I love going here! It feels like a little treat to have something like this in Edmonton. I always feel welcomed and appreciated by the staff. I actually only buy my books here at this point because they have such cool stuff! They have a great Latin American selection, and I have found some hard to find Cuban books here. They also have a lot of great books on labour/ Canadian history. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Feels like a hug.
Super fun used bookstore and coffee shop. Come browse, by some books, enjoy a beverage. This is a third space extraordinaire! Let’s keep these spaces thriving!!
This gem of a bookstore has something for everyone! I have picked up great novels, poetry books and my kids have found stuff for them too. And on top of that, you can also grab a hot drink to enjoy. The owners are amazing community contributors and even somehow host unique public events on occasion. Definitely worth checking out! Park in the neighborhood nearby and plan to poke around in the shops for a relaxing outing.
It is a great little bookstore and cafe that is tucked in to a corner of empty and soon to be filled bays. Went with an open mind and loved the feel instantly, the overload of books, the delightful handcrafted Lattes, and quiet music made the day out very memorable.
Amazing bookshop that offers both new and used titles. Very fair on pricing. I was traveling and just visiting the area, otherwise, I probably would have purchased half of the shop before I left. Love that they also sell coffee drinks! Thank you for providing this wonderful space for books and people who enjoy them!

Where stories brew and pages turn in a cozy Edmonton haven.
