Really cute book store. Lovingly curated with an interesting range. It’s a little chaotic inside which ads to the charm - you’ll find a few quirky objects and some cool displays. If you head down the corridor at the back you’ll find several more rooms and a gorgeous little secret garden where you can enjoy a cup or tea or coffee - it’s very much worth a visit. This is obviously a labour of love and could use more steady custom to elevate its offering - but I’ll bet they do some cool events and I’m looking forward to checking them out. Get in there and support the local community!

A super cute bookstore! The moment you step in, it feels like Alice falling into the rabbit hole. Each room is beautifully decorated, and the staff are really friendly. Definitely a must-visit spot on Ponsonby Road!

Alma (☆ 5/5)
Fantastic book store! The books are in such great condition that they look new.
Several rooms, well organized, with signage to orient you through the store. In some days there is a coffee machine in the back that serves coffee and tea.
My favorite part of the store is the " staff picks " shelf. There is also a little garden with some seating in the back.
Staff are friendly. The only downside to this place is the parking, which can be a bit tough. I parked on a side residential street and walked a little bit.
Highly recommended. One of the best used book stores I’ve ever been to.

This is a gorgeously cozy place. I love the homely yet library like feeling here. Spots to read, have some tea, and have a browse at an impressive collection of second-hand books. I love the mystery book option, it's really creative and intriguing. The small business book marks are so cool too! I hope to visit often
Destiny Edwards (☆ 5/5)
Really friendly women working here when I popped in and I enjoyed a quick chat. Great selection of books and really well organised. Love the community events they're running and wish I was local and could join in! The price of second hand books in NZ surprised me - they keep their value here!
