More than a bookstore.
For three decades, Booklovers' Gourmet has been a gathering place in Webster — books, coffee, art, and community under one roof.
A community anchor on East Main Street.
Booklovers' Gourmet opened in March 1995 and has grown into something more than a place to buy a book. Locally owned bookstores are reappearing all around the country because they remain an integral part of community life — and we've always treated the people who walk through our door as friends and neighbors.
Under one roof you'll find thousands of new and gently used books, a café serving organic micro-roasted coffee and homemade treats, a gallery of rotating monthly exhibits by local artists, and shelves of carefully chosen gifts. We're always hunting for something unique to help you find the perfect read or present.
When you shop local, you ensure the health, vitality, and diversity of our community. To reach readers beyond our walls, we've partnered with Bookshop.org for online orders and Libro.fm for audiobooks — every purchase still supports an independent bookstore.
Recognized for what we do.

What you'll find inside.
We wanted a cultural oasis — a place to share a love of books and art, support local talent, and make everyone feel welcome.
