This book shop is pure holiday! I can absolutely recommend it. Greeted with a warm welcome u get well collected books. From historic over romantic to cooking books. There is definitely one book fitting to your taste.! You can read in store in the cozy little back yard if you want! I bought a BOSH! cookbook. There are also delicious different kind of coffees. I had the flat white, my friend a cappuccino. Both super good. In addition we both had a piece of the self made cherry cake. It was still warm so double delicious. If you're in town and care about your well being... Step in! Greetings from Germany and Switzerland.! PS: it's all vegan, so 269 extra points.

Super cute local shop! We had coffee and coconut energy balls. Lovely selection of Irish literature and many other options. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Come here for gifts as well as there are art prints, bookmarks, and handmade wrapping paper.

The most beautiful bookshop I have come across. We ambled in by chance, seeing books displayed in the window. Slowly making our way in as it took twenty minutes to get past the wave of incredibly priced classics in the entrance. The deeper in we went, the quality, displays, diversity of reading material just kept getting better and better, capped only by the overall charming and welcoming atmosphere. There really is something for everyone here. Treat yourself and go.

Excellent bookshop! I came in here with a very specific book request and the owner wasn’t sure if they had it but helped me for ages searching through the whole place to find it! And we found it! She was so helpful and kind and I was very grateful for the help as I don’t think I’d have found it myself. There is an amazing range of rare and unique books, I had been looking for this one for a while and never had any luck finding it anywhere else!! Amazing!

Such a wholesome place and the owner is lovely. The sweet treats were spot on, and the rest of the food looked great as well!

A great bookshop and cafe combination. Lovely covered seating in the back, great service, yummy sandwiches and ginger shots. Would love to come back and try more of their food!

What an experience. Highly recommended. Chocolate peanut butter tartlets and other delights. Lovely shop, lovely friendly owner and a wonderful community vibe. And books everywhere - 2nd hand, rare and new. Bliss. So excited, I forgot to take photos!

Fantastic food, excellent coffee, wonderful atmosphere, very friendly staff. I highly recommend a visit.

Always serving delicious vegan food, like sandwiches, stew and cake.
