The Backstory
WBKO identified Allison Razic as the cafe's owner. The WKU Herald, which covered the opening in a story headlined "Turn a new page with Bowling Green's newest coffee shop," described the business as part used bookstore and part traditional coffee house, and identified Rebekah Sherry as a manager.
WNKY News 40 also reported on the opening. The cafe's website lists coffee, books and baked goods.
The 939 Adams St. address is also listed in the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce's member directory under The Venue at 939 at Adams. The search results did not say how the two are related, so this story does not describe the building's earlier use.
What It Means for Bowling Green
Manager Rebekah Sherry has described the goal as "a cozy place where people can come and have fun drinks, some baked goods, and talk about books, come and work, make it like a little community." For downtown residents and workers, that adds a coffee stop with an early weekday start and a place to sit with a book.
WBKO reported that customers can bring in used books for store credit or trade them for a different book. The cafe's website says it also has private-event space, with event bookings opening soon.
