Malaprop’s Bookstore & Café is an indie bookstore in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. Founded in 1982, Malaprop’s provides a gathering place that nurtures community and the joy of reading. The bookshop carries a curated selection of books for adults, children, and young adults, as well as unique gift items.

If you’re hungry or thirsty while browsing, there is a café right inside the bookshop offering tasty treats from local bakeries and coffee roasted locally.

As Writer Ann Patchett so eloquently stated in an article for the New York Times: “Malaprop’s was the heart and soul of Asheville, NC, when Asheville was a sleepy little hippie town, and it’s still its heart and soul now … a position Malaprop’s maintained by being unabashedly true to itself.”
