I can't believe it took me so long to come across this lovely English book shop. I could spend an…read moregood hour in here if it was left to me. There were so many wonderful books to read. I had to refrain myself from buying a few because I did not have the extra space for them unfortunately in my luggage. Customer service is very friendly and professional. It's definitely worth a visit, if you would like to purchase something good to read in English or step up your book collection.

What an awesome little place!! It's a little chaotic because the tables are a little cramped and…read moreall of the books can only be viewed by standing in the aisle which is also where people are walking past. But they have a pretty good selection! I went specifically for English books which I think is all they have. There was a German section though if that's what you're looking for. I didn't order any food or coffee so I can't speak on it but we went later in the evening and they still had a few cakes and stuff to choose from. They don't allow laptops on Saturday's (to save space and stop people from staying too long I assume) which is fine in my opinion. I'd definitely go back with a book or a notebook and sip on a coffee for a few hours.

Bookstores are the new hangouts. If they just had books, many people would not visit them. Now, if…read moreyou add a cafe to the bookstore, it becomes a communal hangout to eat with books. Berlin has many bookstores, but only one, Shakespeare and Sons, is located on a busy wide Strasse in the former East Berlin. You can see tables on the sidewalk with many uber-cool young people talking away, eating fresh New York bagels and coffee. The interior is dark, brooding, and narrow but comforting. We ordered breakfast bagels with coffee and sat outside with many narratives walking back and forth. The bagels are very well crafted and the shmeers and fresh tomatoes and onions are tasty. The coffees were well made. It was fun to travel there. If you are still hungry, there is a bespoke donut place next door. Highly recommend this place.

beautiful bookstore I am so sorry I am too lame to buy anything--I already mailed away all my heavy…read morestuff so I didn't have to carry it back to the states! They have a good selection of Science Fiction and Fantasy in German, which I cannot comment on being utterly and repulsively monolingual, but they also have a gosh darn pretty big selection of English! Obviously, most of these are British editions, so you might want to stock up the brit version of your favorite reads as well as picking up something new for yourself! I was surprised to not see a few authors, such as Charles De Lint, but there was still plenty of things to tempt a gal! Also big plus, a couple cushioned benches to chill as you try to decide....

Love this place! One of my favorite authors had a new book releasing while we would be in Berlin,…read moreand I wanted to get a European edition just to have something different in my collection (plus it was releasing in Europe several weeks before it was coming out in the USA). I emailed him and asked if he had any recommendations for book sellers in Berlin who might get it in, knowing that he'd done events in Berlin, he recommended Otherland and one other. The other was more convenient to our hotel, but they never answered their phone. Otherland was extremely helpful and courteous, and best of all - they got the book in before we left town. This is what a used book store should be: mostly hardbound books everywhere! Comfy chairs where you can sit and read. Decent prices. Sadly this is an endangered breed in the USA. I shall definitely pay them a visit if I get back to Berlin. Lovely neighborhood, lots of great shops. Bit of a walk to the U-Bahn though.
