Stacks Book Club - Oro Valley, Arizona

I just wanted a drip coffee. It’s 1:30 and they said they were out for the day and offered me an Americano. So I got to pay more for coffee I like less and no free refills. I was planning on buying a pastry also but nothing they had looked appealing at all. I love the idea of the place and the atmosphere is great. But I doubt I’ll be back for coffee. Starbucks will be opening very nearby soon…

This place is a gem! I work remotely and this is one of my favorite places to grab a coffee and focus on work for a couple hours. It can get busy depending on bookclubs and Fridays tend to be extra busy, but I have yet not been able to find a spot to sit.

I've attended two of the book clubs, both had over 20 people in attendance- this would be my only con as you really don't get a chance to know other attendees because there are too many people. Overall it's a great place, lattes are on point, it's normally mostly quiet, wifi is great, book selection has all the top sellers, and it's nice that everything is local. 10/10 would recommend stopping by.

I’m so excited about finding this coffee shop and bookstore combo near to me. I live in OV and up until now we didn’t have a coffee shop that would be open after 2pm. I’m not a fan of Starbucks coffee and I prefer local businesses.
It has a nice atmosphere, the music playing is not intrusive, they have a good selection of books to browse. I liked my latte and the prices are comparable to other coffee shops on town.
I’ll be visiting this place often for sure!

The obsession I have with this little bookstore & its cafe is exponential. My favorite spot to visit in Southern AZ. Highly recommend for a relaxing afternoon! They also have the BEST events. Getting tattooed in a bookstore? Priceless. ❤️?

I met a friend and client at Stacks yesterday. I’m so excited to have an independent book store in OV. And the coffee bar is a nice addition too. And they sell beers and wine as well. Looks like our next book club has a new place to check out.

My first visit here lasted 8 hours. A friend and I befriended another customer and one of the employees, to the point where we are connected on social media and share recommendations. I've been back a few times now, despite living about 50 minutes away.

The events here are fun! The book selection is impressive for a small indie bookstore! And the food/drink is delicious!

Consider me a regular, Stacks!

This is an amazing little independent bookstore with comfy couches and delicious fresh sparkling juices that are so refreshing in these hot summer months (among the other standard coffee shop beverages and snacks which they also have!). I don’t live in Arizona, but I plan to be a regular here every time I’m in town visiting my family. Such a gem to Oro Valley!

This place is a gem. It's the cutest indie bookstore+ cafe with immaculate vibes. Their drinks are always fantastic (I've literally never had a better chai latte - I like mine with maple, the lotus drinks are also so much fun.), they have local baked goods from Bubbes Bagels, Cals Bake Shop, and Prep+ Pastry on weekends. Lots of vegan and gluten free options!

The selection of books is pretty good, and you can always ask for an order! No doubt you'll find something you're interested in. If you're not sure, pick up one of the staff picks for a discussion group!

Crispin created Stacks to be a community space, and after feeling lonely as a new Tucson resident, I started attending book clubs and visiting the store regularly and have made some really amazing, beautiful friends. I'm telling you, the energy in this place is full of love and magic.

So come! Meet up for wine and a chat with a friend, set up and work for a while, find your next favorite read, enjoy the atmosphere, make some friends, attend the events. I'm a Stacks fan for life.
