The place is cute and all, but I was disappointed with the number of russian books displayed there. I understand that the Heated Rivalry series recently stirred interest in russian culture, but let’s not forget that russia is waging war against Ukraine right now, and it’s entirely inappropriate to showcase their literature. I believe that more Canadian books would be much more interesting and appropriate to display.

Walked into an amazing bookstore. It has a wide variety of used books (and a seed library!) in the basement. They have some wonderful old books and first editions. The staff were friendly and helpful. They have coffee available (though we didn’t try any). All around a wonderful experience. We will be back!

One of my favorite places in the city. A charming book shop with the main level having a new selection of books. You can grab a coffee and they have some fun novelty items as well. The downstairs is all used books, the prices vary (I find they have gone up in price lately), but they have kids books, and a wide range of genres! They play classic movies that you can stop and enjoy as you browse. Love the charm of this place, I could spend hours here.

Great space to browse and buy books, new and used. It looks like they also have book signings and readinds as there is a number of seats arranged for such events in th downstairs area. It's not super large, but it has a lot of charm and character.

Such a cute store to visit. I love the high shelves with books stacked to the top. Has a open concept on the main floor. I was told the used books were in the basement however I didn't see anything with any good deals. I love a good thrift but it was all averaged priced, which is why I gave 4 stars. Lots of lovely books, there were any with plastic around them, I believe indicating they were special edition of some sort. Super cool to have seen that. Love the vibe of the place.
