While you sip your coffee and enjoy a well-earned moment to yourself, your child can set off on an enchanting adventure during Storytime!

Led by Lisa, our shop manager, published author, and former elementary school teacher, each story session is filled with imagination, fun, and a little touch of magic. Lisa brings tales to life in a way that captivates young minds—she knows just how to spark wonder and joy through storytelling.

After the story, kids can enjoy a themed craft activity that lets them bring a piece of the story home with them!

Ideal for children ages 3–8.
We kindly ask that parents or caregivers stay nearby—Storytime is a shared experience, not a drop-off program.

Join us for stories, crafts, and a little everyday magic—only at Storytime with Lisa!
