Nice spot from a first glance, but my disappointment kept growing as I kept finding out that they support Russia by selling tea manufactured there, there's very limited seating, and no wifi.
The place is very simple!
There’s kusmi tea?
The very average brownie But the spinach quiche is delicious ?
Great experience!
A great secondhand book store, with great finds on every shelf. The basement is where the real treasure is, though you may have to dig around to find it!
A pretty good old-school bookstore with both contemporary and antique books at reasonable prices. Coupled with a nice little coffee shop with a few baked treats like yummy brownies. Parking at the side with at least one handicapped spot. The store is fairly accessible if you have a physical challenge (though there is a basement with extra books that is not accessible. Nice atmosphere.
I really like this spot, but I’m sad that after the pandemic they stopped being open in the evening and stopped events (at least I haven’t heard of any events since). Closing at 5 kinda sucks for the 9-5 crowd who want to cozy up with a book after a long day.
Favourite bookstore in the city despite horrendous operating hours. (please stay open until at least 6)
Such a cool gem to find in Ottawa, definetly going back!
Lovely atmosphere and great selection of all kinds of books, can’t wait to go again!
I really like this place. It is a cute used book store with very knowledgeable staff. It has a very chill vibe and also great coffee!
One of the city's best used bookshops, perhaps even the best. The selection here is reliably excellent.

Nice location and atmosphere, but not worth the wait and overcrowding.
good coffee, nice atmosphere. no wifi so don't come here if youre planning to get some work done
Man what a collection of books. Basement is worth a visit. First time visiting and I'll be back sooner rather than later.
Cozy place with a great customers service
Book prices have gotten jacked up quite a bit now, even for common and older paperbacks. Not better than going to Indigo to look for a deal. Still a good spot though, to browse content but it's becoming more and more overrated and overpriced. When trading, they only give you a couple of bucks for in-store credit just to resell it thrice the number. Not cool
