The Biblio-Tech Cafe

Beautiful cafe and bookstore. The owner is extremely friendly and makes wonderful coffee drinks. The selection of books (new and used) is excellent for a small store. What was really important to me is that he has books at all reading levels that represent many cultures and backgrounds.

Coffee is on the weaker side (had the house blend, claimed to be medium roast). Large coffee was >$4.50, quality of flavor does not live up to cost. Didn't try espresso--only served in paper cups, so quality and bitterness are clearly not a concern for server. Cute shop, interesting statue out front. I might return for books, but not for the coffee.

UPDATE:
I appreciate responsive service and went back based upon owners comment below and tried the espresso. (I paid for, so as to not skew my review)

Espresso does not pop like freshly roasted beans, more of a solid Italian feel. It is good espresso and I may return for another before leaving town. I'll update my rating from 3 stars to 4 based on the good espresso and excellent customer service.

We stopped in while walking around town. Looking for a quick bite to eat, we happened into Biblio and were thrilled to find panini's on their menu. What a great treat. The staff was wonderful and we relaxed outside at one of the tables. PERFECT!!!

Pre-pandemic, I used to call Giuseppe to order one of Biblio-Tech's delicious to-go coffees to pick up on my way to work. While in the area again last weekend, I stopped by and was pleasantly surprised to find that they now also offer a nice selection of lunch items, including a Cuban panini which is superb --- so good that I stopped by again this weekend and had another one (as good as the first!). I should also mention that the cafe offers a great selection of books, gift options, collectible comics, and Lego kits. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff always friendly and helpful. So glad to see that Biblio-Tech survived Covid's challenges. I'm already thinking of excuses to make it to charming Perry again this coming weekend to have another one of Giuseppe's paninis!

They know how to make a tasty latte. I also enjoyed the toasted cheese sandwich. It's a good place for browsing and fine conversation. Their prices are reasonable, too. Nice selection of books and graphic novels
