Lark & Owl Booksellers, Georgetown TX

My favorite bookshop in the area! Great staff, cute cafe, and tons of books by a diverse selection of authors.

I have been to Lark & Owl many times, and I absolutely adore their bookstore! It is the perfect amount of quaint, kitchy, and cozy. I love that they have a wide variety of items for sale aside from books, as well as a cafe/bar to eat and drink while you work or browse. Recently, I saw them advertising on instagram for people to host their next party or club at the bookstore. I inquired as it seemed like the perfect spot to host our English Department holiday party. They were super quick to respond with different options and they were so kind and accommodating throughout the process! It was the easiest booking interaction I have ever had. For about 20-25 teachers, we had the entire bookstore to ourselves to hang out, chat, play games, and shop! They allowed us to have a potluck and they had their bar open for us to order drinks throughout our event. Little setup was needed as they already have the bistro seating area, and they supplied a few tables for us to setup our food, gifts, and games. The entire evening was perfect, and they were helpful and attentive to our needs from start to finish. All of my coworkers loved having the event there and had such a wonderful time. I highly recommend booking your next event at Lark & Owl for the best experience and ambiance!

Adorable store and very nice staff. Had a grilled meatloaf sandwich, which was amazing, and had the most perfectly toasted bread I've ever seen. Highly recommend!

Really eclectic and nice. Fun play area for my kiddo. Small, selection isn't massive, but again nice.

Lark & Owl is a magnificently curated collection of books (& more), with items that, yes, you *could* order if you ever heard about them…except that very likely you will never hear of many of these books.

The store has the usual sections, genre by genre, but I would want to draw your special attention to the strength of their curated collections of thoughtful non-fiction reflections on or studies of the sciences, history, autobiography & the human experience.

Those genre sections with which I have spent significant time were equally thoughtfully curated.

Whether you make a special trip to visit, or stay after one of the community events hosted there, I would say that any dedicated reader or curious spirit owes it to her/himself to explore the shelves there at least occasionally, discovering new materials off of your usual beaten path.

The charcuterie class at Alouette Bistro by Chef Erika was a blast! I will definitely be keeping an eye on the offerings this cute bistro has to offer!

So lucky to have one of the best bookshops I’ve ever been to, right here in town. They have a great and mindful selection that they routinely update, so even if you’ve explored every bit of the shop, you’ll find plenty of new things to look at the next time you’re back.

This is, hands down, the most welcoming and comforting bookstore I've ever been to. It makes me just want to sit for hours and have snacks from Alouette all day.

The employees are also very nice! I can't remember the one person that helped me's name but they found me a perfect book and also helped me grab one from a difficult display.

The selection is really good for what doesn't seem like a whole lot of books. They're almost all newer titles, but I am branching out from my old classics.

I think about going back all the time.

This place is a gem. Georgetown is so lucky to have such a wonderful place for books, gifts, events and more. Always a treat to see what they’ve got going on. Perfect for gifting. Owned by smart women. This sounds like a paid ad but it’s not. Just a happy customer.

Amazing! I went with my 3.5 yr old girl and we had a fantastic mom date in the bistro. I highly recommend going here.

My absolute favorite bookstore! From the curated selection of books to the kid section our toddler loves to play in and the attached coffee shop, this is our go-to weekend activity as a family. Love to support a boldly inclusive shop that really offers something for everyone!

Love love love Lark and Owl! The space is so cute, distaff are super sweet and helpful, and the vibes are immaculate.

I love love love Lark and Owl! It's my favorite place to go and get lost in the stacks for a bit. The selection is great, whether it's their books or their fun little gifts spaced throughout the store, and their staff are all friendly and helpful! Last Christmas I told one of their booksellers my friend's favorite book of the year and she curated a pile of books my friend might like as gifts- and she loved them!

Boy do I love this book store and more, plus the way it serves as a foundation for the community. Lark and Owl is literally a shopping destination for our entire family whenever we visit the Austin area. It is worth the drive, has a tremendous selection across all genres, and has wonderful assortment of non book related items that make tremendous birthday gifts. When I can't make it there to purchase in person I love using their online service knowing that it supports an independent mom owned business. What a magical place!

Lark & Owl is everything you want a local business to be. They stand out among other bookstores for their unique offerings, their knowledgeable staff, their compelling and fun events, their support of other local businesses, and their values-centered and sustainable practices. It is clear that they care about this community!
