I was traveling out of state from California and was so excited to visit Chapter Book Lounge to enjoy some coffee and explore the shop. Unfortunately, my experience was incredibly disappointing. The website and Google both stated that the store was open, but I wanted to confirm, and there was no phone number listed anywhere to reach them.

Read moreThis is my new favorite place to relax in Noblesville. I’m lucky to live nearby - it’s so close I can walk!

I look forward to spending lots of time at Chapter in 2025. Keep up the amazing work and...
