If Nancy Meyers had a book shop

October 9, 2023 Michelle Cannon Smith
Beacon Hill Books & Cafe

If Nancy Meyers had a real life book shop I am certain this would be it! Beacon Hill Books & Cafe was nothing short of dreamy on our recent trip to Boston. It is a must do in one of my favorite cities in the states! And while this spot was not created in a dream world by Nancy Meyers, the five story, 19th century townhouse, was thoughtfully restored and designed by Pauli & Uribe Architects & Cathy Kincaid Interiors. Owner Melissa Fetter is one I’m certain we all would cheer to have join our own neighborhood bookclub! Every floor a delight with an interior straight out of a Nancy Meyer’s movie. Cozy, fresh, inspiring…this space begs for you to find a book or two and linger. From the floral uphostered chairs, to the stripe carpet and printed wallpaper…I found myself hoping this spot was also some descreet bed & breakfast. And while overnight stays aren’t available there is an adorable cafe in the bottom level beckoning you to come and stay awhile.

The upper floor is the most adorable children’s shop. With every single classic you could hope for, including this iconic Boston book! Currated built-in bookshelves (note the adorabe acorn accents) are filled to the brim with new and exciting reads and an enchanting train makes its way throughout the space pleasing even the oldest children at heart.

Nooks are hidden throughout the space and a thoughtful curration of paint colors grace each floor, only slightly varying from each level.

Opened most days, note their Monday closing. They also have events and such, be sure to check their website before making a trip.

After a lenghtly stay, we left with an armful of new reads and the most charming of book totes.

Until next time. xoxo, Michelle
