And on a beautiful block of Coyoacan! It was so well organized and stocked!

It's a charmy, quirky little bookshop - messy shelves stuffed with books and a few arm chairs on the second floor of a pretty building. I stopped by with a friend last Saturday and quickly found two books to take on the plane home with me the following day. Great prices, plenty to choose from, and very quirky - it's a great place for English speakers/readers to stop by if in Mexico City.

A cool library/cafe located in Bosque de Chapultepec. Service is a bit slow; I had to flag the…read morewaiter down to order a coffee. The coffee was okay. We didn't get a chance to stay long because we had a jam-packed itinerary for the day. Nonetheless, there was a large book selection.

I had heard that the Librería Porrúa in Bosque de Chapultepec was gorgeous, and it is. The…read morebookstore faces the Lago de Chapultepec (located in Section 1), so it has incredible views. Not every bookstore can offer lake views while you sit and enjoy a coffee. That's definitely the highlight of this Librería Porrúa. However, the bookstore didn't seem that well taken care of or well stocked. The books seemed older, and I was surprised that they had so few books in English since other bookstores in Mexico City typically have a pretty good selection. The bookstore seemed more of a cafe with a small bookstore, rather than the other way around. But there's lots of seating and those views are incredible. I do think there are better bookstores in Mexico City, however! Stop by if you're in the area, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way!
