Marisa’s Reading Club at La Patisserie: Hosted by Don’t Be Strangers | Austin, TX

An evening for reading, connection, and staying a while…

Marisa’s Reading Club, hosted by Don’t Be Strangers, invites you to slow down and settle in for a cozy evening at La Patisserie. Bring any book you’re currently reading. There’s no assigned title and no pressure to prepare. Just time to read quietly together, followed by relaxed, thoughtful conversation.

As the café shifts into evening mode, enjoy hot tea, coffee, wine by the glass or bottle, cookies, and cake slices, with special event-only offerings available throughout the night. It’s the kind of setting that encourages lingering, second cups, and one more chapter.

To make the night even sweeter, guests attending the reading club can enjoy:

50% off pastries during the event
Special pricing on bottles of wine

Whether you’re craving something small and sweet, a comforting slice of cake, a latte, cup of tea, or a glass of wine to sip while you read, this evening is designed to feel cozy, indulgent and communal.

You’ll spend part of the event quietly reading and part of it in easy, open discussion. Come solo, come curious, and let the atmosphere do the rest.

This event is perfect for:

Readers who want community without commitment
People who love bookstores, cafés, and social evening rituals
Anyone looking for a cozy Austin night that doesn’t revolve around loud bars

What to expect:
Bring-your-own-book reading time
Casual group discussion
Tea, coffee, wine, cookies, cake slices, and pastries available for purchase
Pastry and wine specials
A warm, intimate café setting

Come for the reading. Stay for the cake and cookies. Leave with your cup a little more full.
