Bean Around Books and Tea

Cozy local spot with a fantastic selection of used books, very well organized and tidy. Also a huge variety of teas and good coffee. Service was warm and friendly. A real gem of a place!

Absolutely love this place! I go every now and again to try a different tea each time, there’s a lot of choices of teas (never tried the coffees but they look amazing).

Great community and very warm welcoming staff, a nice place to chill and grab a sweet treat :)

Such a friendly cozy atmosphere to meet up with friends!
An amazing array of gently used books at reasonable prices. Great coffee and baked goods. Haven’t tried the tea yet but I bet it’s just as delicious as the coffee! Proceeds to a great cause for the youth . Owners are absolutely interesting and caring people.
A very safe haven! Enjoyed myself immensely 💜 Thank you 💜

This was our first visit. We arrived with 3 bags of donation books. the two young men who helped us were awesome. Very informative & welcoming & incredibly courteous. We ended up buy a few books & will definitely be back.

Love visiting Tara! And it’s so great that I can bring my pup in too!

This is an awesome little coffee shop. Specialty teas and great books to wander around in. I call it the Radiator Shop as it use to be a repair shop for radiators. Service is great and people are very helpful. Five stars for sure.

Love this place. My almost 9 year old grandson loved it too

Super nice and knowledgeable about all the teas! Great selection of local authors and used books. Why isn't this place more known?!? Loved, loved, loved the visit!

I feel so lucky to live in a town that has a place like this. It is an exceptionally meaningful place that benefits not only local residents (mmm, good tea and coffee, great books) but also impacts life choices of the youth and opportunities for the local community. My background is in youth work and I do so much appreciate and admire this local initiative. I left with a book, a cup of london fog and a grateful heart.

Have been meaning to go in here for far too long. Nice little place. Coffee or tea and used books. Browse, sip, zen.
My friend Brian was there to do a book signing with Andrea the illustrator of the same book. Will be the only place in town to get a copy outside of online I think? Had a coffee, got my copy signed.

Stopped in for a brunch the other morning, lovely little place. Friendly, prompt service, nice chilled atmosphere. The coffee was great, and better than the local chain cafes, and the BLT bagel was good too. Lots and lots of books to choose from, but if that's not your thing, there's several tables and power sockets (best check with the management before plugging in though). There's even a few board and card games as you go through to the back.

I absolutely love this place! Its my home away from home. So nice to relax with friends or put your head down and get work done.

Everything that the business does goes back to helping youth in the community and the programs that are run have the potential to be lifechanging!

Excellent quality and selection of teas, super tasty coffee, an endless variety of super interesting books of all genres, and wonderful staff. An added bonus, it’s a community-oriented nonprofit. Will definitely be back every time I’m in the area.

A very cute and comfortable place. Love the drinks and the vibes! Can't wait to come again.

A beautiful amazing little gem of a place. Lovely selection of books to read at great prices and I can even bring my old books in to trade so I can get new ones at an even lower price than they already are! Dont get me started on the tea! Huge selection, every one of which has so far been delicious. (I havent made my way through half of them yet.) The atmosphere is super cozy and welcoming! The staff make it even more so. And of course there is the coveted fireplace spot to sit, its too bad they couldnt have more than one fireplace 😂 Love, love, love this place!!! It took me years of driving by and always thinking of going there before I finally did and I wish I had checked it out sooner!

Love it! One of the best Iced mochas I've ever had. Finally a place that's got it right without watering it down. Super Chocolatey and Strong. Being around books are a bonus too :)

A hidden gem. This is a nice cozy place to grab a coffee, read a book, get a bit of work done, or have a conversation.

My favorite bookstore, has a great selection in most areas, helpful staff, and a superb London fog (their other food/drink looks delicious too but I stick to my regular one). I would love it if they were open a bit longer, but can’t complain.
I particular love their poetry/classical book sections as they often have gems I’ve not seen elsewhere

This place was my hang out spot when I lived in maple ridge. The atmosphere here is truly wonderful and the teas and coffees will leave you wanting more! (THERE ARE SO MANY DRINKS TO CHOOSE FROM!) So many novels in this store that are from old classics to new hits. They are also very supportive of local authors. I have never found a better coffee shop/book store. Do not miss out from this place !
In the winter months, try out Nights of Nog. I helped create that one. ;)
