Book Nook & Java Shop

Book Nook & Java Shop sits on Ferry Street in the small Lake Michigan coastal town of Montague, offering the kind of cozy, personal bookstore experience that larger communities often lack. The store opened in 2005 and has become an essential part of the White Lake area's social fabric, a place where morning coffee, good conversation, and great books come together naturally. The selection reflects the interests of a coastal community, with sections on Lake Michigan history, nature, and the outdoor lifestyle that draws people to this part of the state. The children's section serves local families and summer visitors with quality titles, and the used books provide affordable browsing options. The coffee program features locally roasted beans, and the comfortable seating invites the kind of lingering that defines a truly great neighborhood bookstore. The local authors section showcases the writers who have found inspiration in western Michigan's stunning lakeside landscape.
