ABOUT US
Book + Bottle is a bottle shop, an independent bookstore, a coffee café, and a wine bar all rolled into one exquisite little package. We have the most passionate, friendly, and helpful team in town to help you choose a book or a bottle or to take care of you and your friends on your night off.
We’re an independent, woman-owned, values-driven, sustainably run, local first business who believes that little kindnesses can make our community and world a better place.
We can’t wait to meet you when you come visit us.
OUR MISSION
At Book + Bottle, we work hard to curate a thought-provoking and delightful reading, drinking, and shopping experience in a welcoming environment. We're approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate about inspiring community and discovery right in our neighborhood.
Books expand our minds, boost our empathy, and increase our intelligence. Good wine challenges our expectations, comforts our souls, and transports us to other places. Good coffee opens our eyes, prepares us for our day, and puts pep in our step. We invite you on this journey of exploration and discovery with us!
OUR VALUES
Book + Bottle supports women-owned, sustainable, and independent businesses like our own.
We source our products from small businesses whenever possible, and making earth-friendly choices is a priority for us.
Everyone is welcome; we believe that by gathering together, neighbors become friends.
We're planting roots because we're here to invest in St. Pete.
