What’s more inviting than an independent bookstore/coffee shop combo? Get comfy with a warm cup of freshly brewed coffee and explore the curated bookshelves. Tables in the café section are perfect for plugging in to do some work or meeting up with a friend. They even have a family-friendly children’s nook. Along with a robust menu of coffee and tea, Daughters offers specials like a cinnamon bun latte and literary-themed seasonal drinks. Baked goods, like muffins and croissants from Ninth Street Bakery, add an even sweeter reason to stop and stay a while. Daughters’ is a welcome addition to Greenwood Commons, which is also home to longtime tenants True Flavors Diner and The Glass Jug Beer Lab.

As a big reader and coffee lover this spot is my heaven. Daughters, while small, has a good selection of books across all genres and I always find something! They also have a lot of cute bookish merch and trinkets that rotate. The coffee shop portion is fantastic with an extensive menu. The beverages I have gotten are always so good and I love the seasonal rotation. They have lots of tables to sit at and it’s a great atmosphere. I also like the various book club and events they host.

Perfect for grabbing a great book and a beverage and enjoying some time reading or catching up with a friend!

I’m so glad I discovered Daughters Coffee & Books after I took my dog to nearby Quartet Veterinary Specialty Hospital. What started as a quick stop for coffee turned into two visits in two days.

This little shop is exactly the kind of local business I love to find. It’s part coffee shop, part independent bookstore, with a thoughtfully curated mix of new and used books, pastries, gifts, stickers, and other fun finds. I ended up leaving with coffee and a pastry both days, and, of course, a few books.

What also stood out were the people working there. The staff was genuinely kind and welcoming both times I visited, which made an already cozy place feel even more special. During a stressful couple of days involving our sweet dog facing surgery, it was a comforting place to spend some time.

If it were closer to home, I’d become a regular. I can’t wait for my next excuse to visit.

Such a lovely coffee shop and bookstore! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and I absolutely love that they have a dedicated space for kids to play. As a mom, it makes such a difference to be able to enjoy a cup of coffee and browse around while my little one has a safe and fun space to play. It’s such a thoughtful idea and makes this place especially welcoming for moms and families. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

The coffee shop and bookstore was a bit crowded on a rainy day so I didn’t get very many photos or a chance to get a drink, but it’s a very pleasant environment that I would say is a little bit more coffee shop than bookstore, but the bookstore selection was still decent given the amount of space. I’d like to come back for one of their events.

Cute local coffee shop and book store. They host lots of different activities/events. Spent the evening with my daughter doing ceramic painting. Met some interesting people and witnessed some incredible artists.
