There is not a lot of Indy bookstores left, but The Book Shelf is surely looking to stay around for…read moremany more years. It has a monster selection, but you really get a feel that everything is curated down from the travel selection down to the magazines. Even the kids section is fantastic and my son really loved our visit. They do a variety of special events and the staff are just super nice. 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.

Nice atmosphere, and a fun way to browse through for an afternoon. Staff seemed very helpful and…read moreknowledgeable. The entire store smells like a nice, old book. There's a $1 book pile on the front porch, but apart from that, the prices are either comparable or slightly more expensive than other used book stores I've seen (about $8-20).

I was house-hunting for a while, got cramped and wanted to stop somewhere. Came across this place…read moreand immediately knew it was going to be awesome. Old and rare bookstores I often find have great selection, and it did! The books were in great condition and for only around $5 each. The staff there were amazing to chat to. From manga to children's books, horror, romance, history and old, leather-bound books. I loved it here. Can't wait to come back :)

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 last time I was in this area, Indigo was still being developed. Three months later, it's nice…read moreto see that construction is done and Indigo is open. I was excited to visit the store before seeing an afternoon movie. When you first open the blue doors, the decor is pleasing to the eye. It's cozy. I walked immediately to the new books display and started reading Leonard Cohen's collection of poems. I love the electronics section, which has everything from Fitbit trackers to record players. Naturally, there are plenty of Kobo readers. I held my composure and did not buy another to add to my mini collection of two. The cookbooks section is divine. One of my favourite restaurants that I frequented a ton in Winnipeg, earls, has its own cookbook. I want it so badly! I love this Indigo. It's now my favourite one. There are plenty of areas where you can sit down and read. I love the knitted mittens and scarves that you can buy. The paper shop section screams my name, as I have a thing for picking out the most thoughtful card that I can to friends and family members. It's such an inviting place to spend some time. Starbucks has been open for a while here. I like that the designers knocked a wall down, so you can freely walk between Indigo and Starbucks. I will need to come back and get the panda personal humidifier, simply because it's so stinking cute! (356)
