Expresso Books and Beans opened earlier this spring in Holland Township, Mich., WOOD-TV reported.
Located at 3006 West Shore Drive, the coffee shop and bookstore carries all new, general-interest titles. In addition to coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, Expresso serves specialty lattes with literary names, such as the Snow White and the Death in Venice.
Owner Katelyn Coffey opened Expresso with the help of her parents. Coffey works in publishing and will continue to do so as the bookstore and cafe grows and finds its footing. She also intends to start hosting writing workshops, game nights, and book club meetings at Expresso.
"I work in the publishing industry, so I have a lot of connections with authors and publishers," Coffey told WOOD-TV. "And I've always loved books. My parents were always the coffee people, they love coffee and they always dreamed of opening coffee shops. And we just decided to do a coffee shop and a bookstore together, because it's the best of both worlds."
