What a great place to just come and hang out. Wasn’t sure what to order lady at the front asked me a couple questions and directed me towards the perfect cup of coffee

Wonderful atmosphere! Laid back, cozy and fun. Enjoy all the books and merchandise in the store. Lots of drinks to choose from and daily specials made every day. Check it out, wont be disappointed.

Great little eclectic bookstore. Wonderful Cafe Mocha! Very relaxing vibe...

Omg the lady working was so nice she also had the best braids. The coffee was great, the books selection was amazing. I will definitely be going back

Lovely find on the North end of the main drag in Salina. Stopped in on a long road trip after wandering up and down the street, admiring the buildings and imagining the history (hint: interpretative signs would be wonderful). I always like to help support local businesses and enjoyed both my decaf flat white and locally made molasses cookie. Very diverse crowd of folks along with what seems like a diverse selection of books. Highly recommended!

If you dont go to downtown Salina, you wont think theres much to the town, but fortunately we explored just enough to find their truly lovely, newly renovated downtown district. Its a great place to stop, walk up one side of the street and down the other. Nice shops, restaurants, interesting sculptures.The Ad Astra Coffee House is everything and more you would expect from a really good, cosmopolitan coffee house. Large coffee menu, great local baked goods, and its a bookstore with new and interesting titles to boot!

Long road trips need coffee! Thank goodness this place is just off I-35. Cute place to walk around. Lots of coffee options and bakery options. I think they could make their coffee stronger, it had a tea flavor to it though it was good flavor. They had posters talking about poetry and open mike nights and other events they had there. Overall seems like a fun place to go if you are a resident.

It is very quiet and clean. The owner is definitely environmentally conscious, open and friendly. The shop is designed with everyone in mind from those just looking for a place to study or socialize and also for those that have children or looking for a new read. The coffee is generally more robust than other places however they do have many different selections. This place is for those who truly like coffee. I have been to all of the coffee shops in Salina and I would choose this over the chain stores.

Amazing atmosphere. Love their lavender lemonade! Well needed art hub for Salina.

Pretty pricey for a coffee. And Im from NYC where everything is overpriced. I had a frozen latte, which isnt sweetened. If you like your coffee sweet let them know to add flavor before blending.

With allergens the gal was super helpful in looking at labels to see what I could have.

I had a Iced Carmel Coffee it was great, nice atmosphere, great parking. I will go again..

Cool little coffee shop with heaps of books and locally procured merchandise.

Such a treasure in our community. One of a kind coffee and drinks. Great variety of books too. Highly recommend.

I love this coffee shop so much! Its so cozy! I always feel right at home. They have a good selection of books and a wide variety of beverages. I also love that they sell products from local artists and creators. YOU MUST STOP HERE!

Was just passing through Salina and decided to grab some coffee and breakfast. The lavendar latte was great, with an actual lavender taste. And the toasted bagel with blueberry orange nutmeg cream cheese was delicious! The service was fast and friendly. And to top it all off, the shop itself has an awesome atmosphere that I wish I could go to more often for studying or catching up friends. 👌

Ive only had their coffee and it was very good.

Tasty Coffee!! A great selection of coffees and espresso drinks. Pour over and french press or drip or whatever/however you want it. On top of that they have beans from roasters all over Kansas and a good selection at that. All of that being said... this place was also the comfiest coziest quaintest place. its a bookstore and that adds to the appeal since bookstores are always cozy places. MUST GO. cant describe the feeling of it but when you walk in you will feel it. If i could transplant this to be the coffee shop in every town I go to i would.

Friendly staff and comfortable vibe. I wish we could have spent more time here!

Awesome coffee shop, if you go try their maple iced latte. Yes that is bacon!

Always worth stopping for local coffee!

Must-stop and visit if youre passing through. The local artist offerings are so cool! The coffee was great, too.

Great coffee, kind and quick service, perfect coffee house vibe, great location for walking to fun shops nearby.

Clean, neat & cozy. Lots of books, music & art to choose from. Took a long time to get 2 drinks, no one in line & not busy, walked right up & ordered. Still took approximately 15 minutes.

I love this place its environment is relaxing an helps sooth ones peace if mind

I love this coffee shop! Wonderful atmosphere, great customer service, delicious coffee. I make a point to stop in every time I drive across country.

Awesome coffee great book selection and prices used. Did turn in almost 20 books and never got credit for them but things happen. Love the new patio space

Such a great place in Salina. Good coffee and fun relaxing atmosphere. Grab a book and a café. Perfect addition to the community.

Great coffee, best place to meet up with your friends or just grab a book

Cool place with used books

I had my first espresso here and managed to find a beloved book series for a great price. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff is charming and provide wonderful customer service. I dont know why I waited so long to come in.

Has a lot of charm. A real small town place, not like a chain coffee house. They are always super nice there, and they sell a variety of local products, used items and yummy treats.

Great coffee, great service. If you enjoy supporting local this is easily best coffee place in salina

This place is very warm and inviting. The baristas are great and knowledgeable. There are a lot of books inside that you are free to read. Perfect place for breakfast.

Nice quiet little spot... love the chess boards and novelty items... and the quality entertainment

I just had a vanilla/salted caramel latte with cinnamon and this is hands-down the best coffee I’ve ever had. This is well worth the slight inconvenience of the construction going on with Santa Fe street.

On a really hard day I saw friendly people I a quiet and inviting space I am pleased to say i would visit this place regularly and friendly staff reminded me of my small town friends and cozy environment make for a good relaxed time

Great place to warm up with a good cup of coffee. Comfortable seating and great atmosphere.

This was a great little local coffee shop/bookstore. The apple cinnamon muffin was the best. Great setting and atmosphere. I would go back.

Really good place to get a coffee and a place to sit and relax

Lively bookstore and coffeehouse. I drove by and saw the beautiful painting on the side of the building, which caught my attention. Parking was easy as theres a lot right next to it. When I went in, the place was packed with people of all ages playing chess, reading, playing cards and ordering from the cafe. Highly recommend stopping in here, even if you have little ones because theres a quaint little childrens area full of games, toys and books.

Second hand books and a coffee shop with fantastic hot chocolate. I had an almond white hot chocolate, it was rich, frothy and delicious. Even though I dont drink coffee, theres something cozy about the smell of old books and coffee. Ad Astra has the perfect set up: homey atmosphere, board games and cards, used old and new books for sale, simple treats and snacks, and warm drinks.Slip in by yourself or with friends and let time sneak away.

Nice place to sit and visit with family and friends.

A great place to meet people, have meetings, study, and, of course, enjoy good coffee. The atmosphere is wonderful with great decor and good music (but not too loud). There are books and games for adults, and theres a kids area, too! Fantastic, personable customer service!

Great atmosphere, quiet. Great coffee and books!

Its next to my na program

Wonderful place id chose ad astra over starbucks any day they really make you feel welcome and appreciated

This is one of the best coffee places Ive ever been. The coffee is fantastic. Their baked goods are out of this world! The service is friendly. They also have a really neat store and sell books as well! I highly recommend this place!

Solid coffee combined with a bookstore. Very nice place to recharge of youre in the area

You never did get waited on for coffee or books

Atmosphere and coffee were good.

Will to help anyone out with coffee or books.

This place has a lovely atmosphere -- plenty of sunlight and plants, and the ambient music is spot on. The wifi reliable enough to sustain my streaming music and running work programs without a hitch. Staff make you feel welcome, and the drinks are great.

Googled good coffee salina was not disappointed.

Nice feel...A cozy place to frap and chill!

This was the sweetest little shop! My friends and I were driving through, and were able to stop, get some delicious coffee and baked goods and use the WiFi. I loved walking around looking at the books they had.The staff followed Covid-19 protocols and there was hand sanitizer at the door.

LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!! MY VERY FAVORITE!! GREAT PEOPLE, & GREAT COFFEE!!!

Wonderful coffee and lovely atmosphere.

Good vibe in an unexpectedly chill town Id never been to. Coffee, wasnt a 4, but the vibe was.

I love Ad Astra. Love being surrounded by books, which you can also buy. I love that I can meet up with a friend and sit in the baby and childrens book area and allow my daughter to play, but still be comfortable enough right close to her and enjoy my coffee. Date nights are great here too!!! The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in Salina. Cozy, warm, inviting, and charming.

Sierra is the best barista in town!!! Love the cold brew!

Local coffee house with a friendly environment for all ages! One of my favorite downtown establishments!

Super nice place with variety of hot and cold drinks, nondiary milks and a bookstore to sit and relax if you stop in this chilled town. Lemonade $3.99 and iced Chai late $5.99

I am so grateful to have this coffee shop in our community. I love the culture it brings to Salina in a variety of ways and the treats and drinks are always delicious. This is one of my favorite places in Salina to go to and every friend or family member I’ve brought here has loved it!

Always fresh, tasty pastries!

Counter culture at its best

Went in today and the cashier was amazing! She made everything perfect and did it with a smile on her face. Her name was Zaine. I dont know how much she makes but she better get a raise soon!

Just passed by. Need to visit again sometime.

Relaxing, friendly staff, peaceful environment.

Friendly atmosphere and staff. Their cold brew is good. The pour over really depends on the beans of the day, but is still good. Make sure you have a Kansas Combine it will kick start your day!

Ad Astra is a homegrown landmark, and has quickly become a staple downtown. Nowhere else in town hosts diverse, multicultural events featuring author readings, music, game nights, political candidate meet and greets, and even spin your own record nights. Come for the events, stay for the delicious treats and drinks. Dont forget to pick up a book on your way out!

Love, love, love this little bookstore and coffee shop. We stop whenever we’re driving through the area. Kids love the break from the drive and playing with the toys. We like just sitting and relaxing for a bit, or browsing the shelves. Wish this was in our hometown!

Great ambiance, great service

Love this place! Very relaxing place to drink delicious coffee and just be yourself. Love coming out to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere and music. Keep up the good work.

Cute bookstore, high priced coffee.

My drink was exquisite, and the staff very friendly. The atmosphere is nice, very good place to relax, read a book, play a game of chess. I would recommend this place to anyone!

The place had a nice atmosphere and the staff is usually pretty nice! The prices are a little bit expensive but overall it’s a nice place!

So I wish Salina would have something like this when I was in high school. This is a really neat place. If you want to chill out with friends, read a book, or just have some quiet time for yourself then this is the place to be. They have snacks and drinks as well. Books are for sale at a very affordable price. If you are coming back to Salina to visit then you must stop here. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

I love their great selections of mochas and lattes. The layout, the books and the decor give the place a cool, classic, and relaxing atmosphere. Ad Astras is a great place to hang out with friends.

The staff and owner take great pride in their establishment. The atmosphere is so welcoming. I love that they utilize local resources on their menu.

I love this place the coffee is amazing the enviroment is warm and friendly and your not a customer here but you are family. Tammy and the whole crew here are the most caring people.they care about those who enter their doors and they care and support causes in our community.

Excellent coffee!! Robust, not acidic and burnt tasting like many chains. Great presentation of mocha. Drinks are good size for price. Be sure to stay and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. There is a small menu of food to accompany your coffee. The staff are superb!!A good selection of books and locally made crafts and jewelry. After being in twice they new my favorite drink.And again, superb coffee!!!!!!!Live music group tonight!

Great atmosphere, great coffee, and friendly people behind the counter. This is not a Starbucks style coffee store. The atmosphere here is very family friendly and relaxing. Lots of books on the shelves and games for the family to play. Put down the laptop and electronics... enjoy the atmosphere when you visit Ad Astra Books & Coffee.

Its a wonderful place to visit with friends. Take time to check it out, youll like it!!

This is a book store coffee shop combo. Its eclectic, quirky and good ambiance. I had an Italian soda. Delicious!

Absolutely love this place! The coffee is great and the staff are friendly. Its also a good place to find used books at a decent price. All with a fabulous, quiet atmosphere!!

Good coffee and a fun selection of books. Staff was friendly and polite.

Just Okay, nothing special! Customer service is very polite!

The king of coffee houses.

Great coffee, great pastries, great atmosphere. The only reason I didnt give a 5 is because some of the tables are too close to the bookshwlves, so I could not look at the books where other patrons were sitting without feeling rude. Might think about moving general fiction to a different section and some of the less - browsed books to the more common seating areas. Great ambience, though!

Excellent mocha & Snicker doodle cookie, friendly staff. Quiet, but not deathly quiet, a happy quiet. I enjoyed browsing the used books and gave a home to Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. Loved my stop here ☕

Love the atmosphere and amazing house blend coffee

Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and amazing. Clean and relaxing environment.

A gem of a surprise! Yummy coffee, cozy, lots of books. A great place to hang out. My only wish is that they had outdoor seating so you could hang with your dog.

Very wonderful vibe. Exceptional management. The owner is such a great person! Diverse coffee shop with a kid friendly atmosphere as well. Tons of events to attend.

Always love this place.

Culture, community, coffee and books. Ad Astra is a great hub in the Salina Downtown area. If you need to know whats happening any day of the week, this place has its finger of the community pulse and will help you out!

I love this place. It is a great place to sit and chill and drink some coffee if you want.

Very friendly and great frozen coffee. Service was great and the atmosphere is welcoming.

Good food and fantastic coffee! Relaxed atmosphere and enough space to enjoy yourself in!
