Castle Books Main Street in Castlebar legal

Such a nice venue and very good lemon cake

I ordered a book online, which was returned to the owner as I had to leave the address before the book arrived. I was resigned to it, but the owner reached out and was so gracious in ensuring the book was sent to an alternative address in order to reach me. I will make it a point to visit the store for sure if I am ever in Ireland!

Wonderful book selection considering the size of the shop. Great kids selection as well. Give it a shot you won't be disappointed.

Excellent coffee and homemade bakes. Staff are so friendly and efficient.

Wonderful customer service , lovely coffee. I got gorgeous birthday cards . I was very impressed. I will be back.

I’d like to add my complete agreement to the other positive reviews. This is a lovely bookshop with brilliant staff that do their utmost to help customers. If you are in Castlebar do drop in. They have a very interesting selection of books.

The loveliest place in Castlebar, both the bookshop and the café upstairs. Staff is super polite, place is cosy and clean. Cakes and scones are delicious and fresh.

An amazing little bookstore with fantastic staff. While traveling in Ireland, I wanted to buy a book on the native wildflowers. Several people recommended the Castle Bookshop, and I see why. They didn't have the book on the shelves because the book was being reprinted and the old copies had been pulled. But the clerk gave us a beautiful calendar of Ireland as a consolation. Ten minutes later, after we had left the store and stopped in for an ice cream cone a few stores down the street, the clerk found us to let us know they had found a copy of the book. He had heard us talking about buying an ice cream as we left the store, and when his coworker found a copy in the back room, he ran down the street looking for us. Now that is what I call going above and beyond.

Beautiful book store, the staff are so kind and helpful, there is also a coffee shop upstairs, you can sit have a coffee and read the book you just baught.

Good selection of interesting books with a nice coffee shop/wool store upstairs.
