What Emilie Corriveau Plaziac likes about Black Squirrel Books Espresso:
It was such a cute place and the staff were so kind and the coffee was so delicious. I also loved the big selection of books and the overall vibe here was amazing I really reccomend going here. View all feedback. What James Dunnicliff doesn't like about Black Squirrel Books Espresso:
A large selection of used books at a fair price, and a good selection of new, to choose from. During my visit, the place was busy and, for me, a bit claustrophobic. The sitting areas to enjoy your drinks are relatively small and cozy. With the bustle of people throughout the store, definitely an espresso to go type of vibe. View all feedback.
