Reviews of Watermark Books & Cafe

Christopher Clark

I love quaint cafes. If you read and enjoy books it’s a plus. I came for the food. BLT is so fresh along with tomato bisque soup. Enjoy the view out the window. Bright.

Thomas Pluck

Some bookstores are much more than a shop, they are a community hub, and this is one. When I walked in, I knew they were special, run by book lovers who believe in the power of reading to expand minds and brighten worlds. A professional and friendly staff runs a well organized and curated shop that you'll find difficult to leave without buying just one more book! And the cookies and coffee drinks are top notch as well. A landmark worth driving hours off your route to visit.

Amy New

This was such a treasure to find while visiting Wichita! Shane gave some great book recommendations and was able to find a few christmas gifts. All the staff was so nice and helpful- you can tell they are all very passionate about books and love to help you find what you’re looking for. Very excited about my new reads! The attached coffee shop was lovely as well.

William Penner

Slightly more expensive as it is an independent bookshop, thought it is absolutely worth it. Great selection of popular books, and timeless classics. Lots of fun little nick-nacks. Cafe is a plus too.

Debrah Bupp

Always nice to go here! I have found alot of gift items that I like to give with a book. Always friendly and helpful, know what they have, have had and will have. Plus, a very nice coffee shop on site!!

Megan Wilde

My favorite Wichita book store! The atmosphere, the staff and the books are all top notch. They've special ordered a book I wanted for me, and have always been so welcoming and helpful!

Celestra Snyder

I went between Christmas and New Years. The place was fairly crowded, but the customers were friendly. The staff were trying to help as many people as possible and seemed friendly. I found a few books that I had never seen at other book stores. As usual, my finds were more than I could afford. Many of the books were on sale, just not the ones that I was interested in at the time.

Punk nub

The coziest little bookstore around. Go get a gift for your favorite bookworm or try something from the cafe and sit and read. Love the vibes. Will definitely be returning soon.

Aspen Maliwat

Very cute little bookshop. I like their set up, although the aisles are a bit tight and it's often busy. The cafe is just okay for me.

Jayla Bowman

Watermark is my favorite bookstore. I could spend all day in here. So much more than just books. Delicious food, coffee, and tea. I am a big fan of their bruschetta. They have so many really cool Knick knacks and all sorts of stuff around the store as well. I always come out with a few books. New ones in all the time! I really recommend stopping by and checking them out if you haven’t. Cutest little shopping center.

Kevin Andrews

This book store is such a wonderful thing to have in my neighborhood. It's small, but not too small. Well stocked with a wide range of books; not just books that are now popular but classic titles and secondary titles. The staff is both knowledgeable and helpful. There is a small restaurant and espresso bar within it's four walls. Good coffee, great cinnamon rolls. Update: I went to a Wichita Book store to find a compilation called Wichita Murders by a local author. The clerk was at first confused, looked up the title and then said ‘We don’t carry that.’ Hmmmm? Four stars now

Leslie Peoples

My husband has been coming here for years and I’ve come here a time or two for books or puzzles. We also really enjoy their cafe. Their selection and they often offer sessional selections. It’s such a lovely atmosphere and always so clean.

Katie Conrad

Watermark Books & Cafe has always been a 'go to' local spot for my family. The cafe is phenomenal, the bookstore has an incredible assortment, and the staff is a joy and pleasure to work with. I called this morning inquiring of 'The Kissing Hand' book for a friend that's struggling with sleep training her little one. Amanda was quick to find me what I needed, made the extra effort to put the book and matching stuffed animal on hold, AND offered to gift wrap these treasures for an extra special touch. We are just blown away with our experience so far this morning, and that was just a phone call! Books mean something special to us. Those people that understand the value of a good read and what it means for an impressionable child, are truly the wonders of the world. Thank you, Amanda! We are so grateful.

Rachel Sigwing

Love the selection of books for adults and kids. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly.

Jennifer Mark

They always seem to know which book I’m looking for, even when I’m a bit vague on the details. I love how I can build my wishlist online for my husband to shop in store. I’ve gone ahead and ordered a few books in that weren’t already on the shelf, and they seem to arrive in just a couple of days. It’s just a great, local bookstore. We’re lucky to have them in Wichita.

Ariel Burress

The best bookstore in town, love the cafe it's a little Wichita gem. Wish the cafe would open back up for indoor seating though. :/

Dania L.

Try anything from the cafe, it's lovely. The great expectations sandwich is a favorite. The books are well collected and the gifts are unique and staff is amazing at every turn.

Stephanie Miller

Omg! I love this quaint, cute, make you feel intelligent bookstore with side refreshments. Seriously, is this New York or Wichita?

Kate Green

If you go in, talk to Sean, he was a dream to talk to and can recommend the best books! Love this bookstore!

Rinann S

Still one of the best destinations in Wichita. No buyers remorse. Just happiness and good books. After my latest visit my opinion has not changed. It is included in the new book "100 Things to Do in Wichita Before You Die". However it deserves to be closer to number one, or Last but not Least, since Last but not Least really means The Best. After today's visit my words above still stand.

Kristena Shiflett

We love coming to Watermark books to support our local businesses. They have an excellent selection of books and delicious food and drinks in the Cafe. The only downside is that I airways buy more books than I planned. 🤷‍♀️ …

Ashley Peel Smith

This store is one of my favorites in Wichita. In a normal year they have lots of author events and other activities like book clubs and story times. I love the selection, plus they have a great website where they offer free store pickup and flat rate shipping. I love the cafe as well! It's such a charming place and a great asset to our community. Plus they have a "seasoned reader's club" which gives you a $10 voucher for every $100 you spend.

Jeff Nold

Beautiful gem of a store and cafe. The staff could not be friendlier. If you love books, you owe it to yourself and fellow bibliophiles to support the few places like this left in the world.

Arthur W. Allen

Relaxed and quiet place to gather for a chat with friends. Hot chocolate was tasty.

Diana C

So happy to have a local book seller to support. They are friendly and very helpful. Great selection of books and wonderful selection of useful and novelty items. Lots of local interest items. You can order things online or pre-order books and pick them up in-store or curbside. Not to mention their author events. Look forward to being able to sit in the coffee shop again.

Seán Riley

Super cool bookstore with very kind and knowledgeable staff. We also got a delicious iced coffee from the café!

Yvonne Saunders-Teigeler

Wonderful bookstore. I brought my 4 year old son with me. He immediately enjoyed the toy trucks and behaved so well in the contained children space. He perused the shelves and really enjoyed book shopping. A mother's dream. He picked a book and he was so proud. Im definitely returning to this delightful store.

Audra T

So many great books and gifts! They have a nice selection of local books too, and I can get lost in their children's area. Oh and they have a cafe too! The cafe food is to die for -- especially the Illiad sandwich. They have wonderful tomato soup and the yummy desserts are always a treat. Shop and Eat Local at this Wichita treasure.

Ted Ayres

This is a great place for bibliophiles! My conversation with Sarah, the owner, was delightful this morning. She is so knowledgeable about books, authors and publishing. In addition to picking up the book she had held back for me, she stirred my interest in about six books I was not aware of previously. Support independent booksellers...so many books, so little time!

Carol Gornick

I was there to have Denise Neil sign my book that she wrote. Classic Restaurants of Wichita. The book is wonderful to go thru and remember the great places we had to eat at, which now there is nothing to compare to any of the old Restaurants. Also very nice to meet Denise.

Savannah Porter

I love the small cafe on the side and usually go for a "Catcher on the Rye". I'm in love with the sauce they put on it. It's quite but the perfect place to read at. I love the variety in the books they sell. It's a great place to visit especially if you're from out of town. However I'd recommend going on a day that they do a reading.

Connie Frederking

Watermark is a true gem in Wichita. Great books and gifts. Please support this locally owned bookstore.

Guard Bro

Very rah rah on the feminist bit but they are a solid book store that serves suitable coffee that is still leagues above Starbucks. Only thing I can really say is that I wish they had better baked goods, but they are a bookstore, not a bakery.

Rachel Guillot

Such a cool local bookstore. They have such interesting books here, a nice selection of local authors and really helpful staff. And the little cafe serves up delicious food. It's my grandson's favorite place to eat. Of course, that might be because he always gets to pick out a book! Buy local!

Jennifer Unruh

Beautiful local bookstore with lots of events and also a coffee shop inside. Great selection and will order anything you want.

Kelcey Turnbull

My favorite bookstore in Wichita!! They have a huge selection.

Meagen Alcorn

I absolutely adore this bookstore. I've been taking my child there for Tuesday story times for a couple of years. The staff is kind and amazing, and my little one adores Sue. One of my favorite places in Wichita. Also...their coffee is to die for! Try the Watermark 40 blend. You'll be hooked!

Audrey Noire

I visited here for the first time and loved my whole experience. A large selection of books and both the customers and staff were very kind and pleasant to be around. Their coffee and food was outstanding as well, definitely didn't expect that from a bookstore! I can't wait to go back

Jeremy Wheeler

This is a great place to meet up with people to hang out and talk with. They don't just have books, they have a coffee bar and you can get great coffee cake as well. They don't mind people hanging out there for an hour or so at a time. Has a very quiet and mellow atmosphere about it.

Justin Shore

Local book stores are the best! The smell of fresh books and their fantastic coffee shop overwhelms you when you walk in the door. You can't help but pick up two or three books every single time you walk in there. Grab a book, order a coffee, and enjoy one of their sandwiches!

Lyndsay Stauble

The most fabulous local bookstore ever. Amazing staff! They make excellent recommendations. The Cafe is fantastic and my favorite place to stop for a bite and a book.

C Lippert

Had everything and greT customer service. They are hiring a new cafe manager. Excellent potatoes leek soup.

Danny Pumpelly

This is a staple of Wichita. They have a good selection of books and can order something if you need it. The team who works there are very helpful and passionate about books. I like the cafe section as well - it's a nice little menu and a great spot to meet friends, relax and read, or go on a lunch date.

Kaylyn Strong

Simple food, love the atmosphere of the place. The noise of this place is definitely an asmr trigger for me, so please check this place out if you are into that. It is very relaxing to listen to the sounds of the kitchen with the smell of soup and coffee. Great for meeting people and lunch dates. Also great place to work by yourself if you're like me and work better with background noises and conversation.

Kendra Clapp Olguín

This place is what dreams are made of. If you're a book lover and fan of local, one-of-a-kind bookstores, this place is for you. They also have an excellent magazine selection. Not to mention they have delicious food (don't even get me started on their homemade bread) and adorable little cafe. You will not be disappointed visiting this place!

Sherri

My first time here and I wish I could have spent more time browsing!! What a nice book store!! I found what I needed right away and no wait time for check out.

Elizabeth O'Hair

My rating reflects the book store portion only. I have not eaten at the cafe. 5 stars. It's simply a lovely little store.

M. M. Summers

We had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed browsing all the beautiful books!!

Andrew Davis

Neat little place. Menu caters to a light breakfast or lunch, but everything I've had is very good, especially all the soups. Also a very unique book store on the other half of the shop, good place for finding gifts that don't come from a big box store.

Aimee Moran

From the outside, Watermark looks like a crunchy-granola hippie hangout - credit the large 1960s-style artwork on the front. This isn't a bad thing. But once inside, the store reminds me strongly of Border's before it went corporate, or the old Jocundry's bookstore in East Lansing in the late 70s. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff, nice depth of literary stock, interesting/amusing/fun trifles, flashes of humor, geeky without the "geek" label. Also, the chocolate chip-banana scone was good, the coffee was fresh, and the cafe was clean. It is clearly a local book-community hangout. I just wish the store was closer to where I live!

Mark Westbrook

Good coffee, good service, good choice of books that they have available on the shelves. Though it is still a little expensive. I just spent $20 bucks on a 400 page paper back, while the same book was available online for $15.00, and that's including shipping. I am also an independent author with a book on their shelves. There is a $50 stocking fee for three months, but that's not bad compared to two other books stores I've worked with. Also, not only did Watermark put my book in the consignment section, but also in the fantasy section with the cover out. Some bookstores charge you extra for that. Also, I love that they have a local author book fest were we can get some marketing for the book. However, their last local author festival that I was hoping to showcase my book was cancelled because I was the only local author that had been planning on going to the meeting, and the lady on the phone said they liked to at least have 3 local authors for the festival. I totally understood, and I even got an email a few weeks later saying that even though my 3 months were up, they were going to go ahead and keep my book on the shelves for another 3 months, and I would NOT have to pay the fee. I haven't seen any of the rude service that has been mentioned in the other reviews.

Benjamin Smith

Went to their strawberry moon book swap. The smell of the coffee was so seductive, I had grab a cup before settling down to chat about the books and the charity the event was aimed at supporting. Good place for literary nerds like me who want to find something new or unique.

Jeff Agnoli

My absolute favorite bookstore. A wonderfully diverse selection of books and a knowledgeable and helpful staff. I no longer live in Wichita, but visit every time I come into town.

Stephanie Ratsamy

Consider coming to Watermark books to shop for your books, gifts, and coffee/drink needs before ever going to a chain or ordering online. It's nice to see this book store thriving and it has a great atmosphere. The owners are very kind, and I would love to see more people supporting their business. Also, check out the table that displays the feminist literature!

Gaspar Nothwood

There's a full bar, tables, and booths. It very much feels like this has long been a bar before a coffee shop. Still, there were baked goods and other light bites available, much like you'd see at any coffee shop. Plus a full menu of all your caffeinated favorites to enjoy alongside books, board games and more.

Joy Johnson

Very helpful staff, nice selection of Books. Love the coffee!

Jenny Helms

Beautiful artwork, quirky, and a neat selection of books. I gave a presentation in their basement area and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They have a smaller selection of books than your chain BNN, however, they seem selected and shown with care unlike your typical "chain" book stores. Supportive of local Kansas authors as well :)

Jeff Cowgill

Wonderful, independent bookstore with thoughtful and engaging selection, super-nice people and an excellent environment. Wichita's best bookstore has kept me coming back for years – whenever I'm in town I always make a trip over to Watermark. Note: in this horrible year, Watermark is being responsible and thoughtful with it's covid-safe practices. Thank you for working hard to protect us while you provide us with the escape we need.

Michael J. Manley

A gem of Wichita. Locally owned bookstore, deli and cafe. Lots of authors stop by promoting their books and doing signings. Definitely worth going out of your way to support this bookstore. Located in the old historic College Hill area, perfect for a run/walk with Watermark food/coffee after!

K Miller

What a fun, unique, independent bookstore! Definitely a hidden treasure for books and Wichita related merchandise.

Andrea Rausch

Warm and friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable and attentive staff, and eclectic selection of books and gifts. I am always pleasantly surprised by the treasures I find here.

A Prather

You can count on the helpful staff at Watermark for great reading suggestions. They pull in authors from around the world for entertaining events and the store features everything from cookbooks to children's reading materials. Online shopping and a delightful cafe round out a great five-star experience.

Jan Bush

What a wonderful place of discovery in addition to books, gifts, and food. I spent close to two hours wandering around looking at all the different books and authors. I had a great time. I purchased my first graphic novel during that visit. I go to Watermark as often as I can. I recommend that you do too.

Ivery Kaufman

Quaint, local bookstore with good help. They are great at suggesting new things for my kids, and I like their rewards card. I regularly get $10 to spend using the card, and I am not spending huge $$ there today get those. The rewards $$ can even be used on items from their cafe.

Adrianna Elzinga

Neat little bookstore! They had a nice collection of books and arranged them well. Great place if you're looking for a gift too! Next time I go I want to try out the cafe too.

Tanya Leddy

This locally owned book shop is a real gem. It's fun to brouse and look at new titles and grab something from the cafe. Great children's selection as well, helpful staff.

sps 333

Watermark has a relaxed atmosphere and I often run into people I know when I visit. The menu offers something for everyone. While I didn't try a lemon scone, they came well recommended. It's not esoteric and bookish, but the magazines are located strategically in the cafe if you're dining solo.

Paulette Zell

If you're shopping for something special. Watermark Books & Cafe is the place to go. Good selection of books, great location and helpful staff!

Kathy Manweiler

Watermark Books and Cafe is a wonderful spot to find local books and get a delicious light meal or a beverage. While it doesn't have the big selection of books that Barnes & Noble does, Watermark often features cozy readings, Q&A's and book signings with Kansas authors. Sometimes Watermark even features free local music acts such as the Crowsons one Friday evening every month. This bookworm says it's the best local bookstore in town!

Chris M

I love an independent book store! And this one checks all the boxes, great book club a cafe and fantastic book selection! Today we scored 2 books and a puzzle!

Eric Ebron

Great place with friendly staff! I came in for one thing and they had that one thing (book ends). I'll definitely visit again!

Devon Rutledge

I really enjoy this bookstore and the cafe. They have been able to order books in for me, which is great to shopmlocal instead of going through some online retailer.

Valerie Kubiak (TheNychthemeronThing)

I like it here. The atmosphere is good, with friendly employees. The books are displayed quite nicely. As for the cafe part, the food is surprisingly good, but it's on the expensive side. The tables are kind of crowded, and the seats are a bit uncomfortable.

Jeff Slater

Watermark is a great local bookstore. There may be fewer books than a Barnes and Noble, but every one of them seems like one you'd want to read. The cafe is great, too; a good place for lunch.

Gwen Bridgwater

I hadn't been to Watermark for a few years. I went in looking for a book by a certain author. An employee helped me find it. While browsing , I saw many items that would be good for gift-giving.

Angela Caudillo

Great books and great food. Get your books here! They have a wonderful rewards program as well called Seasoned Readers. I get to the reward level way too fast.

Rebecca Saxton

Great books, and lots of book clubs meet on a monthly basis, based on genre (mostly). The café is great - and if you're anything like me, the literary names on the menu will make you grin.

Sarah Greenall-Sharp

One of my favourite places in Wichita. Great staff, always happy to order books for you, and I love the cafe.

Dorothy Wood

This bookstore has a great selection, knowledgeable employees, a cute Cafe and all kinds of programming. There are big cities that don't have a great independent bookstore like this!

Joseph Klein

A gem of a bookstore. Great food, great staff, and an expansive selection of books and other cool stuff.

Nancy Ogle

Enjoyed a lemon curd scone and coffee this morning with friends. Good food, as always. Watermark Books and Cafe has a welcoming relaxed atmosphere and plenty of people who want to assist customers.

Scott Shaw

Nice independent book store.

Robin Dauster

Watermark is one of my absolute favorite places to go for a relaxed lunch, or for longer stints on my days off. It also happens to have one of my absolute favorite sandwiches in Wichita...The "Great Expectations" sandwich comes on their homemade focaccia bread (delicious and soft), with thin-sliced turkey, lettuce, walnuts, and an apricot-curry mayo (the best part). They also have an amazing selection of knick-knacks, local items, and of course, books! Watermark also regularly hosts special events including book clubs and author events. Support local, shop Watermark!

Lynne Bird

Watermark is a local gem. We are so lucky to have a wonderful independent bookstore in Wichita. They make me feel so safe and happy

Kayla Everhart

Fantastic selection of books and other literary related merchandise. They had a whole bookcase full of coloring books! I found a few books with uncommon binding. Better than Barnes and Noble!

Linda Winter

Great location bookstore been full of great help and good book suggestions. I love it that they bring authors in for us to hear. Better than any YouTube experience

Alden Wilner

Books live here. Five stars just for that. Try the strawberry fields salad. Read a magazine. Check out the Ukelele club, the book clubs, the author visits (which are incredibly hard to pull off perfectly and people who give the place one star for that should be ashamed), and know that you are patronizing a true local business.

Dale Small

Great food. Great atmosphere. Awesome selection of books. But, wow, can they consistently forget focaccia bread and sides.

stacy jesseph

Cute book store and they carry some neat novelties for Christmas shopping etc. Items seem a bit over priced and coffee was disappointing. Staff is always friendly and helpful however, parking is a bit tricky at times.

Sean Amore

I am always happy to go to my neighborhood bookstore. The staff is wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable and the service is great.

KDP

A very nice local bookstore. Lots of tlc by the staff with attention to detail. The cage items are delicious.

Ruth Harries

The food at the cafe is great, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the store is set up well for browsing. If they don't have a book in stock, they'll order it for you.

Tracy Callard
