Cream & Amber

New Hopkins Shop Will Serve The Trinity of Great Literature: Books, Coffee, and Beer | Eater Twin Cities

"Opening Thursday, February 28th at 1605 Mainstreet in downtown Hopkins, the new and used bookstore Cream & Amber will house a diverse selection of genres and authors and serve as a place to read and work over coffee and beer. The space will feature rotating brews from Fulton, Enki, and Indeed, caffeinated confections from St. Paul’s Bootstrap Coffee Roasters, and a tea section from Minneapolis’ Bingley’s Teas; when hunger strikes, guests can choose pannini, salads, and other light snack options. Co-founder Katie Terhune says they have “a love of reading, good beer and Minnesotan community,” and she and partner Kacey Hruby Wyttenhove hope to strengthen Hopkins — which lacked a bookstore — by creating a spot where you can grab a book in one hand and a dark roast, or stout, in the other. After the launch, hours will be 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays–Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays." - Cinnamon Janzer
