Morgenstern's Bookstore Café

They have the best drink specials, I can always find something there I love, from books to puzzles to notebooks to vendor made items everything is stocked with love and care

I like the bookstore, but I wish the coffee shop was a little better. Their coffees are priced higher than other coffee shops in town and the quality of their coffees is lower. You go to Crumble or Soma, etc. you’re going to find a much higher quality coffee that are about 20% less money. It’s a bummer because it’s the perfect place for a nice coffee shop.Also, why haven’t coffee shops caught on the lactose free milk options that are available? It’s so weird to me. Grocery stores sell lactose free milk that’s not soy or almond milk. It’s just normal milk with an enzyme to take out the lactose, and stores have been selling this for years. Yet, any coffee shop you go to doesn’t offer this. Soy and almond milk are NOT good alternatives. People just get them because they’re the only alternative that coffee shops offer. It makes no sense why coffee shops don’t offer this.

Amazingly cozy and clean bookstore and coffeeshop. Very friendly staff, I wish I had known about this place sooner

Love this place! Since moving to Bloomington, it's become my go to hideaway.

Lovely bookstore that is loved by all in Bloomington!
