Although they've made the bookstore smaller and made the cafe larger, the place is still a charming place where many Berkley School of Music students and the others mingle with food and each other among a stack of books and magazines! I really like this place. The food is surprisingly better than you would expect from a bookstore. Obviously, however, you don't go there for the food....
