Watermark Books & Cafe Is The Restaurant Bookstore In Kansas You Should Bookmark For Later

By Clarisa | Published February 02, 2021

This cafe bookstore is the perfect blend of two ways to nourish yourself. Bookmark the best of both worlds for a future trip out in the world. Bucket list item, check! We’re headed over to Wichita for a trip that will end in two kinds of treats. Why not treat yourself?

Welcome to your one-stop-shop for a bite to eat and a book to read. Cracking open a new book as you sip on homemade soup? Heaven.

Watermark moved to this spot back in 1996, and ever since, a cafe has been part of the book-buying process. Having a snack before or after you browse the shelves just makes sense, we think.

Here, you've got books aplenty in many genres to appreciate. Some of us take a while to look over the shelves, and while we wait, the smells of the cafe drift over to tempt you. Why not enjoy your new book as you eat?

Daily pastry specials, the soup of the day, and even cake are served here, perfect for a pick-me-up as you pick up what might be a new favorite.

Maybe your homemade treat will match the book you take home with you? That would be amazing! Don't judge the cake by the frosting, now.

With new books in hand and a stomach full of treats, you're sure to keep this spot bookmarked for future visits. Whether it's lunch or cake, homemade treats make the book-buying process much better.

Watermark Books & Cafe is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursdays, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends.
