Novel Blends is such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Amazing coffee and a great selection of books. Tom was so personable and heart warming. The Holy Spirit rest here for those looking for a peaceful space to spend studying or connecting with friends.

I came in what to try a new coffee shop, I think the coffee was good but the store was so quiet and empty it had such a weird vibe. No music, no one talking just the hum of the machines behind the bar. When ordering the barista didn’t ask any questions, didn’t talk just looked at us waiting for our order.

Fantastic coffee in a chill ambiance for a decent price! With a list of Seasonal Special Lattes, a diverse coffee menu and delicious snacks from a local Baker, we found it easy to spend an afternoon chatting and sipping in this spot meant for vibes and conversation. It is not intended for a business destination if you’re looking to get work done, but take a look at the great selection of books or bring some materials and enjoy the space created to enjoy your Barista-Prepared drink in peace. One Seasonal Latte and a Cappuccino were both enjoyed immensely by my wife and I and we would put it up against any other coffee you can find on this “Downtown” BG strip. Excited to go back and sample more of the baked goods and specialty drinks!

Cozy coffee shop lined with a variety of books, including classics. There are nice, comfortable seats, as well as a large seasonal menu. The lady behind the counter is very sweet and gives helpful insight into the drinks.

I don’t want to say this place is bad by any means. But it’s weird. Atmosphere is odd and no one said a word to me when I came in. I didn’t even see anyone. I felt like I snuck in when they were closed. But was there during business hours. I went for the books more than the coffee. Which was disappointing. When it’s half the name you expect more. There’s MAYBE 100 books and some have multiple copies. I looked through them in 5 minutes and felt awkward doing so. The books seem like an after thought. There isn’t much seating for people to just relax. It’s just one giant shared table in the middle.

Excellent coffee shop. I thoroughly enjoyed my Saturday afternoon, drinking iced coffee, listening to live music, and eating baked goods in the relaxing atmosphere.

Great Coffee Shop! Great atmosphere… coffee is very good. My wife says that the baked goods are wonderful. Classical music was being played quietly when we came. A good place to visit and read, relax, or work during the day.

So I am picky with my espresso and lattes.. so when I say Nobel Blends has some AMAZING tasting espresso and latte flavors I mean it. I’ve tried so many local coffee places and this one makes it near the top of my list. I got a simple iced caramel latte with almond milk and the caramel flavor was perfect and didn’t taste cheap like some other cafes. The cafe itself was beautiful and charming and felt exactly as a cafe should. I met one of the owners today and she was so sweet, kind, helpful, and made the cafe feel so welcoming and personable. I don’t know why I haven’t been here before today but for now on this might be my new go to cafe

I passed this spot by chance, completely unaware that there’s yet another cafe in Bowling Green, OH. I’m sure it’s no help that Google has them listed merely as a bookstore whereas they are indeed both a cafe and bookstore. The space is very clean and well kept, and most importantly, the coffee is wonderful. While they have specialty drinks, our general go-to order is a simple latte with nothing added. It’s in a latte you can tell whether the coffee has been roasted well or not, and Novel Blends uses some superbly well-roasted beans. My husband and I had given the ever-popular Grounds about four or five chances, and while their community space is attractive, the latte tastes like little more than hot milk (even with double shots of espresso!). The latte at Novel Blends though is as robust as that of Flatlands at a more attractive price point.

Our favorite coffee shop in BG! Great coffee and activities for our little kids to do while we sit and talk. The owners are great people we always enjoy talking too!
