Night Heron Books & Coffeehouse — Restaurant in Laramie

Visited here for lunch on 4 October 2018 following the recommendation of an archivist at the American Heritage Center. If you're a book lover, as soon as you walk in, you feel welcomed by the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that cover the two side walls. Recent used hardcovers and paperbacks are available along with vintage books, all organized by subject. I ordered a shot-in-the-dark to drink and a breakfast burrito to eat. During the brief wait while my food was cooked, I browsed the bookshelves and spotted a good variety of titles.

I also got an oat milk Mayan Mocha (half sweet). Super glad I did because it was definitely still sweet (but the barista warned me so I was expecting it).

Barista was super helpful and engaged with everyone who walked through the door. Nice and cozy. Will definitely be back when I'm...
