Next Chapter Cafe & Book Shop

Loved this cafe! Very cozy atmosphere, they have a small stage for future events, we tried tea and pizza, they were good. Great variety of books that you can also purchase. Definitely will be coming here again!

I saw a little blurb on instagram about this cafe, and soon after found myself driving near Hagerstown. I decided to stop and check it out and I’m so glad I did! The wonderful woman behind the counter was just as sweet as could be. I can’t drink coffee, and being a new spot, the drink menu is rather brief, but I found a delicious tea I’ve never heard of and was really happy with it. I didn’t eat so I can’t comment on the food. The seating area is huge but somehow also cozy. Lots of comfy chairs and couches, lighting that is t too bright nor too dim, some mellow music playing, beautiful wood floors, natural colors, and on and on. I really loved Next Chapter. I wish I had a coffee shop like this near where I live, but I’ll have to settle for stopping in when I’m passing Hagerstown. I really

Update: we have now gone to two kids book readings/crafts events and can't wait to go to more! So much fun! It is perfect weather now to cozy up to a good book and some warm soup🌬️ 📚🍲📖 and Hagerstown now has a great new stop just for that!

Book, florals, and a sense of magic sprawl across the tall walls and invite you back into either the rooms of books and gifts for all ages and interests or past the spiral staircase to the cafe where warm drinks and yummy food are waiting to be ordered by you. Yes, you 🫵 There is plenty of seating from couches to rocking chairs to high top tables where we saw many gathering around talking, working on their laptop, laughing wi

It’s in its first week but I see such potential for this place! The entry way is gorgeous, the book sections are cute and easy to navigate, and the back space looks like it could host a lot of people and be a nice place to sit and work! While the cafe is still in progress, they offer a few things and I look forward to seeing it expand! Every great downtown needs a bookshop and I’m loving the possibilities for this one so far!

This place is so unique and spacious! It is new so they don’t have the espresso bar up yet but we got regular coffee and it was good. It’s a vintage lovers dream. They have a beautiful old school bar to sit at. They also have a decent amount of books to purchase. I love this place. I’m so happy to have found it.
