Amanda Ostraat

Great little place to hang out, chat, read.

Kathryn Amato

Do yourself a favor and check out Quill. Not only do they have a diverse and fantastic selection of books, but the owners work hard to make the space inclusive and welcoming. Also their food is delicious- try the vegan banh mi!

Emily Cataneo

Quill Books is a wonderful place to pick up a book, get a coffee or beer, or just hang out! Community bookstores like this are such an important part of any town, and I was just thrilled to see this one open in Westbrook. Highly recommended for shopping, eating and hanging out!

Rachael Mack

Quills is great - was just there for open mic night and was the perfect place to relax, enjoy a drink and a variety of local talents.

Alan Fried

Went in for a light breakfast. The food and beverages were nice. Good breakfast sandwich. It was early and there were 3 people including us. The music was really loud. We asked the person working if she could turn it down a little. She said yes, but did not. We asked again and she got pretty snooty. When she came back to the tabke she told us if we didn't like the music we could sit outside. Too bad her attitude took away from a nice place.

Greg Bem

Incredible addition to Westbrook. The fact that there are so many events here makes this place far more than a simple book store cafe.

Ryan Best

Great space with great staff. Inclusive and welcoming with good food, coffee, and local beer.

Donovan Hua

Love quill! All the staff are super nice! Incredibly queer friendly space, lots of great events happening weekly! The coffee and tea drinks are awesome. The food is great, but on the pricier end in terms of cafe foods, but worth it a lot too. If you're looking for a fun thing to do, try their board game night, grab a coffee or a beer on tap and play some games! Also, prosecco on tap is always exciting!

Bob F

Would be nice if they had more than one person working. Place crowded. Took over 25 minutes to get food

A wonderful place! The food and drink selections are creative and very fairly priced. The book choices are amazing, something for all ages. They even carry locally made notecards, artwork, and handcrafted pens. They have lots of events and are so welcoming.

Natsu Dragneel

Condescending barista made sure to tell me that "this isn't Starbucks"... Kind of ironic when this person didn't even make my drink correctly. See, I, too, have been a barista. The main difference between us is that I have manners.

Marjorie MinardEsgaio

Great study spot! Loved the coffee and book selection. Very cozy and great for any age

Liza Behrendt

Already my favorite coffee shop in New England! It’s cozy, welcoming, affordable, and has great food and books. It’s LGBTQ friendly and the owners have made it a great space for all kind of arts, politics, and game.

Leonard Tan

Great place and atmosphere. We go there 2-3 times a week to play games there. They have amazing food and their crepes are to die for! Be sure to try their spicy grilled cheese, pesto chicken panini, potato knish, salads, and bluberry crepes!

Cathy Polanski

Great music?

Aleister Ailin

Such a cute cafe! Plus excellent customer service! I will be back.

ben mullen

Slow and deliberate. A great place to meet a friend.

Abel Cota

Quite a nice place. Very inviting and casual. Gets really nice natural lighting from the windows. Staff seemed friendly and the breakfast sandwich I had was very delicious.

christopher neault

Friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Stayed open for a special event for us. Great drinks and food. A must-see gem in up and coming Westbrook!

Louise A. Tyo

Friendly, atmosphere, great selection of beverages and we walked away with 6 used books at a reasonable price!

Robert Kelly

Nice atmosphere

Kelsea Dunham

This is one of my favorite spots in Westbrook - I meet with clients here, come here to work, or just have a bite to eat. The food is great, staff is awesome, and the space is welcoming and inclusive. Love love love.

Mark H

Great coffee shop / cafe / bar - great staff, tasty baked goods, sandwiches, and other small plates. Grab a latte in the morning, a beer with lunch, a glass of wine with dinner, and a used book to go along with each meal - it's all right here. Very family friendly, lots of space to sit, and overall a great atmosphere. Great place to work or study during the day, too. They also have a great selection of board games (and board game nights on Wednesdays) - everything from Boggle to Ticket to Ride to Dominion to Settlers of Catan.

Lisa Castonia

Fantastic find! Books are very well priced. Beer, wine or coffee plus a light menu in a spacious comfortable setting

Michael Burt

The Timberlake sandwich is my favorite, it's so good!

Damaris Duarte

Always wonderful!

Brittani Rebeiz

They have games, books, food, alcohol, and coffee! What more do you need?

Valerie Margaret

So good!

Donna Senkbeil

Nice to find a local bookstore and cafe and they have really good food and beverages to boot (including yummy vegan sandwiches and local draft microbrews)! Love this place!

Ashton May

Love Quill! Quaint little coffee shop, plenty of seating and fun sandwiches.

Jen George

Yummu drinks, affordable used books, a gorgeous space, kind employees, just the right atmosphere. LGBTQ friendly.

Rafael Guerra

Really nice atmosphere, broad options menu, everything I tried has been quite tasteful. The coconut water is on a specific refrigerator that makes it PERFECT for summer consumption.

Ivy Quigley

Quill is one of my favorite places in the Greater Portland area. The atmosphere is unbeatable. I've been returning weekly since it opened. They have fantastic book and drink selections, a full event schedule, and an excellent staff. I've rarely felt so comfortable and welcome in another store. Their Board Game Nights have become the highlight of my week. I strongly suggest you check them out <3

Que Sera Sera Recycled Art Sarah Webber

Quill has a great selection of new and used books, food (vegan options too), coffee drinks, beer and wine. The atmosphere is comfortable and child friendly. They host a variety of events - from crafts and live music to Books in the Brook and board games... Westbrook is lucky to have this little gem!

Todd Perkins

Great coffee and service

Vikki Taggart

Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good chai and cookies

Sarah Fennessey

I love Quill! I can never leave without buying at least one book. Wonderful atmosphere and great service. I highly recommend their maple latte, harvest salad, and turkey pesto panini.

Cool, spacious indy bookstore with an alternative bent, that has a bar that serves pastries, coffee, and wine & beer. Has books for all ages. Lots of seating for chilling, both inside and on the back patio.

Sarah Gumlak

These folks are absolutely the best new thing in town. 1) Great coffee, chai, pastries, toasts (eg avocado, or apple/brie/honey, or some spicy peanut butter thing). And... I dunno, a kindness board? You can buy a credit for some menu item to leave up on the board for someone else to take if they need it that day and don't have the resources. Brilliant. 2) Marvelous and growing book selection (mostly used but with some new stuff by local authors). I came in for caffeine my first time, and left 90+ minutes later with 5 books. 3) Games games games to play while hanging out! This includes family classics (monopoly, scrabble), my kind of board games (Catan, Betrayal at House on a Hill, Tsuro), numerous smaller games and card games (Hanabi, bananagrams), and some new titles I've been wanting to try (Azul). Overall- yay!

Emma McCabe

The perfect place to engage with interesting people and enjoy good coffee, great food and better drinks! The owners are the sweetest, most accepting people you could hope to meet! They support local artists and are building an inclusive community.

Toben Cooney-Callnan

The apple ricotta toast is unreasonably good! The staff is the funnest! The atmosphere is perfectly versatile! The events are well thought out! Basically, this place is the best thing to come to Westbrook for. Also, tip the servers generously because they deserve it!

Cecilia Low-Weiner

I love this place from the minute I walked in. You can just immediately tell how much thought has gone into the place. I spent hours at the bar, trying Prosecco cocktails, espresso drinks and some of their cheese and charcuterie. Everything was spectacular! They have tons of boardgames, not your average monopoly and Uno either, but really good strategy games that you can congregate with friends and play for hours. There is a chalkboard with community activities almost every night of the week- something for everyone. I can't recommend this place enough. If I could live inside it, I would!

Ayden LeRoux

Most inclusive bookstore I know of! The owners, Matthew and Allison, really put consideration into the books on their shelves and they create incredible community by hosting board game nights, live jazz, readings, and a whole host of other fun and inviting events.

Ed Wilkinson

There is nothing this establishment needs that it does not have.

Terrill Waldman

a thoughtfully curated selection of books, this bookstore has great coffee, beverages, snacks and a whole host of fun events. If you love books and small businesses (run by great people) you will want to check it out.

Dj Hewey

Quiet place. Good food

Derek Viger

Great food and drinks. Nice selection of books. Good place to take kids

Tracy Ward

Good place to meet friends. Good coffee.

Nick Bull

Really great café! Excellent beer, coffee, food and atmosphere. Music is always wonderful and the staff are so nice! New favorite place to go

Elissa Bate

Amazing coffee and friendly service! I love the atmosphere and will be back often!!

Benjamin Helstrom

Best tasting coffee shop in town, better than the Daily Grind. Nice staff, great vibe.

Katherine Butler

This place could not be more perfect! From the exceptional music choices, to the eclectic, used books for sale, to the delicious beverages, everything is so wonderful! Well done!

Chelsea Bartlett

Quill is such a lovely, friendly space! It's so nice to have a locally-owned bookstore in the area where I can camp out for a day and work. The amazing food and drinks are an added bonus that I couldn't be more thrilled about!

Jennifer Ledoux

A comfortable, homey location with excellent people who frequent the place.

Stuart Watson

Great atmosphere.

Liz Pelletier

The hummus plate and farmhand sandwich were delicious! I also had a very well made cappuccino. The space is big and bright with fun artwork on the walls. But dress warm in the colder months, the cement floor keeps it on the cooler side.

Dylan Agosta

This is quite the hidden gem! I stumbled upon Quill when I was walking back to my car from House of Pizza and I couldn't be happier with the discovery. The place is huge and properly air conditioned, the food is SO good, and the drinks are just what you ordered. But more than that is the staff - top notch! Always smiling and attentive. They also have a bunch of events and live music, such as game night every Wednesday; they do have games on tap that you can play any night though! I've yet to be unimpressed.

Cody Hussey

Thoroughly enjoy the peaceful setting here on a weekday morning. Plenty of seating outdoors and in. Browse for a book or work on their WiFi. Options include coffee and Sandwhiches for the morning and beer taps for after work. Always a recommended spot to visitors in the area.

Kari Beaulieu

Quills is a fun and laid back place which is super supportive of the lgbtq community. Staff are really friendly and there are tons of monthly events.

Light Biaggi

Nice spot in Westbrook

Kristen White

Great food, excellent coffee and iced tea, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere.

F. Valle

Great place to have some coffee, beer, lunch, snack, read a book, play one of their many game options, have a book club meeting and etc. I was so happy that they still had some pumpkin sauce for lattes. It was delicious. They also sell local bakeries goodies. Had a breakfast sandwich (available until 11:30am), on a Rose Foods bagel. Not the biggest fan of those bagels, would try the sandwich again if they change them.

Lucas Loredo

ウエストブルックの1番好きなレストランですよ！Quill has, hands down, the best curated used book collection I’ve ever seen. Top it off with incredible sammies, coffees, beers, wines, board games, events, and crepes (those Maine blueberries!), and you’ve got yourself one of my favorite bookstores/coffee shops of all time!

Lauren Rantuccio

Great atmosphere for reading, studying, or having a cup of coffee with friends

Sumner Swett

Great at.osnphere and great staff

Hunter Beck

A great place to have an after work/ escape from life big kid snack, read a book, and pretend like you don't have responsibilities. Very chill, very creative. Great food, drinks, and tunes. Small but decent book selection that will likely grow over time as the space can afford more books because of its size. A huge departure from the average Westbrook faire, and wonderfully so.

Peter Karasopoulos

Great place, excellent food and coffee, very welcoming.

Jean-Pierre Kabanga

Nice place, nice, nice product.

Bruce Rusk

A quiet and welcoming so in the heart Westbrook

Sarah Gormady

Love love love!

David Amos

It's a great place to go and relax or to go and have fun with friends

Victor Dumais

A place of good taste. They clearly curate carefully--good books, good food, good drink.

Cassandra de Alba

Quill is the perfect place to hang out and get some work done or catch up with friends, and they always seem to have a book I want!
