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

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...

Review №31

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.

Review №79

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.
