Chapters Books and Coffee

A perfect blend of ambiance and espresso. The moment you step inside, the world outside seems to quiet down. The space is thoughtfully designed to feel like a personal library you somehow have access to. Warm, soft lighting spills over dark wood bookshelves that are crowded but meticulously organized, inviting real exploration. It’s the bookish details that truly define the ambience. The scent of aged paper mingles with the rich aroma of coffee, creating a scent that is frankly intoxicating for anyone who loves either. You’re surrounded by the quiet, comforting presence of thousands of stories, from contemporary fiction on curated front tables to forgotten literary treasures waiting on higher shelves. This is not a coffee shop with a few books for sale. It is a legitimate bookstore that also serves excellent coffee. The seating is arranged so that you can tuck yourself into a corner with your new find, undisturbed yet still part of a quiet, collective energy of people reading and thinking. It is a truly special place designed for those who believe a perfect afternoon involves a great book and a great cup of coffee, in equal measure.

Wonderful independent bookstore with an incredible selection of thought provoking books. These independent bookstores are gems that need to be supported. Coffee shop college vibes great place to hang out

This was my favorite study spot in college, and I still come back whenever I'm in Newberg. It has a cozy atmosphere, and the bookstore is great! This remains a great place to chat with friends or get work done. I can't drink coffee. I wish they still used chai concentrate (like when I came here in college), rather than chai powder, which tends to be sickeningly sweet. However, I do like their tea and matcha.

1st of many visits! Coffee was amazing and had a personal touch. Books displayed beautifully, and were of popular interest. Cozy ambiance for relaxing with a friend! Friendly staff everywhere needed. (I also got excited when Insaw the book written by my fave TikToker, #KCDavis !!! Something for everyone here!

We had both an eggnog latte and pumpkin pie chai, I believe, and they were both excellent. I highly recommend Chapters for high quality coffee. They have books and ice cream as well!

Coffee shop, bookstore and ice cream shop! What a fabulous combo. Friendly staff, spacious setting. Great place to hang out and read or work. Nice on a rainy day I bet, although I enjoyed their special chai on a brilliant early summer day. Thanks Nicole and Molly for the gift certificate.

Absolutely love Chapters! The best staff, drinks and atmosphere. A great spot to spend a few hours with a nice cup either working, reading or connecting with the community.

Wonderful venue. Roomy, quiet, nice clientele. Superb service personnel. Oh yes and great coffee Highly recommend

We were in Willamette Valley a few weeks ago for wine tasting but before heading out we grabbed some caffeine here. Such a cute bookstore with a lovely coffee bar in side. Charming building with wonderful upper windows and open space. Love that there are table to sit down even though we were getting it to go. Two of my friends are pretty much purest just drip or an americano. I had a chai and my other friend has a matcha. The Chai was a little sweet for my taste but was still good. The staff was very friendly and helpful answered my friend's questions about one of the roasts so they're well informed about the coffee they serve definitely would visit again.

I loved the vibe of Chapters Books & Coffee. I really want to go back and sit for a few hours with a coffee and a book in their big, spacious cafe. I stopped by for a little coffee in the morning before a soccer game and loved it so much that I went back for a second one after the game! I'm also really interested in trying their fun and unique ice cream flavors. They looked really good.

The atmosphere in this book and coffee shop is so cute and welcoming. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The coffee is delicious! This is a space in the community I will happily be frequenting when I need a space to work, a cozy spot to read, or want to show friends from out of town a wonderful third space that is welcoming of all. Chapters was voted Newberg's favorite coffee shop in 2025, and I see why. They also keep longer hours, which most coffee shops in town do not. I found a new favorite spot! Thanks Chapters & staff!

Our coffee stop is always improved when the location has books as well! This one has both books and an ice cream shop inside so a triple threat! The coffee was good though I asked for a macchiato on ice with caramel syrup and the server questioned me and told me a macchiato isn't really like the one at Starbucks which I knew and that is why I ordered it. I explained that I like that a true macchiato doesn't have a lot of milk. She still wasn't convinced I knew what I was ordering and said she would make me a small latte. Not wanting to go further into why I wanted what I wanted, I agreed and happily sipped my latte while perusing the books. It's a small bookstore but the selection was top notch. They also serve pastries and I had a taste of my husband's old fashioned donut and it was a great accompaniment to espresso.

Coffee was horrible and staff are rude. Do not go here! The table was filthy, the atmosphere was hostile and it's overpriced.

Chapters is one of a kind. You have coffee, books, and even ice cream all in the same place. Now sometimes the store front is packed with people but that isn't all the time. It is a small book shop but it does have everything topic most people are looking for. The coffee and teas are also simply delicious. They also now have a cute coffee truck they take to events. We have always had good drinks and a fun time when we got in!

Chapters used to be THE SPOT when I went to school in newberg. Recently revisited the store and while it's cute, smells delicious and the ice cream is out of this world, their book selection could have been improved upon. The staff was friendly and quick and the place was relaxing and nice to be at, just wish they had more books to select from.

The staff is friendly and quickly filled my order. I love their chai latte and my stepson enjoyed the peach smoothie. My favorite thing those is their well curated book selection that has led me to unexpected treasures each visit.

Best place to do work, talk with others, and have amazing coffee. I love the amount of options

This is a spot downtown that has books(hence the name), coffee, and an ice cream spot called cream northwest. It's like a hipster Starbucks. You can order your coffee or ice cream and hangout with your laptop and work or whatever you want to do. They have games for purchase from expansion games, and expansion also does a board game night every other Monday. It's worth checking out if you're walking around downtown and need a coffee or some delicious ice cream, or if you need to find a quiet place to get some work done.

Fair warning... you no longer receive what you pay for at this establishment. While the book selection is fun and provides visitors with a pretty broad range of choices, especially given the smaller size of the store, I recommend purchasing your lattes elsewhere. Once upon a time (2008-ish-2012-ish), I loved this place, hanging out at least once a week while my daughter rode her horse nearby; over the years, I continued to visit when I was in the area; the last visit being some time around 2019. Sadly, the management has made changes (according to the manager on duty during my most recent visit) that are not in the customer's best interest. During my last two visits, I ordered a latte with no foam. The first time... my husband picked up my drink and didn't realize it was only 3/4 full; I chalked this up to an honest error. I was mistaken. It was intentional. After receiving my 3/4 full latte on my second, recent visit, I asked the barista to please add milk; after all, I'd paid for a 16 ounce drink and received 12 ounces, so I'm not sure why this would be unreasonable? The manager response? "Would you like cold milk?" Me: Not so much; when I explained that I would prefer steamed milk, she proceeded to explain that management had "made changes" that involved pre-measuring the milk before steaming. At first, I wondered if this was a way to save money, but that didn't make sense, since she'd offered me "cold milk". Her clear acknowledgment that the cup was not full, coupled with an outright refusal to reasonably rectify the situation, told me all I needed to know. This is no longer the shop I once loved. Next time I'm in Newberg, it's my turn to "make changes"; I'll be checking out Caravan Coffee, Sip Coffee and Lyrics Cafe to see if I can get a great latte served by a great barista, something that seems a bit beyond Chapters' recent changes.

Their pumpkin sauce is amazing!! I visit my sister in Oregon every fall and this is our first stop from the airport. :)

This is the place you should visit. If you pass it simply turn around and find parking. Coffee, bakery goodness, pleasant atmosphere, and very kind people

After a tireless day of hardworking wine tasting I decided I needed a reward; ice cream. Because wine was just an entrée. When we first walked in it totally looked like just another charming little book store. But I could smell the ice cream coming from the back of the store not that new book smell. I wish that my phone hadn't died right after I checked in, otherwise I would have taken some photos of the interesting gourmet ice cream flavors they were offering. I chose something like toasted cream. It reminded me of sugar cookies, which I love. Since I'm supposed to be on a diet, I ordered the child sized scoop. It was delicious. Frankly, I'm surprised that a bookstore would want a bunch of ice cream dripping patrons lounging around in their comfy looking chairs and getting their sticky fingers all over their books. We browsed the books while everyone got their ice cream. In just the small area I confined myself to I noticed they had quite a nice variety of books on local life from bird watching to cuisine. This is a great stop as you're heading back to Portland after spending the day in wine country. 2021 - Review # 41

Three Stars for the coffee. New to the neighborhood looking for a coffee spot to relax on the weekends get that caffeine going and just be able to chill for an hour or so before anyone gets up. This place is within walking distance. Plenty of comfortable seating. Nice little tables with plenty of space between tables. I think they were naturally social distanced. All good so far till you order. Maybe I just caught them before their first cup of coffee. I asked a question about the flavor board being my first visit and the answer caught me off guard. Well those are flavors. Really flavors on the board that says flavors? I asked what the flavors were for coffee? Tea? Bubble tea? Do they make smoothies here? Not really that bad but then compound with I get my drink and it like here you go. No questions like need more cream? Sweetener a spoon? So I assume there is some sort of bar. Nope back to the counter. Can I have some sweetner? Here it comes the rudest word in customer service....WHAT? Sorry I interrupted you. Yes can I have some Sugar please. Then I hear ..oh god.(excuse me?) Here you go I am handed two packets.. So again I sit there. Look around walk around maybe there are stirrers or spoons somewhere. Nope. Back to the counter. Can I have a spoon please? WHAT? (Are you kidfing me?) Felt like I was getting punked. Ok then if not for watching the next three customers go through similar trials to get a sweetner and a spoon I would not have written this up. I will give them another try the coffee is good and the seating is ideal.

Very beautiful place with gorgeous in kind people Thank you to the owner and to the people that comes here

I had a mid afternoon meeting here recently. Apparently so did everyone else in Newberg. The place was hopping. I ordered a large nonfat extra hot vanilla latte. It was beyond excellent! So silky, so creamy - just yum. Excellent coffee! They also had some pastries that looked awesome, but I was still full from lunch, so I passed. Coffee, books...what's not to like? I highly recommend this lovely coffee shop.

delightful. perfect for rainy day in oregon after long time at the gfu campus. chai was sweet but creamy, could've used a lil more spice

I popped in here today at the recommendation of one of the boutique managers in the area and I was IN LOVE with the vibe in here. I was just looking for a coffee, and didn't expect to find such a good one in a local bookstore. I just ordered a simple vanilla latte, but it lacked any bitterness or acidity that can often come with this order in unknown places. It was perfect. My sister ordered a honey lavender latte and expressed that I definitely should have gone with that, I will definitely be trying that next time and look forward to a return visit to browse the books and try the ice cream as well.

Coffee + Books?! Yes, please! This shop did not disappoint. I enjoyed a delicious decaf latte while shopping for fun gifts for friends. The girls working the counter were super friendly. It was a little noisy but that's just due to the crowd. I see why they're so popular!

A nice cozy and spacious bookstore slash cafe with ample seating in Newberg. Chapters has high ceilings and brick walls for an airy feel unlike most coffee shops where it's cramped or stuffy. Plenty of tables and chairs with room between them as well as couches and chairs to sit a spell. Free wifi with code, a nice variety of coffee and Italian sodas (and hot chocolate!). Great spot to catch up on a few emails or browse books.

We just moved close to Newberg and I needed to donate a ton of good books and stop holding on to them and found this place that accepted donations. Super cute and a coffee shop too, I will definitely be back to grab a coffee and shop for books next time I need a book. Super friendly people worked there and the coffee shop was busy so I will definitely come back to enjoy coffee and bring in more books.

A wonderful little coffee shop and book store with delicious homemade ice cream. I definitely recommend the pumpkin pie chai, it's the best in town!

A fun and cozy coffee house in the middle downtown. They offer a great and open environment for studying, meeting up with friends, or just reading a book. Staff are very friendly. Coffee is good and there is an assortment of baked goods.

Chapters coffee is a jewel in Newberg! The combination of coffee and a local bookstore is genius! The coffee is delicious and the special seasonal drinks are so good! I love how there is an ice cream shop right in the same space! They both offer vegan options as well!

Chapters Books is usually my go-to coffee option when I drive through Newberg on the way home from the wine country, since it is in the heart of downtown going the "right direction" when I'm headed towards Portland since the business district is divided on two one-way streets. But, I tend to prefer the atmosphere of some of the other coffee houses in the area. The space seems too big, and therefore underutilized, even though it is both a bookstore and coffee house. The coffee house portion serves upscale coffee drinks with Stumptown beans and they sell bags of beans and related paraphernalia from both Stumptown and Intelligentsia (http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/). Props for that. I've been underwhelmed by the bookstore portion of the business. When a Stumptown craving hits me in this area, I think Red Hills Market in Dundee gets top marks. They also have a small selection of books focused on the wine country and related foodie topics.

Cut little bookstore catering to the locals, not tourists. Locals come here to work, study and socialize. I don't know if they have free WiFi (?) but everyone in the sitting area seemed to be in their laptops. I'm not a local (I live in Portland), but I'm also not a "tourist" because I'm in this area a lot. So I really like the vibe of this place. Stopped in today with my mom just browse through the books. And my mom got a latte and said it was "not bad, 3 stars." My favorite thing about this store is that there's a lot of seating available, and they have some unique older items.

Coffee was extremely good. Same with the service. Also there are books! Does it get any better?

Most importantly - very good coffee. We each had an espresso. SERVICE: 4.5. Very friendly and prompt. AMBIANCE: 4.0. About a quarter of the space is a small bookstore, and the rest is a coffee shop and tables. It is an airy space with a high ceiling, and uncrowded tables where patrons speak in hushed tones (at least when we were there). There is a children's play area in a small separate room.

Tasty coffee shop with plenty of seating and an approachable, well-curated selection of books! Plus the scone was solid. I love a coffee shop where I can order a mocha "to stay" in a mug!

This place has Great atmosphere and an amazing staff that always make an awesome breve cappuccino !

I stopped her with her friend as we were passing through. I tried a delicious cardamom latte. It was a flavor I've never tried before. I loved browsing for books while my coffee was being made and walking around sipping my latte as I continued to browse. I'm not sure what the hours are for ice cream, but that would be fun as well. It's a great casual coffee joint. I highly recommend it.

The coffee drinks are so good! There are plenty of vegan options for dairy as well! Right next door there is an ice cream place with vegan ice cream! So sweet! The atmosphere at Chapters is chill with an urban vibe. The coffee shop sells unique books and stationery as well. A great place for a quick drink or to sit and stay as long as you like!

This is my favorite little spot in Newberg. They just renovated the front entrance with beautiful windows and entrances. Great diverse selection of books and really good coffee. A Newberg staple. Love it!

This place was great! The quality of the foam on the latte was really well done. I love the atmosphere.

Great place to relax and sip and read. Coffee was good! And I do like books. The chai latte was super tasty.

Such an adorable spot! Got the Caravan Ethiopian coffee and perused the books. Nice selection of local books mixed with top sellers. Also a decent selection of used books. Loved the peaceful atmosphere too!

The BEST coffee in Newberg, hands down!!! The bookstore / cafe / ice cream shop vibe makes for a perfect study or hangout spot. Pro tip for vegans: order the mai chai- it's a nondairy chai powder (the "regular" and pumpkin pie chai both have milk powder.) They have alternative milks and a bunch of flavor options (all flavor syrups are vegan except caramel.)

Lived in town for a few years but only now stopped in for a visit. I came for coffee and to test out the baristas. Two younger guys were working the bar and they proved to be talented baristas and very well informed about their coffee. I arrived shortly after opening and the place was slow, so the guys took the time make an extremely well balanced latte, and engage in intelligent conversation about their different coffees. Today they were serving Coava which I've tried in the past at other places and wasn't particularly impressed with, but these guys pulled some quality shots and had the right milk balance. I'm kind of a fan now that I've seen it can be used well. They also appear to have a large seating area, more than most shops. I'd say this place is 70% coffee shop and 30% book store. Definitely a good place to stop in for enjoyable coffee and a chill environment, with interesting things to read if you stay long enough.

After living in Newberg over six months I have decided to commit to Chapters as my favorite coffee shop. The baristas all know what they are doing and take their coffee seriously. You won't get an espresso made as well at any other Newberg coffee shop. Chapters serves Stumptown espresso as well as Coava and Caravan drip coffees. They also have a ton of loose tea options. The space is large and has the best amount of seating available in town. The high ceilings make it feel like less people are on top of you. One of my favorite Sunday afternoon activities is drinking a cortado while reading one of the books from the bookstore side of the shop. While it is the better option in town here are a few things I wish they would do. - Serve pour overs. Not expensive to get a couple chemex and kone sets. - switch their cold brew from stumptown (tastes like sour grass) - rotate their espresso options

They have the best pumpkin chai latte at this place, also they have a great nitro drink. Good place.

They have great options of local coffee toasters. I also appreciate the many plant based milks they have. Oat milk and a vegan option for ice cream too yay!

Loved this place! The baristos were completely entertaining and also make a damn good coffee. According to my husband, my order sounds "high-maintenance." I'll let you be the judge: Nonfat vanilla latte with half the vanilla normally used. Seems pretty easy to me. The baristos assured me that it wasn't high maintenance. Good answer. Extra tips for you both. They also had a good selection of both used and new books, and my husband and I carted off two more for our library . I also thought they were reasonably priced, and might have paid more at Powell's, come to think of it. Will definitely stop here again!

Hands down the best chai tea. Creamy and delicious.... A kick in your tastebuds! I'll probably be wanting to come back on a weekly basis just to have this chai tea. It's that good. I've had chai in many other places and none can hold a candle to chapters.

A classic relaxing cozy bookstore with coffee stand inside, where they make mochas from Heaven.

Books, coffee, teas, pastries.... One would think by driving by or walking by and seeing how busy they are all the time, that hey, this must be a good local spot, maybe they have that book I've been looking for or a hot cup of joe on a cool fall day?? I've been in a handful of times, and always left disappointed. The book selection is lame and over priced! The coffee is not up to par, just average, does not leave me wanting to come back for more. Sure they have free wi-fi, but who doesn't these days? To sum up Chapters, they're the typical college hangout, serving mediocre coffee and the book selection they could give a damn about!

Man, do I love this place. Books and tasty beverages. Fresh scones most Sundays. Really comfy couches. I can't even drink coffee, and this is one of my top favorite places. I highly recommend their hot chocolate and chai, and they have, hands down, the best selection of loose leaf teas in town.

Look they serve stumptown and are good at making it. What more do you want? The staff is also super nice and they have a solid selection of books if youre wanting to support a local bookstore. Easily the best coffee this side of Portland.

I spent many days after school sitting in chapters doing homework, the staff was always kind and helpful and they serve some excellent coffee drinks. I always looked forward to relaxing here with a chai and doing a little reading. Chapters is very much community based and I am sure that is how they are still in business while other shops have come and gone. It's hard to make it in downtown Newberg and I give kudos to Chapters for staying true to themselves and providing excellent service.
