This One Of A Kind Library Cafe In North Carolina Is A Book Lover’s Dream Come True

Little Switzerland Books & Beans in North Carolina is a unique three-story bookstore and coffee shop that offers a nostalgic experience for book lovers and coffee enthusiasts.

Big cities aside, you just never know what you'll find in small town North Carolina. Blink and you'll miss this entire tiny town in the Tar Heel State. But after just one peek at this charming bookstore and snackery coffee shop, you'll be adding this one to your bucket list soon.

Little Switzerland Books & Beans is one-of-a-kind and doles out three floors of new and used (mostly used) books.

Book lovers spend hours in this eclectic mountain bookshop combing the shelves for bibliotreasures.

And when they get hungry, or need a caffeine boost, they head to the front of the store to refuel.

A variety of handheld pick-me-ups are always stocked in the cafe case.

And you can always count on something sweet and sugary to be among them!

You can pop outside to one of the cafe tables along Main Street to enjoy a bite, or grab your coffee/cappuccino and head back to the stacks.

This nostalgic bookstore has more than 30 years of collections to browse through, so be sure to allow plenty of time to take it all in!

You can always head back to the front for another pick-me-up throughout your visit.

And with treats as sweet as these, the only question we have is: will you be drooling more over the treats or over the thousands and thousands of books found in this unique three-story bookstore?

Little Switzerland Books and Beans is located just a stone's throw from the Blue Ridge Parkway's Little Switzerland exit. The address is 9426 Hwy 226, Little Switzerland, NC 28752. Learn more on their official website.
