Shut Up and Read: Silent Reading & Beans

Details

Read quietly together, with coffee and calm company.

Life gets busy, and it’s hard to find quiet time to just sit down and read. This session is a gentle invitation to slow down, unplug, and enjoy your book—with others doing the same.

There’s no talking, no pressure, and no expectations. Just show up, grab a drink, and read.

☕ What to Expect:
• 📚 Bring a book (or Kindle / iPad)
• ☕ Buy a drink to support the café
• 🛋️ Settle in and read quietly for about an hour
• 💬 Optional: stay after to chat or share what you’re reading

🕘 Suggested Flow:
• 10 mins – Arrive, grab a drink, find a spot
• 60 mins – Silent reading
• 20 mins – Optional book chat or quiet wrap-up

This is perfect if you:
• Want focused time to read
• Enjoy cafés but not small talk
• Crave a calm, cozy vibe with fellow book lovers

Come as you are. Stay as long as you like.
Just bring a book, order a drink, and read with us—silently.
