Chamblin’s started as a bookstore back in 1976. Just like then, they continue to sell new, used, and rare books. They have two locations, which allows them to display 55,000 square feet of books!  Their inventory totals somewhere over 2 million.

While Chamblin’s Bookmine is just a store, their downtown location, Chamblin’s Uptown, has a café. Chamblin’s Uptown Café includes a coffee bar that sells local coffees, with the option of almond or soy milk at no extra charge. In addition, they serve food, most of which is also vegan and vegetarian friendly.

Chamblin’s Uptown, is located at 215 North Laura Street. For more information, and hours, visit their website at: www.chamblinbookmine.com
