I have been to the Book Nook several times. It is a unique place. Love the music!
Great place l went to grab some breakfast and looked around the store while I was waiting. Had a breakfast bowl with eggs potato spinach sausage was very good. A nice place they do have a patio where you can eat and drink but at the moment your not able to eat inside. Would happily go back really nice place.
Wonderful little Bookstore and Cafe in out of the way Montague Michigan. Good selection of books for it's size, wonderful ambiance and good food and wine. And friendly bookstore dog too.
