Books (and more books) all day.
First Light is a lovingly operated, independent book shop in Austin, Texas. It’s the bookstore, coffee shop, wine bar, cafe you didn’t know you couldn’t live without. Tucked in the historic Hyde Park neighborhood in an old post office, we opened our doors in August 2023 and are open seven days a week. See you at the shop.

Behind the Books
We recently celebrated our first birthday, and to mark the occasion we published our first annual Book Report. It's a catchall of stories and stats from year one of First Light, and we’d love to share it with you. From special member memories to quirky bookstore factoids, it showcases the moments that have woven together our community. Join us on Saturday, September 14 for a bookshop block party to mark the milestone!
