This is a quaint second-hand bookstore with a wide selection of titles to choose from. It combines a range of curio gifts and a childrens section. Theyre especially well known for their gourmet milkshakes and speciality cakes. Worth a visit
Great milkshakes and a very wide variety of second hand books. Awesome staff
From an Anonymous Customer : ❤️JUST LOVE Rainbow Books 🌈 been a customer of theirs for years, Vanessa & her team went above and beyond recently, I am having to self isolate, many of you know how tough it is.I sent a message requesting specific author, made EFT payment & did a drive by pick up! THANK YOU GUYS 🥰, having something to read makes my days so much more tolerable 📚
Personally I think this place is just fabulous 👌 bought books only .I couldnt decide on one book so I ended up taking 6 of them , The bibles are really something I was looking for .Price range is very reasonable much cheaper than other places I been to and wide range of stuff ,interesting really.Staff is friendly and helpful .I will definitely go back again and also recommend this wonderful book store.

Fabulous variety of books. Prices are affordable and staff very friendly and helpful
Best milkshakes! Nice to sit down or just browse through all the books.
Delicious milkshakes. Second-hand book store with some hidden gems (books).
Visited there with my grandson....well when the milkshakes arrived!!! I dont know who was more speechless...him or me!!! Wow!! And such friendly service....the bookstore itself is also very well stocked - not huge but with a good selection of books - with a special section for the kiddies - will definitely be back for both books and a sweet treat...
A great hidden gem of the area. They have a lot of fiction, but quite a bit of non-fiction (my primary interest). They work on a swap/credit basis, e.g. if you want to get rid of a book and they want it, they will offer you credit for it, which you can off-set against books you buy from them. Please check them out and support them.
What an awesome book shop, friendly staff and will go back for more. Great variety of books.
Friendly service and awesome atmosphere
Friendly service and they have a variety of authors. They have the best milkshakes

Awesome atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Beautifully quaint bookshop, with delicous gourmet milkshakes!
Love their books
A quaint gem in the heart of Hennopspark. It is surprisingly quiet given it being situated in a relatively busy centre and the service is really outstanding, with friendly, helpful staff. While the food may take slightly longer than at other mass-market establishments, it is prepared with care (which can be tasted). The milkshakes are a stand-out item, with many variations on offer that are true to their names. I have yet to try the cakes, but Im certain they will be amazing as well. The book store is well-stocked and it is great to search out some books after a lovely treat off the menu.
I spent a very pleasant hour at this delightful little shop. I recommend their toasted sandwiches, they are delicious. My tea was perfect, and I enjoyed browsing through the biographies.
Brilliant place, they always have a good selection of books for anyone looking, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Also, the bestest, greatest, most delicious milkshakes ever!
Wonderful bookstore, with great service.
Nice environment.
An amazing experience every time. My place to un-wind with amazing food and books
This is an escape ship into another world. Loved my first experience
Calm, soothing atmosphere, were you can browse for something new to read and have an amazing cappucino. A morning well spent.

So awesome to finally find a 2nd hand book shop. A great selection of books and very reasonable.
Good second hand book store with a very wide range. Something for everyone.
A sweet, inviting little book store filled with books Id love to buy for myself and my son.It also has piles of sensory stuff, you know all the squishy cute things that adults always told you not to touch in stores when you were little?Well Im an adult now and have money so if I wanted to buy slimey squishy gel with plastic unicorns in, I would go to Rainbow Books.Did I mention they have cake?Well they do, and its great, particularly the baked type of cheesecake called bar one cheesecake available as a mini cake to purchase and take home.Enjoy yourself here!
Lovely.
Decent coffee shop, Wi-Fi is less than desirable at the moment
Best milkshakes ever.
I visited Rainbow Books for the first time this morning and I am allready convinced I will become a regular. They have an incredible selection of books that are priced very reasonably. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff is very helpfull and super friendly. If you love books you will love this place.
Excellent service and wonderfull experience. Best homemade breakfast we had in years.
