I brought my friend here after seeing it online and we were both pleasantly surprised by the charm and personality of this hole in the wall. I knew shed love it because of her passion for reading but I ended up having a great time as well checking out the unique decor and wide variety of books. Make sure to check out the secret garden out back!

We had a house full of guests who wanted to explore the best of Maryland and we spent the day in Annapolis. This book store was on our schedule and it was a huge hit! The way the store is decorated and the way the books and merchandise are displayed create a nostalgic and mysterious feeling. The childrens section is adorable. The coffee shop within the store adds a nice touch even if you are not buying coffee because the aromas are intoxicating. One of our guests bought several books. I look forward to coming back.

A great atmosphere for a short break. Enjoy your coffee or tea and have a look at their large choice of books. A lovely place with a friendly and caring staff.

Ive been here a few times and enjoyed it. They have a wide selection, so everyone Ive came with could find something for themselves. The coffee is good, not absolutely life changing but definitely rejuvenating.

Lovely place, it seems you have entered into another dimension.

Who doesnt love a bookstore? Bezos didnt get this one yet! Its got a lot of old books, which are creatively displayed. The basement has a cool room with Harry Potter and other similar books in a cool display area. I didnt try the coffee. Definitely worth stopping in.

Pretty on the outside but ugly on the inside....This bookstore is a treasure. It is simply a wonder for the senses. There is a gorgeous backyard for relaxing. I went here with my family during memorial day and ordered coffee and treats. The service was AWEFUL. No one asked me for my order. When we were finally addressed the woman was snarky at best. When I said thank you for my coffee, she said yeah. When I asked where I should wait because my kids wanted to explore, she said where ever you want. I just wish the service was as beautiful as the place. The people were simply mean.

Quaint little bookstore and cafe ♡A perfect place to quietly work or hangout! It also has a cute little garden in the back for kids to enjoy!

Awesome new and used books! Coffee bar is great too.

Such a cute, quaint bookshop! I love it here. The structure is great, with plenty of books, a cafe, a garden, and a second floor. If you are ever walking about Annapolis, you should definitely stop by! Also, the staff is super pleasant. A great place, for sure!

Funky, friendly, and fun vibe.

Wonderful. Delightful. Charming. A pure gem. Great customer service.

Great atmosphere. We loved the outdoor area with a kids reading area.

Decent book shop atmosphere, said that, I dont recommend to drink a coffee there. I never had an espresso worse than this.Also not many interesting books...

Um, if I could just move in here, I would. Lovely bookstore that Id been trying to get to for some time now. Finally had some time one fall afternoon. The charm of the place is impossible not to notice the minute you walk through the door. Towards the back of the main floor theres a full on coffee shop that makes a mean Americano. I spentb way more $$ on a bar if chocolate (a specialty item)... But after taking one bite I had zero regrets. Everyone is friendly and welcoming.There is outdoor seating with a fantasy like small backyard. This is a great place to spend an afternoon, relaxing, reading and enjoying a good book. 🦊

I came in because the store is so cute and has so many great options! Unfortunately, masks were not being enforced while I was in the store (two women had no masks while looking at books) and a couple others too. I was so uncomfortable that I left. It would be a great local store I just hope they start requiring masks!

Great books and coffee shop. Cute patio out back. Good for kids too.

Great coffee and tea blends. Awesome scenery the book store has much to offer and the outside seating is wonderful

Such a nice spot! Two floors of books, nice cafe with a small outdoor seating area.

A wonderful place. A true gem. Magical.

Not a big bookstore, what they’ve got is not a lot but enough. The environment is really welcoming to everyone. It is friendly and comfortable. And you can also grab a cup of coffee and snacks if you want.

The best bookstore Ive ever seen! Small and intimate. New books and some precious oldies next to each other. Friendly people try their best to give you the best information about the literature youre looking for. By the way: The very best coffee in town. You really have to enjoy it in the small garden, which seems to be right out of a fairytale.

Great bookstore and coffeehouse. Would go again and again. Lovely back courtyard.

Wish there was a place like this in my home town! Friendly service. Great books. Whimsical setting.

Fun bookstore, love this creepy little cave room. They have a lot of old used books on the shelves so sometimes you can decades old books and the prices are affordable. (unless it is super valuable, then it’s in a locked cabinet upstairs)

So quaint, great coffee. I love 💘

Super cute store with a great seating garden in the back. Awesome book selection and fantastic drinks!

Delicious coffee and amazing interior. Great story time for kids... so much fun!

Excellent local book store. Plenty in stock to select from or they will special order.

Love the funky feel of an old style bookseller. Will definitely return.

Really nice rustic bookshop. They’ve got coffee in the back and a little courtyard.

Great coffee, cozy vibe, good book selection. Wish it was bigger!

Love this bookshop! One our favorites that we always check out when in Annapolis.

A nice little bookstore in which to browse.

Soooooo cute! The garden is a great area and the expresso is excellent.

Love the atmosphere and books. Happy to have found some timeless novels. Despite being a unique nook, very well adapted to dealing with the measures to prevent COVID.Look for Harrys room while youre browsing...

I’m a huge fan of books and old books especially! This shop is an awesome combination of new and used books. A scientist and nerd at heart I always bee line to their science and math section, the best ice ever seen! They have a fast evolving set of STEM texts that are always awesome (among so many other things). The people are friendly and very kind. Stop by and grab a coffee from Brown Mustache while you brows! Highly recommend.

Loved this bookstore n will make it a must-visit every time I m in charming historic Annapolis!

I come for the coffee. I stay for the secret garden.

This is everything a bookshop should be!

Amazing place with books, creative gift ideas, coffee, and a general sense of calm. Highly recommend.

The place is amazing and the coffee is perfect! Dont forget to check out the books in the basement!

Great bookstore, really welcoming feel when you walk in.

Nice ambiance and good coffee. Its a very wandering type of experience.

If you have ever searched for a Pintrest bookshop, this is it. A bookshop with old books and little nooks to read, this it. The staff are incredibly friendly, the food and drinks are great! Please go, you will not regret it. I will say, that many students study here, including myself, please be courteous in regards to their studying!!!

Quaint old bookstore and coffee shop.

Nice clean, unique store.

Delicious coffee, great staff, clean, masked, easy to order and pickup

We went to see Frolic the Fox on a Friday morning. She was very entertaining and engaging with the children. Her songs and activities were fun and everyone seemed to enjoy her. The bookstore is a nice, quaint and historic looking gathering place, but the childrens books that I saw were not the type I would buy. There was a downstairs via a winding staircase that we didnt go to...maybe there were more books down there.

If you love books and coffee than this is a must stop place. They also have interesting events being held there that was child friendly. The basement is a must check out of this hidden gem.

Super cute coffee and book store! The people are super nice and amazing ambiance and decor. Really good chai latte and really lovely backyard seating area that is very whimsical. They have lots of tables & chairs on both floors throughout the store for working too. I highly recommend and plan to come back!

Delightful in the midst of the pandemic

Neat place... Especially the garden and basement... Drink a coffee and browse a book.

This is a magical place! Wonderful spot for coffee, books, gifts for readers, and to get some work done. I rented out the space for a bridal shower in May and have nothing but positive things to say about how much ease and value there was in that experience. Highly recommend.

Love this place! The staff are friendly, the coffee is great, and the atmosphere is cozy. Its just the right size that theres enough people you can have a conversation at a normal volume but not so big that its going to get loud if everyone there is talking.

I am in love with this place! Recent renovations make this historic location even more magical. Eclectic selection of new and used books. Outdoor garden and children section makes it great for kids and mommy meetings. Apothecary room in the basement is very interesting and adds a mystical element. Brown Mustache Coffee Shop inside is inviting and run by wonderful people. This place is a beautiful little piece of old Annapolis culture.

Wonderful book store with many rear-to-find ones. Try their coffee too. You can enjoy 2 great things at the same time, great book and great coffee. Wait! I forgot something. And its their great service. 😊

This is an amazing bookstore with lots of character. They have new and used books and a coffee shop (The Brown Mistache). The owners are wonderful. This is a gem in Annapolis.

A wonderful remnant of the heyday of independent bookstores. On first glance, it appears to be more coffee shop than bookstore, but look for the narrow spiral staircase leading to the lower level and many more books that are shelved on the main floor. On a nice day, the porch and terrace are a great place to enjoy the coffee with friends.

I could spend hours here! We stopped in for a quick look that turned into an hour of browsing through the eclectic mix of new and used books while enjoying a coffee. Our drinks were so good that we made our way back to the store today before departing Annapolis - and I left with another book! They also have a fun assortment of witty greeting cards that elicited some audible chuckles.

An absolute treasure in the bohemian heart of Annapolis. Before Old Fox, the Annapolis Bookstore stood in this location; when they decided to relocate further up Maryland Avenue, we were heartbroken, but Old Fox has taken everything they did well and improved it tenfold. This bookstore stocks a huge variety of aged but well-loved books, as well as new selections especially in their childrens nook. There is a Harry Potter theme throughout, which probably appeals to the Rowling fans. Their coffee shop in the back is quaint, but the prize area is the rear garden with its tranquil green space and reading area. Love this place.

One of those places that makes you wish you have thousands of dollars of disposable income. So many cool pieces here, lovingly curated.

Awesome barista in the back serving Ceremony coffees. Love the garden and the used books in the basement. Everything is cozy and charming.

There are a great number of wonderful coffee shops and book stores in Annapolis. But Old Fox Books and Brown Mustashe Coffee are the best of them all! I drag all of my friends to old fox whenever they want to hang out and they always show excitement. I highly recommend this location. The best tasting coffee, the best selection of books and the best baristas and book people anywhere!

COULD HAVE STAYED ALL DAY AND DRANK TEA!

Beautiful bookstore, great coffee, refreshing atmosphere, bright staff, whats not to love?Warning: Not accessible. Stairs everywhere, including the entrance. Spiral staircase to lower level.

Very friendly booksellers, professional and personal. Order proficiently and make great recommendations.

I was in the area visiting and couldnt be happier that I stopped in the bookstore! The London fog was delicious. I also received an advanced copy of a book from an author I enjoy. Better than expected and the atmosphere is welcoming.

This is a magical wonderful used book store. You open the door and the comforting smell of coffee and paper surrounds you. They have bookcases filled with an variety of different books (as one expects in a used store) and a few comfy spots scattered about to sit and read in, as well as a few dining tables with chairs for those who purchased a drink or a snack.When we walked, they would a copy of the Marauders Map on the main long table (something which I had always wanted to play around with, and did so for a while).This, however, is only the upstairs, folks. Down a vintage circle staircase is the basement, filled with more books and tables and comfy chairs, as well as an assortment of eclectic decorations. While you browse the titles, you can hear the creaking of wooden beams overhead as people walk about on the main floor.After all this, we discovered the backyard, which had a little book house that appears to be designed for little ones, and tables set in and around green shrubbery, with a suit of armor guarding the door to reenter the shop.All in all, my favorite bookstore Ive been in, very welcoming atmosphere for browsing, reading and relaxing.

An EXCEPTIONAL FIND in Annapolis. Tons of groovy books and a handful of nooks to cozy in and read and drink their coffee and tea. If it’s raining a bit outside it’s even more PERFECT. Don’t plan a short trip. Stay a while and soak it in. Ahhhh books! Ahhhh espresso! Ah I have ARRIVED.

Absolutely lovely owner, wonderfully unique inside, and the books of course! Their outdoor patio in the back is great too. This local business supports the community with events and open arms. Definitely worth checking out.

I am a connoisseur of coffee shop bookstores. This is my lifetime favorite! Best welcoming atmosphere. Always a great conversation- IF you want and owners of the bookstore have hand chosen every book with love, care and smarts. Lovely for kids, too!

Such a fun, creative place to visit! A must-see if you like books!

Great

This small cute coffee shop and bookstore is nothing but whimsical. A very welcoming atmosphere with plenty of seating to peruse books, drink coffee or get a snack. Featuring a huge backyard with more seating and a childrens playhouse. A hidden gem on Maryland street in downtown Annapolis.

What a great combination of books and a coffee shop! Perhaps I overstayed my welcome, but all the cards I wrote I bought from them.

A delight

Annapolis has a lot of bookstore that remind you of the movies...old, smell like decaying paper, and really cheap but great quality books. Old Fox was totally different. It was clearly new and decorated by a much younger group. This store had such a wide variety for its size. It had everything from history, science fiction, hobbies, comedy, to some that I believe would be classified as Wiccan How-To Guides. The place itself didnt feel too crowded and there was a large part of the store dedicated to a sitting area for the cafe. The staff were friendly and helpful as well!

Cozy place with just the right books and a great coffeeshop with a secret yard.

Great vibe. Love the little garden out back and the basement.

Bring your pup, have a coffee, and enjoy am afternoon in the yard or basement... great musicians as well!

Great book collection (especially a few nautical-themed options). Very friendly staff and excellent location.

Cute/rustic independent bookstore with adjoining Brown Mustache coffee shop. Worth a visit!

Very charming bookstore/coffee shop. Amazing outdoor patio.

Nice book store with some tasty coffee. If you like books and coffee and you are in Annapolis, check this gem out!

As every book shop should be - unique and welcoming. Fox Books is literally the Shop Around the Corner. Grab a book, snuggle up in a corner, the only sound youll hear are the footsteps. Even on a Sunday before closing, the walkways are a constant flow of couples and browsers. I followed the finding staircase down to discover Harry and Hedweg, shelves are loosely labeled by category, and random baskets and crates hold surprise books, mysterious wrappings, and intrigue.At checkout, we verified our purchases at the desk, the pricing can be a little tricky, but very reasonable. We were also notified that Horcruxes are all over the building and only one had been found, so thats reason alone to return. I may have spotted the sword...Which House are you?

What an awesome little hidden gem downtown. I adore it!

It is our favorite store in Annapolis and anywhere else. We were charmed by the garden and tasty coffee. I swear fairies live in the garden.I visited the 2nd time with two children, and they also loved reading and exploring the reading nooks of the garden.I even love their attention to detail, such as funny and political wifi password. You must visit the store to find out!

Awesome vibes and great coffee. Love the decor of this place. Great local secret.

Nicest people, so feel free to strike up a polite conversation with people thereI make new friends there that way, you cant do that in Frederick. So its a welcome change.

Great coffee, great selection of books at reasonable prices, and great decor!!

Excellent..has story time lady that dresses in fox outfit, beautiful garden in back with benches and tiny house you can sit in and read, books and trinkets to buy and coffee, tea and desserts..tables and chairs inside and out

Such a wonderful atmosphere! You cant go wrong with the aroma of coffee and books, with plenty of nooks to explore.

Great place for cappuccino, a sweet treat, and a slow browse through a wonderful selection of books.

Totally adorable little shop on Maryland Ave! Quintessential Annapolitan charm and character. Coffee was delicious too!

Always end up buying 2-3 books and having a coffee when I visit Annapolis. Great place.

Really cute design decor to the entire place. The coffee really isnt good, personslly I do not like ceremony coffee, but the book store is just a great place to read and look for new books

Its a Beautiful place and the masala chai tea was delicious!!!

Great neighborhood book store, the people who run it are amazing and it is a great place to study or stop in for a great cup of coffee while walking the dogs...

Great coffee. Interesting place, fun spaces to hang out.
