Read Shop by The Merchant

I saw this shop with high reviews and it definitely deserves the ratings! Such a cute spot with great vibes and great coffee! We tried the Lavender Honey Oat Chai and it was really tasty with great flavor and sweetness. Definitely a must stop in Vinings!

I am not a morning person in the slightest but I am willing to leave earlier to get coffee from her before work. The classic latte is perfect and their bacon egg biscuit is delicious / I don’t even like eggs in my sandwiches!!

They are so quick that I don’t mind the extra drive to stop there because it will still be faster than dealing with the local Starbucks

I also tend to buy a new kids book every time they refresh the shelves 🙈

One of the best coffeeshops in Atlanta. The atmosphere is lovely and The barista is good as well. Their coffee is super delicious.

Well, this was lovely!

They have delicious pastries, and some of the best coffee I’ve had. I thought it would be more of a bookstore, but it has a good selection of cookbooks and the top few NYT Bestsellers. I’d classify it as a coffee shop with a selection of books and gifts.

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the area was and the ease of parking! Not a lot of indoor seating, but there are several tables on the patio.

This is a cute lil gem of a spot. We were both satisfied with our drinks, the space was small but clean, & there’s outdoor seating.

Cool concept for Us book & caffeine lovers. Parking was tight, but folks are in & out; so it’s not hard to find a spot.

Enjoy☕📖✨

They serve Stumpton coffee here and that should tell you a lot! It's very very good coffee, we were very excited. Also London fog is great if you're a tea drinker. There are pastries and handmade chocolates if you want something to go with your coffee.
Great selection of notebooks, cards and little things out here besides super fun books! So much to choose from. Not much seating inside but there are some tables outside on the patio.
Also, very pleased that they are open later than most coffee shops around!! (Sunday till 6pm)

Highly recommend this place and will be coming back!!

I absolutely love coming here to see Garrett and Max, they are so sweet and make the best coffee! Their service is professional and friendly, and they always make me feel welcome. A great spot for coffee and vibes.

I have been coming to READ SHOP for speciality coffee for quite sometime. I have not found any other place in town that can match the flavor and the detail given by the baristas when preparing your coffee. You definitely want to stop by and enjoy a speciality coffee in town.

Immaculate vibes. I love coming here to work on my laptop or read a book. It can get pretty busy sometimes but if you come and find a good seat early it's fine. The coffee is fairly priced. They sometimes run out of baked goods towards the end of the day so it's also good to come early if you want a larger selection of treats to have with your coffee. It's a bit small so maybe not the best for a large party of folks like a study group. Perfect for a little date though or a small friend meetup :) the coffee shop folks have always been nice 👍

Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. I had some amazing truffles and my wife enjoyed an iced latte that she said was the best she’s had in her life. Highly recommend this spot!

It's a cute shop. The lavender honey oat chai has no right being as good as it is. Not too sweet with an unbelievably good taste. The shop is small with limited seating Inside, but does have some outdoor seating available.

Beautiful boutique bookstore with the perks of coffee, pastries, and a unique atmosphere.
Things you should know:
I. PARKING
There is a FREE private parking lot out front ~ Very nice. Very easy.
II. SERVICE
No complaints
III. QUALITY
The Americano is dense and fruity ~ I'm a big fan. I wish the store had some sugar free syrup options to be able to customize beverages in a guilt-free way, but the coffee is still phenomenal by itself.
IV. CAPACITY
Finding available seating can be tricky depending on the time of day you come here

What a beautiful and tucked away spot! The aesthetic can't be missed and the literature has such a nice spread. There's a few great coffee brewing things to buy as well as stationary. There's even children's books. The coffee was great. They brew Stumptown which tends to be a strong cup, but a wholesome one! There's seating in the middle as well as along the windows and even charming outdoor seating. Friendly staff!

I've visited Read Shop three times now and I absolutely love it. Every time I've entered the store I'm greeted with friendly faces behind the counter. I think their personalities create such a welcoming environment. The espresso is so smooth and delicious. I've also had their hot coffee, cold brew, and London Fog tea, all really great options. Anytime I'm in the Vinings area I plan on stopping by!

Such a cute little spot, it feels like an oasis from the city but still super accessible.

The coffee was really good! For coffee enthusiasts, and people who just like a fun drink, it covered all the bases. The space was relaxing to sit down in, the books on the shelves were all so interesting, and helped make the space dynamic and intriguing.

The barista was so friendly, definitely knowledgeable, and did a fantastic job.

All in all, will be in again.

Definitely one of the best coffeeshops I've ever been to!!! The atmosphere is lovely, light and airy, the coffee is absolutely delicious, and the staff were kind and friendly. The music was also excellent and the book selection intriguing :). I visited with my girlfriend as part of a road trip during which we spent way too much on coffee, and this was my favorite coffee stop of the trip. The barista was lovely and I think the coolest stranger we met on the trip! I will be returning if I'm ever in the Atlanta area again.

This is an awesome place for great coffee, tea, meetings, or just reading! 📚 More seating would be nice😊but it's still awesome.

Great place and vibe. Love browsing the books while waiting for my coffee

Super cute coffee shop/funky little bookstore located in the bougie Vinings Jubilee. Super chill and comfortable with not only fabulous coffee and a really nice and personable barista, but some great music playing at the perfect level in the background. An ideal little place to hang on your own, get a bit of work done or meet a friend. Plenty of parking, inside and outside seating, five stars all around!
