Reviews for Southland Books and Cafe in Maryville, TN
Wonderful, cozy, comfy, calming bookstore. Large selection, something for everyone. Friendly staff, but they also leave you... alone to browse. There are chairs amongst the book aisles that you could sit in & read. There?s a cafe with a little diningarea, also worth a visit. I had the Oppenheimer sandwich, it was fresh & delicious! Read more
UPDATE: some prices are better and they have Destroyer books. Can?t be all bad. OLD REVIEW 3 years ago: Lots of books but I... feel prices are a little too high. Read more
This will quickly become one of your favorite places to grab a bite! Delicious food, decadent desserts, and an impressive... assortment of coffee, tea and lemonade will brighten your day and fill your tummy! Their vegan menu is the best I have seen andthey are affordable!! Also, the book store has an awesome selection and the nicest staff!! Read more
This is a local gem consisting of a diverse and eclectic selection of used books, with a cute little cafe attached. The food... and drinks are appropriately book themed, and offers vegan options as well. The organized-by-category shelving system isoverwhelming as every good small town used book store should be because who has time to alphabetize? It?s like stepping back intime with the ringing bell as you enter and the click clack of the worn, wooden floor. I?ll come back. Yea I will. Read more
Extremely messy and disorganized. Owner was very rude when I tried to tap to pay, as the door to the bookstore has a sticker... saying they support Apple Pay. Acted like I was an idiot. As a small local bookstore you think they?d be more receptive to thosetrying to buy from them. Would not recommend. Read more
I would say it's a great atmosphere as I love the bookstore cafe combo. But the lack of newer books is less than desirable. The... vast majority of these books are by authors I've never heard of with titles that match but still worth a visit. Might find andold gem you didn't know about. Read more
I am very thankful to have found this cafe so close to where I live! Delicious plant-based options, including desserts!
If you're looking for a cool local spot, this is both as cool and local as it gets. There is something for everyone there. I've... been a longtime customer going back to the original location in the 1990's. It has evolved from a book/used cd store to agrowing hub of variety and options for our neighborhood. Great food and drink in the cafe to enjoy while sitting down with agood book or meeting up with a friend. I personally enjoy thumbing through the vinyl records and chatting with the friendlystaff. Highly recommended. Read more
