No, this isn’t Europe. 😉

This adorable bookshop opened this spring in Milton Square in St Anthony Park.

It is the *cutest* little escape. 📚 We’re talking reading nooks you’ll want to disappear into, a cutie little playhouse the kids won’t leave, free coffee ☕, a puzzle table, and an artist vending machine stocked with local goodies.

Woman-owned, 75% women authors, and so so cozy and welcoming. 🥹

🔖 Save this for the next time you need a vacay (but can’t hop on a plane). ✈️❌

💬 Comment ACORN and we’ll send you our favorite Twin Cities bookshop (this one included, obviously).  📍 Acorn Bookshop, St. Anthony Park. Closed Mondays. @acorn.bookshop
