A book club brewed for book lovers, belonging and a bit of fun.
A good book club isn't instant, it's put together with love, considered ingredients, served in a lovely venue and shared with great people. Just like great coffee.
If you've read and dreamed about small town book club vibes, this is your opportunity to step into the pages and grab some of that main character energy in a local independent coffee shop.
A welcoming place where you belong.
A friendly, fun, flowing meet up.
A monthly treat just for you.
Is this your cup of tea (or coffee, or hot chocolate)?
You'll love this if you:
Love reading, but want more than a quick “did you like it?” chat
Want to meet new people, without the awkward “so… what do you do?” bit
Enjoy meaningful conversation in relaxed, cosy spaces
Like having a treat in the diary, that's just for you
Want to be part of a community, without the pressure to 'perform'
No expertise required:
You don’t need a literature degree
You don’t need perfectly highlighted pages
You don’t even need to have finished the book
What happens each month
Each book club meets once a month in a local independent coffee shop.
You can expect:
A warm welcome from a friendly host
A carefully chosen book, shared in advance
Comfortable small group discussions with guided questions to help the conversation flow
Playful activities to bring the fun
Plenty of space to listen, share, and just be you
Meetings last around 2 hours and usually take place in the evenings.
Order whatever suits your mood: coffee, tea, chai, hot chocolate, latte, mocha. Our hosts are great at what they do and welcome and appreciate your order.
Why this book club feels different
Like a great coffee, our book club meet ups are crafted and designed to create a great experience.
The menu - Thoughtful structure – enough guidance to feel comfortable, but not forced
The company - Hosted meetups – you’re never walking into a room alone
The cup - Lovely venues – independent coffee shops that feel like a treat for yourself
The coffee - Consistency – same time, same place, same ingredients, every month
The latte art - Play built in – so it feels light, energising, and genuinely fun
Many members say it quickly becomes the thing they most look forward to in their month.
