Bruyere Books & Tea

07/17/2026

Another thank you to my community! I opened Bruyere Books & Tea because I love books (and tea). But I love everything about this place, especially the lovely people who have come in! And hopefully we’ll have tea for sale soon! Y’all will be the first to know!

Some books entertain us. Some teach us. And some invite us to step into another person’s world for a little while.

Our new Books That Build Bridges display is filled with stories and perspectives that encourage empathy, understanding, and connection. Whether you’re hoping to learn about an experience different from your own or searching for a book that makes you feel truly seen, this shelf is a place to begin.

No matter where you’re starting from, you’re welcome here.

Come browse, stay curious, and maybe leave with a story that changes the way you see the world. 💜📚

Have a book you think belongs on this shelf? We’d love to hear your recommendations!

**Karl Oskar Days is in full swing! 📚🐶🌿**

We're open **early today**, so if you're out enjoying the festivities, stop in and say hello! Just look for the **Pride flags**—when the flags are out, **Bruyere Books & Tea is open!** 🏳️‍🌈

Sir Wigglesworth is on duty today after an amazing day yesterday. He made lots of new friends (including some very tiny ones 🥹), and if he's awake, he'd love to say hello.

You might also catch a sneak peek of our tea cabinet! The tea isn't for sale quite yet while we finish licensing, but it's getting closer every day, and I'm so excited to share what's coming.

Whether you're looking for your next great read, a cozy place to cool off, or just want to meet Lindstrom's favorite bookstore Boxer, we'd love to welcome you.

See you soon, Kindred Readers! 💚

Someone left two little Jesus figurines outside the bookstore today.

Whether they were meant as a blessing or simply as a reminder that someone was thinking of us, thank you.

At Bruyere Books & Tea, we welcome good intentions in all their forms. We hope this continues to be a place of kindness, curiosity, and belonging for everyone who walks through our doors.

Blessed be. 🌿
