Chapters & Brews is a hybrid café, bookstore, and cocktail lounge coming soon to Bloomington, Illinois.
It’s a place where you can start your day with coffee and a book, spend the afternoon working or meeting friends, and unwind in the evening with craft cocktails and live music.

Our mission is simple: to create a welcoming space that fuels creativity, connection, and community.

We don’t have an official opening date yet — and that’s intentional.
We’re currently in the funding and build-out phase, working with partners and the community to bring this space to life the right way.

Every order helps us get closer to opening day.
Proceeds go directly toward equipment, furnishings, and build-out costs for our future space in Bloomington.
So, when you wear your Chapters & Brews crewneck, you’re literally wearing a piece of the story in progress.
