My partner and I were visiting Paris and we saw this cafe while exploring the downtown area. We…read moredecided to drop by on Sunday afternoon to get some relief from the very hot weather. The vibe of the cafe was cool, it was decorated with various items throughout. Plus, there was an area where you can read and/or buy books. I ordered a matcha latte and my partner picked a muffin. We got a seat by the window at the back, so that we can cool down and look at the beautiful view. The food was yummy and we enjoyed relaxing there. It felt like we were sitting at someone's home, it felt cozy and fun. Drop by here when you visit Paris, you'll love it!

The guys working there seem nice enough, and offered to help when we walking in. The store is on Kenwood and Lakeshore. There is sufficient parking, as well.

You owe yourself the favour and go hang out at The Book Shelf for a while.

I love Guelph. This bookstore has the worst staff I have ever encountered in any local business. I…read moreused to run retail stores and if I heard my staff treat customers like this they would have been fired on the spot. I was horrified to hear the staff berating a woman who had her mask down in the store. The ignorant staffer asked if she had a virology degree and insisted that a cloth mask was mandatory even though the woman had put it back up. Even Fauci at this point has said cloth masks don't stop the spread of this virus. It's disturbing that staff can be belligerent to customers as mandates are about to be dropped literally tomorrow. Never will I shop here again.
