ALWAYS SUMMER BOOK CLUB
READ. GATHER. STAY AWHILE.
Our book club meets once a month at the cafe, bringing together a small circle of readers who love everything from romance to literary fiction.
Sometimes we even get to chat with the authors themselves, thanks to the vibrant community of writers in the Seattle area.
Enjoy thoughtful conversations, warm company, and the occasional affogato or crepe on the side.
Why We Started It
At Always Summer, we've always believed that some of life's best conversations happen around the table.
Books have a way of bringing people together, introducing new perspectives and turning strangers into friends. Our monthly Book Club was created to celebrate that idea.
Hosted inner space right below our neighbors at Third Place Books, we meet once a month from fall through spring to share stories, ideas and something delicious.
MEET THE AUTHORS
Stories deserve to be shared.
We're proud to occasionally host authors for book launches, readings and conversations with our community.
If you're an author or publisher looking for an intimate, design-forward venue where readers gather naturally, we'd love to hear from you.
Our café offers a warm, welcoming setting just downstairs from Third Place Books, making it a natural extension of a literary evening.
