About this Event

Celebrate Spring with Books and Bouquets at Café Lafayette

Join us on Saturday, May 2 from 12pm to 4pm for a cozy and joy-filled afternoon at Cafe Lafayette. Books and Bouquets is back, and we are welcoming the season with fresh blooms, thoughtfully curated reads, and a space designed for slowing down and savoring the moment.

🌸 Build Your Own Bouquet
Spend some time at the I LOVE SMALL HOUSEPLANTS Flower Bar and create your own seasonal bouquet. Choose from a beautiful mix of fresh flowers and greenery to design something that feels like you. Whether you are putting together a gift or treating yourself, it is a chance to make something special with your hands.

Tickets for the Custom Flower Bar Experience must be purchased in advance. Each ticket includes:
• One custom bouquet
• One beverage of your choice from Café Lafayette

📚 Browse Books
Book Haven Books will be bringing a curated selection of titles to browse and shop. Expect stories that celebrate the season, spark curiosity, and invite you to linger a little longer. There will be something for every kind of reader.

☕ Coffee and Bites
Café Lafayette will be serving their always delicious drinks along with a menu of small bites. From breakfast sandwiches and quesadillas to Korean-inspired favorites like Korean Chicken and Waffles and Traditional Bibimbap, there is no shortage of something to enjoy while you read, sip, and create.

Whether you are celebrating Mother’s Day a little early, welcoming spring, or simply looking for a soft place to land for a few hours, this afternoon is for you. Come with a friend, bring your mom, or come on your own and settle in.

🌼 The event is free to attend. A ticket is required for the Custom Flower Bar Experience. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot in advance.
