Riverview Coffee, Tea, & Books

Welcome to Riverview Coffee, Tea & Books, where a passion for reading and the magic of bygone stories converge to create a sanctuary for book enthusiasts old and new. Our mission is to breathe new life into forgotten books, provide a haven for the curious, a meeting place for friends, and foster a community where reading, sharing and connecting flourish.

Our Story

Our story began with a simple yet profound idea: to create a space where people could not only indulge their love of books but also enjoy a great cup of coffee or tea. We wanted to build a community where readers could gather, share ideas, and connect over their shared love of literature. Over time, our dream took shape, and Riverview Coffee, Tea & Books was born.

Our Services

At Riverview Coffee, Tea & Books, we offer a wide range of services designed to enhance your reading experience. From our carefully curated selection of over 20,000 pre-loved books to our daily fresh-baked treats and sandwiches, we strive to provide everything you need to make your visit with us truly special.

Our coffee and tea menu is designed to complement your reading experience. Whether you prefer a strong, bold coffee or a soothing herbal tea, we have something for everyone. Pair your drink with one of our delicious treats or sandwiches, available in gluten-free and vegetarian options.

In addition to our menu offerings, we also offer a trade credit program for our customers. Bring in your previously loved books, and we'll give you credit towards new titles. This program not only helps keep books in circulation but also allows you to discover new stories and authors while supporting local charities.

Trade Credit Policy

We love receiving books for credit, and our policy is all about supply and demand. While we don't purchase books outright, we're more than happy to help you exchange your treasures. Due to our cozy space, we might only be able to shelve one copy of a book at a time, but we promise it will be in good company. We're all about quality here, so we kindly request that the books you bring are in acceptable condition - no bugs, water damage, mold, or missing covers, please! We also prefer books that are in one piece and not falling apart.

As for textbooks, we don't accept them, but when it comes to non-fiction, we take each one on a case-by-case basis. If we can't offer credit for your books, we happily donate them to local charities, unless you specify otherwise on your credit slip. The amount of credit you receive depends on the market value of the book, so you can rest assured that you're getting a fair deal. Want to donate your store credit? Pay it forward by sharing to our Local Teachers Account. Thanks for sharing your love of reading with us!

What Can Trade Credits be Used For?

Good news! Your Trade Credit is here to stay, and it won't ever expire. You can use this credit to grab some fantastic USED books. We apply credits to cover up to half the purchase price of a book or puzzle, making your adventures even more affordable and enjoyable. Just a quick heads-up though: this credit can't be used for new books, special orders, or treats at the cafe. Happy reading and saving!
