Tennessee is a state that’s known for its hospitable offerings, from charming bed and breakfasts to down-home eateries with a meat-and-three menu. In Maryland, there’s even a unique bookstore that offers lunch on the side: Southland Books and Cafe. Centrally located and apt to carry your favorite novel (for a great price!), this darling little storefront is bound to be your new favorite Saturday hot spot. Learn more below!
Southland Books is located in a brightly colored yet humble space off of the main thoroughfare in Maryville, Tennessee. At first glance, it seems like another facet of small-town America: small, intimate, and low-key.
Step inside and you'll find yourself inundated with heaps of books. Every genre is represented on these expansive shelves, and there are books, newspapers and magazines available to purchase as well.

Southland Books is a Blount County treasure. It's a gold mine of classic literature and cheeky contemporary kitsch.

Sink into the sofa for a few hours with a good book, or perhaps make your way to the cafe...
...where a large dining space and ample seating will greet you. Bring friends and family for a sandwich and reading date, or maybe snag a Greek salad for yourself while you while away the hours with Homer.
The menu mainly consists of sandwiches, though there are veggie wraps and burgers as well. Get a side of chips or veggie straws and you're set for the afternoon. There's even a dessert menu if you're craving something sweet.
Will you be joining for a bit of literary fun? Southland Books & Cafe is open from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. from Monday through Saturday.
