A quaint little coffee shop with good coffee, plenty of seating and a wall full of books! Had a nice visit with a friend and a great cup of coffee. Unfortunately the scone that I ordered was not what it stated in the case, and it was burned on the bottom. I ate what I could anyway and noticed the sign was changed after the fact. Would probably try again and recommended to my mom who lives nearby.

Bookworm Cafe is a new, hidden gem to the City of Rogers. The food, ambience and service was simply outstanding. I cannot wait to make it back there. Ordered two Croissant egg sandwiches, a coffee and water. Chef Aaron Hagerdorn and his family do a great job at running this establishment. The croissant sandwich was superb and the potato chips were delicious. Can’t wait to recommend this place to friends and family.

Vanilla Latte was great! Felt like $6 felt pricey for the mug size but taste was great. Atmosphere was so cozy and loved all the books! Would come back :) my friend said food was good!

Open on Sundays now! Absolutely adorable! I drive by it to work in the mornings at 615am and from home at 430pm so I miss it completely on work days and on Saturdays, they're family commitment days so I'm pulled 101 different ways those days, but when I heard it was open on Sundays I made sure I got my fix. Went at 9am. They open from 8 am-2 pm. Ordered a Hazenut latte and quiche, and my daughter ordered a cappuccino with a chicken avocado wrap. Also, I had to try the cinnamon bun. We love the quiche and chicken avocado wrap. The cinnamon bun is topped with vanilla bean frosting, and it comes cold. It is on the harder side. I have sensitive teeth and gums, so I have a preference for softer food, but that's it, nothing against it. I ate the center, and my daughter liked the crunch, so she ate the outer. Absolutely delicious. We spent a good hour and half here. Very zen!

By far the BEST breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had!!!! I had the BLT with an over easy egg. It was so flavorful and the garlic sauce was the perfect touch. My iced coffee & banana bread were so good too!!! I will definitely come here often and I can’t wait to try other menu items, I am truly so impressed! Not to mention the atmosphere was also so cozy and friendly. The workers were all extremely friendly & made us feel very welcomed. :)

My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch here today. There were many fun options and the food was amazing! We enjoyed looking at the books and it felt so cozy. We went with a burger and then the smoked turkey sandwich. Also had a little dessert, the salted caramel toffee cookie was to die for! My only wish was that they had a half sandwich/soup option on the regular menu (offered on the senior menu) as I would have liked to try both. Can't wait to go back for coffee and pastries next;

Really excellent food-- things that are supposed to be crispy they make darn sure are crispy. They also get the poaching on the eggs Benedict perfectly oozy. Their drinks are made with Folly coffee and are done pretty solidly. Sort of narrow seating area, but it goes back a ways, and they have a bookshelf packed with books to invite patrons to stay awhile. Busy on Sundays during brunch, but that speaks to how popular it is.
