About US
OUR STORY
Flyleaf is an independent bookshop, bistro and bar in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. Our three-story experience is meant to inspire and nourish your mind and spirit. Curl up with coffee by the fire, unwind with a cocktail at the bar or catch up with friends on our rooftop. Browse our bookshelves filled with literary fiction and nonfiction, or host a small gathering in the Reading Room. From our seating to our seasonal menu, every element at Flyleaf was created to provide a welcoming escape from everyday life.
Our name represents the blank page (or leaf) that can often be found at the beginning of a book. As a flyleaf helps hold a book together, Flyleaf is meant to be a conduit for bringing people and ideas together. We hope you'll join us and become a part of our story.
Our Founder
Flyleaf is the vision of shop owner Lindsay Scallen, a native Grosse Pointer whose attention to detail and impeccable taste in the culinary and literary arts is reflected in every corner of our space. Inspired by her love of community and passion for dining, entertaining and literature, Lindsay created Flyleaf to serve as a "home away from home" for both locals and visitors alike.
