Our Take
Novelette earns its name — this is a shop built for the kind of quiet, absorbing discovery where you lose an hour between exposed brick walls and a cozy corner. A near-perfect rating and a growing local following suggest it's earning real word-of-mouth, though its smaller size keeps the experience intimate rather than landmark.
