappointment is that the space isn't bigger because (and gladly so) it was popular and packed! It was a Saturday and the reader in me felt particularly happy to see a bustling book store. Aside from this, I want to give a special shout out to Taylor who worked behind the bar. Taylor, a local author, spent time making conversation and after finding out I set out to write my own book provided thoughtful and encouraging pointers. It was the motivation I needed that day! Thank you Taylor for making my day! I want to make a point of making the drive back at least once a month because this place just makes my heart sing. That's all.

I have been dying to stop by Chapter Book Lounge. It's a cute curated bookstore. Most of the books they had were popular/viral books, which I think is great if you are looking for a must read. Those "popular" books are also great conversation starters so it fits with the concept of this shop. I LOVE that they had a selection of used books. We went on a Friday night around 7PM and I really had no clue what to expect. It was busy but we were still able to find a spot to sit. I do think they could use more seating but I'm not sure where? They have a variety though, couches, chairs, large tables, small two tops, and a couple seats at the bar. The drinks were good, I got the toasted marshmallow espresso martini and my husband got the bourbon mule, both were strong so well worth the money :). Overall this was a very comfortable and cozy experience. I'd love to come back earlier in the day to try some of their other non cocktail drinks.

2025 is my year to visit as many locally owned book stores and coffee shops as possible. Chapter Book Lounge is currently ranked as my top fav in the book store category - and that's not the yummy cocktails talking. I had heard multiple rave reviews about CBL so my book nerd girlfriends and I came here for a Friday Eve girl date. The space is THE CUTEST - new and used books lining one wall and sitting on displays throughout, a kids book section complete with the BEST books, cutely curated book themed gifts, jigsaw puzzles, stickers - all my literature loving heart could want. Then, there were the cocktails. Chef's kiss. We tried 8-9 of their offerings between us - most from the featured menu as we were told the "seasonal" drinks were going to change the next day. Everything we had was delicious - with favorites being the espresso old fashioned, the margaritas, the martinis, and one 'spritz' type potion. Drinks were between $11-$17, which seems pretty standard these days. They also offer mocktails, coffees, and some desserty/snack options. I also want to try the bottomless truffle popcorn next time!It was super bustling and busy even at 430pm on a Friday - feeling more like a fun cocktail spot than a bookstore at that time of day/evening. We were lucky to score spots on the couch and surrounding chairs, but it was standing room only for some folks. You can join their annual membership for $100 and receive sweet swag and deals. For free, you also earn loyalty points for each purchase ($1 = 1 point, earning a $10 off coupon for every $100 spent). One thing to look forward to: CBL merch! Of note, there is no real parking situation aside from street parking and perhaps a nearby parking garage - so don't get discouraged! Cannot wait for my next visit and we hope to take advantage of renting some of the space for upcoming book club events, too!

This is the cutest local bookstore! Went on a Friday night with friends & it was packed by the evening! The drinks were delicious & the charcuterie board was yummy! Have a wide range of novels for adults & kids. Staff are very friendly. Used to be an old clock shop so you'll see clocks around the store to pay homage to it. Plan to go here for our monthly book clubs! Plus you'll be helping young female business owners! Recommend to go earlier in the night so that you can more so find a seat.

What an adorable addition to the old town in Noblesville! It looked so inviting from the outside that we couldn't wait to get inside. Even on a Thursday afternoon, the shop was bustling with activity. The interior is very cozy, with a few comfortable chairs and barstools where customers can sit and chat. The selection of books is wonderful, featuring a mix of popular classics and up-and-coming titles, along with a great variety of used books. The staff was friendly and overly apologetic about some new stock that was taking up table space. We enjoyed a drink while we browsed, and both were delightful. They offer a fantastic range of beverages, not just alcoholic ones. This shop is well worth a trip to Noblesville!

Our book club wanted to go to a boozy bookstore for our January meeting. Chapter Book Lounge was perfect. I got the Hot to go co and it was delicious. It was so cozy and perfect. We had popcorn and sat and chatted in their lounge space. It is not a huge store and was quite crowded while we were there. The drinks and food were a little pricey but were definitely good. The service was wonderful at the store. We will definitely be back.

I really liked the idea behind this, but unfortunately the place was simply swamped with people when we came here in the fall of 2024, and because of that, I don't feel like I got a good look. The drinks we had were nice, but I think the main thing this place could use is a little additional seating. Maybe on a less busy day, the need for that wouldn't be so bad, but it definitely was on the day we came.

Newly opened bookstore/cafe/bar in downtown Noblesville. There is one wall lined with books (new and used), some small gift items - and coffee, cocktails and wine to sip. The store was very busy when I stopped by to check it out - I think there was also some sort of a craft event happening at the same time on the square. There are some seating options in the front of the store and a bar area in the back.The book selection is not my taste - neither is the decor and the vibe. I likely won't be returning here - but I am sure others will like it, and there are plenty of other new bookstores/cafes in Indy I enjoy.

Saw this on Instagram and decided to host our bookclub here. Loveeeee! The store is super cute and a great addition to the charm of the Square. I ordered a croissant and a fun take on an espresso martini. This cocktail was delicious and the croissant was super soft and warm. The staff was really friendly, and you could tell they spend time and attention on the details. The space was perfect for Bookclub although you may want to plan ahead or book a space if you have a large group. I enjoyed finishing our time by browsing the collection of books, which helped us pick our next read. Would definitely go back!

A beautiful space in downtown Noblesville with books used and new and an impressive drink and wine list. Cute gifts too. I will be back for my favorite wine!
