Technology has put everything we could possibly want to read at our fingertips. But if you are one of those old souls who still loves flipping the pages of your favorite titles, this bookstore is the ideal spot to set aside your phones, tablets, and laptops. Located in the heart of Connecticut’s Elm City, Atticus Bookstore Cafe offers a place to lose yourself in a story while sipping wine.

In 1976, Atticus Bookstore Cafe opened its doors on Chapel Street offering New Haven visitors and residents an independent bookstore for their literary needs. The cafe, inspired by those found in Europe, was added later serving light fare, coffee, wine, and beer.
