Oregon's Coziest Bookstore - Daffodil Romantasy Books In Eugene
First things first—what is romantasy anyway? Romantasy is the love child of romance and fantasy, where romance is the main event, set against an imaginative, fantastical backdrop. Picture epic tales with star-crossed lovers navigating magical realms, and you’re on the right track. It’s different from a fantasy novel with a romance subplot, where the romance takes a backseat to bigger conflicts. For example, Aragorn and Arwen’s love story in The Lord of the Rings is beautiful, but the books aren’t focused on their romance. Romantasy flips the script, putting the love story center stage while weaving it into a rich, fantastical world.
At Daffodil Romantasy Books, you’ll find shelves brimming with these kinds of stories, organized to perfection. The space has a cozy, dark academia vibe, with deep green and brown walls, black starry wallpaper, and chandeliers draped with delicate book pages. It’s like stepping into a manor library straight out of a fantasy novel set 200 years in the past. Chairs and tables are scattered throughout, inviting readers to settle in with a cup of coffee or tea and lose themselves in another world.
Speaking of coffee, the attached café is a delight in itself. Serving everything from bold americanos to velvety hot cocoa, it’s the perfect spot to fuel up before diving into your next romantasy adventure.
The café even offers mocktails for those looking to unwind with a more spirited beverage. Pair your drink with the cozy, bookish aroma of the shop—a mix of freshly brewed coffee and book pages—and you’ve got yourself a truly magical experience!
Does Daffodil Romantasy offer anything other than books? Beyond books, the shop features an array of unique gifts, including trinkets, prints, and stickers crafted by local artists. It’s the ideal place to find a thoughtful gift for the book lover in your life (or yourself).
