Book + Bottle

Easily my favorite spot in St. Pete to find a gift, get the perfect book recommendation, invite a friend for a coffee or happy hour, or get a couple hours of remote work done. They even have some gluten-free and vegan snacks! Truly a rare “third place.” For me it’s not just a cafe or bookstore or wine shop, it’s more like a community hub where I can meet people with common interests, attend events, learn about books and authors and wine, and be inspired. The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for being part of what makes St. Pete feel like home!

What a completely different experience! We made the drive from Tampa to St. Pete for a sister bookstore date, and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuinely friendly staff. They immediately made us feel welcome, started conversations with us, and even asked what kinds of books we enjoy reading. Not only did they offer to help with the café menu and answer any questions, but they also took the time to recommend and bring out a few books they thought we’d love based on our interests. That level of personalized service made our visit feel so special. The welcoming atmosphere, excellent customer service, and thoughtful recommendations made this one of the best bookstore experiences we’ve had. We’ll absolutely be making the drive from Tampa to St. Pete again just to visit. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for a bookstore that truly makes you feel at home!

This is my favorite independent book and wine store ever! So warm and welcoming - even the patrons were visiting and sharing recommendations with each other. Dominic was amazing! He asked thoughtful questions to understand what my interests were then helped me find Sauvignon Blancs and some excellent books to add to my list. Best experience and a must for anyone working their way through the independent bookstores of Tampa/St. Pete!

This is exactly the bookstore / third space I want. Part bookstore part wine bar part coffee shop with cool events. Visited with several friends during a book crawl. Had to park a few streets away downtown and walk. The staff chatted and already knew some friends on the artists scenes. They gave great recommendations, made delicious lattes, poured some much needed wine while we sat and chilled for a while. Beautiful bookstore to hang with adult friends.

Such a charming little spot! Wine, books, and nibbles. What more could you ask for? It has a smart, bookish feel, but it’s lively and social rather than hushed and library-like. A great place to catch up with the girls over a glass of wine and browse a mix of literary fiction, romance, and nonfiction, plus plenty of fun bookish gifts and knickknacks. Everyone working there was so friendly and helpful!
