- Arroma AlsadahJuly 12, 2022I have tried an amazing chocolate cake. Orange almond cake was so good and tender. Falafel wrap was so good and creative. Prices are medium.Friendly stuff. The place is so cosy and relaxing
Restless World CitizenFebruary 11, 2016Place is cool if you go during a quite time and have your book and coffee together.. Not a great collection but worth to visit if you are book lover...
Y KimJune 2, 2015Great bookshop to enjoy a calm morning. It also has a small intimate cafe with tea, coffee and pastry. Try orange almond cake!
A joy of a bookshop - small but well-assorted. Friendly and knowledgable staff. Look out for their events and screenings too.
ChikaeMay 10, 2013My new favourite hang out. Such a nice place to work and have excellent cake and tea. Only thing missing is wifi.
Great bookshop that is a lot bigger than it seems from the street. Don't miss out on the cakes.
Sophie CharlotteAugust 12, 2014The fiction on the tables is really different and usually really good. V small children's department but great for fiction and non fiction for adults
Kristyn UlandayJuly 27, 2015Such a lovely book shop and the man working the register was incredibly pleasant and helpful.
Pointless OneDecember 11, 2021Here you can find books that are not common to the shelves of other big book stores in London.
Matt WhiteMarch 29, 2012Proper book shop. Tasty cakes in the cafe too. Make sure you get some cream with the chocolate cake.
Come along on the first Wednesday of every month for late opening, free wine and discounted prices.
Shayan SanyalJanuary 23, 2011The cake shop in the bookstore has a nice selection of nibbles. Monmouth coffee. Can get crowded.
Cosy bookstore, excellent collection of books. Cafe is always crowded though ):- Cosy bookstore, excellent collection of books. Cafe is always crowded though $;
