Possibly the most enchanting bookstore I've ever had the pleasure of wandering through. There is something for everyone here and things to peek at in every nook and cranny. Grab a drink from the café at the front on your way in, and enjoy.

This place is lush. A perfect place to come have a coffee and read, and to spend a few calm hours in an otherwise chaotic city.The drinks and snack selections were great. And the book store itself was stunning.An absolute oasis.
