Welcome to the NEW
Little Joe's Coffee and Books!!


With a special thanks and congratulations to Jennifer Cook, we would like to announce that as of today, Little Joe's Books and NoKa Joe's have changed hands and are now under the care of Peter Menzies, local businessman and gourmet marketeer.  

 

Along with the input of his wife, Gretchen Menzies of Essentialmom.com, and his two book-loving, candy-eating, and very, VERY excited sons, Peter plans to make Little Joe's his new home and will continue Jen's tradition of providing amazing book choices, excellent coffee, and delicious food options.

 

We are so excited to be a part of Katonah, an incredible community that we have loved for years, and to be able to take the two things we most enjoy - books and food - and be able to offer our expertise to new and old friends.

 

Please come in and say hi -- ask Pete for some food and gift suggestions, find Gretchen reading to the little ones, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the boys behind the counter - we can't wait to have our grand ideas put into place.

Book Recommendation of the Week
12 And Under

The Lucy Variations by Sara Zarr: It could be a depressing thing to believe, at sixteen, that your best years are behind you. Lucy Beck-Moreau once had a promising future as a concert pianist and her future seemed certain.  But a death and a betrayal lead her to walk away leaving her brother Gus to shoulder the full weight of the family expectations. Then Gus gets a new piano teacher who is young, kind, and interested in helping Lucy rekindle her love of piano. But when you're used to performing for sold-out audiences and world-famous critics, can you ever learn to play just for yourself?  A story about finding joy again, Zarr takes us inside one girl's struggle to reclaim her love of music and herself.
