First Light Books

Mary Kathryn Paynter

“A historic post office turned independent book store slash coffee shop in one of Austin’s friendliest neighborhoods. Supported by a vibrant membership program but open to all, First Light has numerous book clubs, great events, and is always buzzing with life.”

Ari Boyer

“The second living room of Austin. Membership format book store & coffee shop done extremely well, my nervous system immediately calms once I step foot inside. The walk-up coffee window and patio is just as lovely.”

Sarah

“The coziest & most perfect book store in Austin. Big enough to browse for hours, small enough that every item feels curated”
