Simply one of the cutest bookstores in Ottawa with such an amazing staff! The store is packed full of books (even some pretty unique finds) and also has such an array of extra goodies, it’s easy to lose track of time from all the browsing! A great selection 2SLGBTQ+ books too :) will definitely be coming back!

For a small little store, this has an excellent variety of books, well organized, with friendly staff. Love that there’s a good-sized section featuring local authors, that it’s incredibly easy to order items not held in store, and that they are getting very involved in the community after only being open less than a year. Feels like they’ve been part of the neighbourhood forever!
