A cosy little bookshop with a fantastic selection of books (considering the size of the shop!), gifts, and events. Friendly and helpful staff as well. Lovely place!

Nice, friendly staff, and an excellent selection of books. The best place in the city to find stuff by smaller/independent presses.

Have been wanting to come into the book shop since I discovered these guys last year. I just wanted a browse but ended up asking for some recs from Becky who was super helpful (always a good sign when you get picked out books you’ve read, I think!) They sell exclusively indie published books, so you know you’re supporting small. You’ll find so much more interesting stuff in here than a chain bookshop and enjoy a better conversation with intelligent, passionate staff. They do loyalty cards as well which is the DREAM and sell hot drinks!

Amazing!! Its such a cute little store, full of colours and books - Michael made me a recommendation that got me out of my months long reading slump (Convenience Store Woman), he really knows what he's talking about! Highly recommend going in, even if it's just to browse, their selection of books looks incredible.
