I love spending days in a bookstore. This one was no exception. The smell of fresh brewed coffee welcomes you as you take a step in the door, which is one of my favorite things as well. There are three different floors and each has their own thing going for them. You enter on the middle floor, which has newer books and the coffee. The stairs to the basement floor can be seen as you enter and it is full of stacks of used books, which are sold base on number of books you buy and they get cheaper the more you buy! The third floor can be found by walking back toward the coffee. It is full of used kid books. The people working there are polite and actually ask if you need help finding anything.
This place has lots of charm and character. The coffee was delicious. I star missing because the used book section is too unorganized. Otherwise. Very nice.
Lovely place to sit and visit with a friend or love one over a cup of tea. Lots of books in all genres & new & used!! I love the patio area out back on beautiful days.
One of the only coffee shops in the river valley that serve real artifical coffee! And of course I love all the books!! 😍😍 fantastically quaint, a must see!
Best bookstore in the area, hands down.
Have always liked this place but this time I went in and ordered a mocha like always and the girl acted like she didnt know what I wanted, and what I got was not a mocha
I love her coffee. Walking through the bookstore makes you feel at home. She has some wonderful selections and several different topics. If youre in Van Buren I recommend her shop
My favorite part of junk days! Will be back!!
You can find almost any book youre looking for here! Multiple stories of books in a historic building, with a great little coffee shop.
They have SO MANY books, used and new! Great prices and an amazing selection. The upstairs has books and a little coffee bar. The bottom floor is books floor to ceiling. It reminds me of a shop that would be on Diagon Alley. If youre a book lover or a coffee lover, you will love this store!
Local favorite and must go to! Historic downtown vanburen atmosphere and attractions all around! Friendly staff and services! Beyond highly recommended!!!
Great coffee, wonderful spot.
Lovely shop so many things I want
Soooo....many books. Loved the coffee shop too.
Love our Chapters on Main St..
My absolute FAVORITE place to get coffee! Staff is so friendly and really takes time and interest in their customers!
Great atmosphere. Solid selection for a cozy little book store. Staff was warm and welcoming. Will be back.
Good selection and prices. Coffee is good service is friendly.
This is a really neat little bookstore. They have a decent sized library of used books downstairs, as well as new titles on the main level. There is also a childrens area upstairs with quite a few kids books. If you would like, they serve coffee and espresso drinks to drink while you browse or sit on the patio and read a good book. The staff (the guy working when I was there was named Nate) was really friendly too.
Quaint bookstore with amazing teas and coffee. The batista was warm and wanted to ensure our drinks were the best.
This is a great little small town book store and coffee shop. And hands down, the BEST coffee in town!! Lets continue supporting this small business so they can stay around. You dont see many book shops around anymore.
Great service, friendly staff and great variety.
Great coffee, really cozy and it was an amazing experience!! I got 15 books lol, I dont regret it at all.
Lovely bookstore! Great ambiance, nice place to hang out and drink coffee! Not much of a philosophy section, but lots of science fiction and fantasy. I think youll enjoy this place! 🙂✌️
Out for a day of shopping with my niece and ran onto this shop. I’ve always heard of “Chapters” but I’ve never been in it and I will be going back! Wonderful smells and aromas from the coffee and tea and nice people to visit with.
This business is incredibly important not only to our local economy but also to the people that live in the area! It fills so many needs, such as providing an authentic experience of reading and purchasing books, serving tasty foods and beverages, and offering socialization opportunities to the community in the way of fun events!
Amazing experience. Great staff and a glorious smell throughout... And the coffee was perfect!!!
One of my favorite place to visit. Coffee and good book all in one place.
Outstanding service
We go to Trivia Night there, its so much fun and the coffee shop is great! (Side note: I do think they should schedule more staff for trivia night though, because between the number of drink orders and hosting the game, I think thats too much work for just one person. She handles it like a champ, but you know thats gotta be stressful.)
Love this eclectic gem! Very organized yet very comfortable for browsing through what seems like millions of books! The coffee cafe is a perfect complement to the smell and feel of a haven for book lovers. I could spend days in here! 🤓
Wonderful place. Lots of books, and coffee too. Tea, they even have snacks and matcha.
Delicious coffee and adorable bookstore with reasonable prices. I love the used books section!
This is a newly discovered favorite. Its cozy, the coffee is delicious, and it made this little Harry Potter nerd super happy with its closet under the staircase. I recommend the Mexican mocha (forgive me, I know I got the name wrong) with chocolate, cinnamon, and chile!
Quaint. Well laid out in a vintage setting with a huge choice of books - new and used. Comfortable coffeeshop and good wifi. A nice quiet place to browse while sipping a chai.
Amazing, will definitely go again. Books for everyone, good coffee, and a great atmosphere. Couldnt ask for better service. I cant wait to take my soon, they even have an area for the little guys. If you havent gone, you should set some time aside to see it. Youll want to go back.
They were suppose to be hosting our book club meeting and had requested we spend at least $50 with them, there wasnt even enough pastries for all of us and the lady working didnt know anything about us coming. Im sure its a great bookstore, it was super cute and welcoming. But fail in the hosting department. Some of our ladies still purchased drinks on our way out. We relocated for our club meet.
I collect books, and was able to add to my collection at a very inexpensive price.
Organized friendly service. Be aware to have access to main book inventory you need to walk stairs
I have been going here for over a year and recommend this place for any newcomers or visitors that may pass by. Great selection of books and plenty of events to keep things interested. If you havent visited yet I suggest a quick stop for coffee and a good book.
Such a gem of a treasure! Who knew this quaint little store was here? Charming atmosphere, books galore! (New & Used) & a full service coffee/smoothie shopshop- definitely worth the visit
A cozy little coffee shop with an unexpecting 3 stories of books, pun intended.A large selection of both classics and new releases, mixed with the aroma of their fresh made coffee and snacks, mixed with the homey & inviting decor, beckon you to return time and time again.Be sure to stop by a soulful uplifting environment.
Wonderful!!! So cute. We had a little 2 yr old with us & we went upstairs to the kids room & put together puzzles & played with legos. So many books & they have coffee.
Very high quality selection. As in, when you look at the Sci-Fi, Fantasy, etc sections - they have the best books written by the legends of those genres. I was very impressed by that and Ive not really seen a selection like that in any bookstore. I feel the prices of the new books are a little high, but the used book prices are very reasonable. Massive selection of used books downstairs as well.
Awesome atmosphere where you can find a great book and have a nice cup. Helpful, friendly staff can point you in the right direction.
Great book store. Love the atmosphere. ❤ Great coffee😊Great selection of books. 📚
It was great, owner and staff were very helpful and and friendly. Bought some books drank a lot of delicious coffee. I will definitely be back in.
Absolutely Love, Love, Love this place! Great atmosphere, amazing books EVERYWHERE, and the staff is beyond amazing! Definitely on my short list of favorite spots!
Wonderful! Just what I would do for a bookstore of my own!
Cute little bookstore and coffee shop. A nice wide variety of literature at fair prices. Coffee shop staff were very friendly and the iced coffee was great.
Ive been to a lot of coffee shops, the service, atmosphere, coffee is absolutely amazing. If I could bottle it up and take it home I absolutely would. Most differently will recommend this place to everyone.
They made me the best cup of coffee I had since leaving home, and the young lady was so helpful and nice! A great place to stop for books and coffee!
I enjoyed the atmosphere and calming music. I just wish the books had a more organized sense about them. Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress style, ya feel.
One of my fave local bookstores!!!
The café is very cute and the employees are always willing to help, but the books can be disorganized, especially on the lower level. This is a nice place to go if youre not looking for anything in particular and youre willing to browse a bit.
Very homey, great friendly staff, lots and lots of books.
Try their different flavors of coffee and tea. Awesome coffee shop in the book store. Something for everyone.
Great selection of books. Great place to relax and read
Great place to get a coffee, browse the old booms, and even work with a laptop. Great find!
One of the best coffee shops I have had the privilege of patroning. My only criticism, if there is one to find, is that I could not find a book I was looking for...but this is okay because they probably did not have it. I know it is probably impossible to have a database but that would be nice to have.
They have the best iced lattes and the staff is awesome.
Nice place!
Excellent, its a place to chill out with ur friends, and enjoy a so good coffee, while u can read books of everything over there too.
So unique. Amazing book store
Everyone that works there is wonderful and kind, and the setting is very comfortable. The selection and prices are great too.
My coffee was just right!! Wonderful barista! Adorable shop!
Wonderful atmosphere, good coffee and all the books your heart desires. You can get new, used and even signed books here
Loved their store...perfect to have a coffee and some good read :)
A cozy little independent bookstore with good drinks and snacks.
The coffee is so much better than the local chain coffee. Youll wait a few minutes on your coffee but this gives you time to get lost in this amazing book store. We never leave without a new treasure.
Love it! Great selection and prices! And coffee, too!
This is the greatest bookstore/coffeeshop anywhere in northwest Arkansas and they deserve a lot more attention and consideration for the quality of products they supply to the visitors of Main Street Van Buren Arkansas!!! They also have a great staff and the owners of this fine establishment deserve all of our community support and appreciation!!! GREAT JOB WITH THIS PLACE - Malachi and Christian!!!
Excellent coffeeshop, great service. Well worth a visit!!
A wonderful little place to enjoy some quiet peace and a good book with some refreshing coffee.
Top notch coffee! Great service! Awesome little bookstore that you can use for a great hangout spot!
I cannot say enough about this place.Sometimes I come in just for the coffee. How many places can you order a machiatto, and, if it isnt perfect, they will happily remake it for you.
Great collection of old books as well as a new upper floor reading lounge with updated books, baristas, and kids room.
Cool bookshop with delicious coffee shop inside. The trivia nights are also great.
Special place
Chapters on Main is a wonderful store in Van Buren! With it being such a short drive from Fort Smith it is no doubt worth it to get the best coffee around plus more books than you can imagine.
Love the coffee. Decent Prices on books
Fantastic dark chocolate latte! Nice place and atmosphere!
Awesome coffee drinks AND books. What could be better!
Great spot for local flavor of gormet coffee. I highly highly recommend it to anyone interested in good coffee
Lots of books at good prices! Awesome coffee!
Wonderful place to stop and enter a world of books
3 stories of books, and coffee. Two of my favorite things. Employees are nice as well.
Love their scones and lattes.
Adorable, little place. Do it. Go here. Its sweet!
