We’re building something we’ve wanted for a long time: a place where you can browse books, sip some java, and stay a while. Your “Third Place.”
Our space will be a retail bookstore, café, and taproom—designed for readers, writers, curious minds, and anyone who loves a good story paired with a good drink. Whether you’re stopping for a brew, meeting friends after work, or settling into a quiet corn
er with a new favorite book, we want this to be the kind of place you return to again and again. What you can expect:
• A thoughtful selection of books for all kinds of readers
• A cozy café vibe by day - relaxed taproom atmosphere in the evenings
• Cool, one-of-a-kind gifts, cards, and artwork featuring local and regional artists
• Events, gatherings, book clubs, and many more reasons to come back (often)
And yes—this has been a nearly four-year odyssey. After a few property “almosts” and some long detours, we found our way back to a space we had considered from the start: the historic Cortland Corset Factory. We’re aiming to open late summer / early fall, and we can’t wait to share the excitement as this space comes to life. Thanks for being part of our story. Before anyone asks: the profile pic is not our logo. 😂 Just a playful placeholder until we finalize the real thing. We hope you’ll help us “sell a sh&*-ton of books!”
