    Saturday, 11am, story-time, fairy cake, cappuccino. The bookstore of bookstores. The only place to be with babs that time of the week. Beautiful kids’ book selection and the rest of your literary tastes❣️

    A lovely place with a cool, relaxed vibe. A great spot to while away an hour. The books are priced well and you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the downstairs lounge. They carry a wide variety of books including some locally produced comic books that I haven't seen elsewhere.

    A great book going experience. I loved the assortment and the recommendation of books. The book store is well kept and easily accessible. It's always nice to support local bookstores as well!

    Best place to go for contemporary African literature. Atmosphere and service is superb. If you are looking for books that they do not stock, they happily order them in for you. They also host excellent book launches. Definitely my favourite book store in Cape Town!

    One of the truly old style book shops in town, a little hidden gem. Great little coffee shop and reading space.

    The Book Lounge is a lovely independent book shop with a wide variety of books spread across two floors. When I have needed a book that is not in stock, staff ordered it for me and sent email when it arrived. As well as books in the basement there are also a few chairs and sofa so you can chill out with a book. Tea and coffee is also on sale. Check the website for details of book launches and special events. In the past the shop sold very good documentary films and magazines but they are no longer available. Housed in a lovely heritage building in the centre of town.

    Loved this place: book shop and café in one, I could have spent an afternoon happily browsing, drinking coffee, and talking to other customers. The vendor carries Cape Town specific titles and some awesome literature on the City Farm.
