[ARCHIVED] A New Story Is Unfolding In Downtown Geneva

The original item was published from December 23, 2025 9:39 AM to December 23, 2025 10:56 AM

Have you heard the exciting news that Storybook Café opened Dec. 21.

This family-owned cafe will be bringing ceremonial-grade matcha, specialty espresso drinks, and locally baked pastries (one of the local bakeries is Gather Bakery) to Dodson Place. We love seeing merchants in the community collaborating together.

How it all began: Inspired by a trip to Kyoto, Japan, this family-owned café is built on a love of matcha, ethical sourcing, and creating a space where the community can slow down and connect.

Season Winter drink sips to cozy up with include:

  • Sugar cookie matcha (hot or iced)
  • Peppermint bark latte

The business, located at 407 S. Third St., Suite 150, will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
