Very cute little cafe and bookstore. Went on a Wednesday afternoon and ended up waiting 45 minutes to be seated (just me), so I would advice getting there early. The bookstore has a decent selection and tons to look at, and the food was very tasty. I highly recommend checking it out.
Thanks for supporting this local author! Check out the “local author” section where you can find my children’s book, “Always, Always, Always” among others! Townhouse is a staple for St. Charles and such a charming place to visit. You can always find something interesting to buy, but if you’re looking for something specific, just ask and they’ll order it and have it in within a couple of days! You can also order online and have it shipped direct. Buy local! And stay for breakfast or lunch at the Townhouse Cafe (the quiche is incredible!) :)
Every time my daughter returns home, we are off to Town House for lunch. The outdoor patio has a quaint European flair. The food is consistently good. Soups & desserts amazing! The book shop is an added bonus! We are fortunate to have this wonderful place in our community.
Wow, this is my fairytale bookshop dreams come true. A real house (built 1853!) with real books (really!), and real coffee and food (!!!). So glad I decided to seek a local bookseller. And David (the owner) was exceptionally kind and helpful. A new fan for life!
**Lactose Intolerant Cheat Meal Review**
This spot is one of the most unique shops I've ever been to. If you're a bibliophile this is a spot for you. They have an extensive bookstore and a dining area for brunch. I'm lactose intolerant but every now and then I opt for a lactase pill. This was one of those days. I've heard about the legendary quiches here so I didn't want to miss out.
The quiche was great and the cup of soup was too. My reaction to the quiche was basically non-existant so I will be going back again.
The location was packed inside but there was only about a 10-15 minute wait to get a seat. We could also go walking around while waiting and look at the building and books.
The building is a historic landmark so that alone makes it a great reason to come see it.
*Everyone has a different reaction to lactose intolerance. This is my personal experience. Don't assume you will have the same.
