A great bookshop with good coffee and a relaxing seating area. I got a hot chocolate and it rates right up there with some of the best.

The coffee was good, and though their literary ideological spectrum is very limited, most of the books offered are of quality.

Great place to have a coffee and read a book. Really comfortable and quiet. Good coffee by the way.
