Stopped by on a super hot day and was treated to excellent beer and service. First, for free, they let me try their coffee stout -- delicious! Then we were able to get great food truck food (such a good bratwurst and my daughter had mac and cheese) and sit at White Street, where I had a delicious pilsner for less than $5! They were super cool about letting my underage daughter hang out and provided pint glasses of ice water! What a great place.

We are a locally-owned independent bookstore in historic Downtown Wake Forest. We sell new general interest adult and children's books as well as book-related gifts (Check out the Poe-ka Dot Socks!)

This is a wonderful local bookstore! The staff are always really friendly. They've gone above and beyond adapting to covid and they make sure everyone in the store wears a mask. I asked for a recommendation for a Christmas present book and they picked a perfect one, the recipient loved it! I've been back since to get books for myself. Definitely check this place out!
