Excellent collection of books! It’s right on the harbour walk. The store has something for everyone, but what I loved the most was the printed art souvenir. It’s a nice hidden gem! It’s costs $1.25 and is a fun experience. The staff sweet and happy to help you get quarters. There’s a small cafe inside as well.

Such a cosy atmosphere. The staff were sweet and polite, and they made me feel genuinely welcome. The store has a great selection of books, and the cafe that's connected to it is the perfect spot to enjoy a beverage while reading a bit - with huge windows facing the harbour. Had I not had to leave due to work, I'd keep ordering beverages until I got tired of reading. Definitely recommend a visit here.

I liked this store a lot! There’s a lot to see, a lot of fun things to look at, open spaces between the shelves, a cafe (I didn’t try the cafe this time), puzzles, and quite a few places to sit after picking a book and looking through.

I love this book store! It’s bright and welcoming and the employees are always so nice. It’s located right on the waterfront too so it’s always a pleasure to walk here.
