The Book Nook & Java Shop has been the heart and soul of downtown Montague since 2002.

We offer the most current New York Times bestsellers as well as intriguing “new finds” to ensure a stimulating book-shelf perusal every time you visit.  Whether you are looking for a popular new fiction read, current events, a cook book or children’s books we’re sure you will be delighted in our appealing selections.  If you can’t find what you are looking for on our shelves you can select from our over 40,000 titles on our website or have a staff member special order the book for you.

Join friends, surf the web, or curl up in a comfy chair with a book while you enjoy a hot beverage from our espresso bar.  We also boast a delicious selection of fresh pastries, teas & smoothies.
