The Story | Coffee & Bookstore - Coffee shop in Ardmore - 45 E Lancaster Ave, USA

I love this cafe bookstore . Aesthetics are amazing. This is my fav cafe in PA. Im in love with their vibe, coffee and the staff aswell. Very welcoming and ill be back and donate some books. Their fall coffee menu is recommened.

This is such a cute little cafe! The faith-based vintage decor is so beautiful. One thing to note is that it’s definitely more of a cafe than a bookstore. I had a wonderful experience here! I rented out the “Reading Room” in the back for a book club meeting for a very reasonable price, and the staff was so nice and accommodating. Each of us in the book club got a drink and a pastry and all of us enjoyed them. Will definitely be back, and definitely recommend! Thanks again! 😁📚

The coffee was great. The place was so packed there was nowhere to sit, great for them but unfortunate for us! Baristas were really friendly and helpful. We got a filled donut and it was underwhelming but definitely not the worst I’ve had.

I wish I lived closer to The Story. I would frequent it weekly. I had the pleasure of stopping in one morning and had two different coffees, both were excellent. You will love the ambiance inside, nothing like it around.

Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Me and my 10 year old son’s favorite place to spend Sunday mornings <3

Loved the atmosphere (gave me Hogwarts vibes) and my latte and cinnamon roll were delicious. Friendly service. Very cozy, will be back.

Best little coffee spot in Ardmore! Had a yummy latte and a mocha. Not much food offered there, just pastries. The ambiance was really cool and you could tell they put a lot of time and effort into it. The Christianity themes throughout were a little much. All of the books are faith based and when I went there were a few customers talking really loudly about their faith and bible club. If this type of stuff would bother you, don’t go. But if you can get past that, it’s a very cute unique and cozy place!

So….this is a Christian centered coffee shop. The books are all by or about Christians-right wing Christians mainly-Max Lucado and Mike Huckabee books were on display, although I did see an Anne Lamott book there….A ginormous “The Last Supper” painting hangs behind the coffee bar. They also have Bible Study there. So I guess if you are Jewish or Muslim or an Atheist/Agnostic you may feel a little persecuted/out of place. I don’t know why they feel the need to have a theme coffee shop I guess it must be because Christians are dwindling in numbers because of their moral hypocrisy and they need “a safe space” to convene.🙄 Also my coffee ordered extra hot to accommodate for cream was actually tepid. No place to park either.
