Fabled Bookshop & Cafe

A really unique bookstore with excellent recommendations and a great coffee shop! It is the perfect place to take a break and escape the heat. There are plenty of tables, chairs, and couches where you can relax while friends or companions browse the shelves. Fabled also has a wonderful children’s section. Conveniently located downtown near the Silos, it is well worth a visit.

Super cute book store, friendly staff, and a large selection. Also the coffee shop has a delicious selection of literary themed drinks. I really enjoyed the Siren!

This is one of our go-to spots to hang out!! There's something unbeatable about the scent of fresh coffee and books. The atmosphere is perfect for browsing, reading, working, or studying, with cozy chairs, couches, tables, and workstations that even have plugs for charging laptops/devices. Plus, the staff is always friendly and ready to help.

A great independent bookstore with a wide selection of titles. I loved all the staff picks, and the well curated seasonal tables - currently geared toward Halloween and all things magic or spooky. The café is popular to study or read. Such a great experience!

This is one of the best little bookstore I've visited. Quint and charming come mind when thinking about this place. Amazing variety of books for a small bookstore when compared to BN size. A charming feature is a lot of handwritten notes on the books throughout the entire bookstore. A lot unique gifts. A strong college vibe here. The staff is friendly and cheerful. There is a wonderful coffee/tea shop inside wirh great seating, if a college student with their laptop ever leaves. However there is seating throughout the store. Leather chairs, leather couch, living room style chairs and in back a wonderful children areas. I really like their decorations with popular books theme decorations. There is street parking and downtown.

What a great bookstore. You can tell they really care about the books and the customers. I love places that have staff recommendations. It is so helpful. The kids room is a lot of fun and they had a dragon on the wall! I didn't try the coffee but it smelled delicious. Check them out in Waco.

Awesome place to meet up, have coffee and get cool books. They have great gifts too! My sister lives in Dallas and I live in Austin. We meet up in Waco and this is an awesome place to meet. They have a kid friendly children’s book area. Ella made us all our coffee and she was quick and friendly. My nephew loved Melinda the Dragon and apparently she guards the bookstore at night. We agreed I would buy him a book here every time we come to Waco.
