The Writer's Block

"Coffee is paired with paperbacks at Writer’s Block, a book store with a cafe tucked inside. Look for the birdcage filled with books to find the coffee counter, which fills the entire shop with the scent of espresso and tea. The cafe offers all the classics like drip coffee, cold brew, a cappuccino, and just straight espresso. Specialty drinks include a fizzy strawberry lemonade, hot chocolate made with Guittard, and a strawberry matcha. Browse through the store, which doubles as an artificial bird sanctuary and say “hi” to Baron the (real) bunny rabbit next to the children’s books." - Janna Karel

"The Writer’s Block is a gay-owned bookstore hosting the Queer As B**k book club, providing a literary space for the queer community." - Janna Karel

"The Writer's Block has the distinction of being the only independent bookstore in Las Vegas. There's a lot under their roof including a great art, design, & architecture section. Into cool notepads? They rotate through brands you've never seen before, and you'd die to get again. TWB has also branded their own set of games, toys, and other random offerings in a Wes Anderson meets Eames sort of way. A secondary space as big as the shop itself known as The Codex is their workshop space that hosts a full calendar of events. They even have a book machine that will print, bind and cut a library-quality softcover book in a few minutes." - David Hardy
