Ad Astra Books & Coffee House — Restaurant in Salina

A "must try" place right off I70. To be clear if we were locals I would stop by every day. I think the super friendly team we met were a mother and daughter. They were super patient as we perused the menu and selected a variety of mostly healthy breakfast options on our first visit.

I loved the loaded apple & walnut oatmeal, perfectly toasted bagel, and iced latte. My husband, the carnivore, was pleasantly surprised at how much he liked Becky's Bierock. He is not a coffee guy and MUCH prefers eggs and bacon for breakfast but lovingly accommodates my love of the Java and the places that supply it.

I saw signs that they are moving to a new location but they still had enough good books left for me to find a bagful!

This was my first visit and I’m pleased. I usually frequent Starbucks, but I decided to find something new, closer, and that served coffee that doesn’t upset my stomach.

Lately, I've been finding myself a little getaway that I never knew I needed. Ad Astra coffee shop has been having a dj play some music on wednesday and its been a great break from the normal day to day art scene of Salina!

I was also able to snag a caramel machiatto, which was very tasty and wasn't like the normal ones you get from starbucks! If you could continue to have this DJ playing jams on vinyls, it would be greatly appreciated. I plan to keep coming back any chance I get to hear electronic music here!!! Thank you for being the oasis away from the norm I...
