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❣️
What a magical place staff are super helpful. Books 🤗 plus if they done have it they get it for you asap
Coffee is great.. it's an experience not to be missed
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.
the bookstore is nice and neat. there is a wonderful variety of books even a lovely children's section. they sell some snacks and drinks. there is some quite nice drawings on the wall which I've attached pictures for. I would revisit and bring others to come browse and shop.
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!
Good staff that know about the books! And interesting book launch events always.
Attended a book launch and it was an excellent event. Such friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. Excellent selection of books that you won't find elsewhere.
Best bookstore ever. Visiting there will make you simply want to pick up a novel
Great spot for serious book lovers. Great kids section. They have awesome events like readings quite often as well.
One of the truly old style book shops in town, a little hidden gem. Great little coffee shop and reading space.
Best bookshop in Cape Town. Staff that are knowledgeable and interested. Regular book launches and talks. Cute coffee shop and couches downstairs.
Lovely atmosphere for book shopping. Excellent selection of books and regular events. Has a small coffee shop
One of the best book joints in town. Very cozy and an awesome venue for book launches.
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.
This bookshop is the dream. The staff is really nice and incredibly smart at giving suggestions. Their newsletter is like a treat awaiting in my Inbox every week.
Truly pleasant experience, every time. Serious about books, serious about customers. Coffee downstairs.
