Opening Announcement arrives April 2026. Stay tuned, X&O!
It's time for a Bookstore and Drink Parlor dedicated to Romance. Read. Sip. Repeat.
X&O Books is Cypress and NW Houston's first and only romance-exclusive brick-and-mortar independent bookstore and drink parlor. Designed by a Cypress native and third-generation Houstonian, we're proudly Texan, completely woman-owned and currently being built from the ground up. Our bookstore is being custom-built and curated with you in mind: shelves stocked with your favorite genres like Romantasy, Contemporary and Western. We're here for love stories that pop off the page and spice you'll be talking about long after the last chapter ends.
Anyone else need the A/C on when they read?
Because We Do.
Our space is designed for those who have always loved the genre, new bookish babes (Hey BookTok!) and Cypress community members who are looking for clubs, crafts and connections. It's all here. Plus, we've got elevated bookish merch served with a dash of wine or dirty soda. We love romance just as much as you do. It's officially time we had a space that loved us right back.
We can't wait for you to say: "Let's Go to X&O."
