The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and you will truly be amazed on what you find. I have shopped here twice now and both times I have walked away with hard to find books in excellent if not new condition and will treasure them now that they are found. I never see the same books in the same spot. Always something new appearing everywhere. I just love this place when I am feeling down. The customers are incredible as well. Met a new one today and walked out feeling like the world was so much brighter. Thank you The Brantford Bookworm.

They pick books, that you are not likely going to find on the shelf of Indigo and Chapters. In fact, you could spend the whole day in this place and not be bored. Gone is the cafe next door, which is under renovation right now. Hopefully will open soon. As a bonus, they have a movie theatre upstairs, and you can pick up a schedule or go to their website for more info. Great kids section too btw!

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.

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).

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.

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!

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)
