Whether you're questioning where to work in the morning, unwind after work, or get your next read - 42 is the answer.
A curated bookstore, a full coffee & wine bar, and a fireplace lounge built for lingering — designed to carry you from a morning work session straight into a relaxing evening.
New titles alongside a hand-picked used section, available through our book-swap program.
With a wide selection of loose leaf teas, Espresso drinks, rotating local wine and beer selections (including non-alcoholic options) and locally sourced baked goods - we have you covered.
Couches and lounge seating tucked among the stacks around a fireplace — made for book clubs, quiet reading, and slow conversations.
Tell us what you'd like and when you'll swing by — we'll have it ready at the counter. Payment happens in person at pickup.
Whether it's a quiet reading corner, a book club table, or a group of seven, tell us when you're coming and we'll hold the space.
Author readings, book clubs, and wine tastings — our events program is the heart of Cafe 42.
An evening reading and Q&A with a Pacific Northwest author, paired with a curated wine flight.
This month's pick, discussed fireside over coffee (or wine). New members always welcome.
A guided tasting through four Washington red wines, paired with bites from our bakery counter.
A cozy weekly story time for young readers in the fireplace lounge, with a hot cocoa or apple juice on the house.
A guided painting session paired with a glass of wine (or an NA pour) — no art experience required, all supplies included.
