This place is perfect if you're looking for a quiet spot to study, meet, or just relax. The environment is super calm, beautifully decorated, and almost completely silent, no annoying background noise at all. They have books you can buy, but also a good collection of free books you can read while you're there, which is a big win. Me and my friends went before our exams 'cause we really needed a peaceful study spot. Found this gem on Google Maps, gave it a shot, and honestly, it was so worth it.

I love their upgraded interior, it's now more cozy and trendy. With continuous addition of newer delicacies to their menu every visit is a refreshing experience. Would recommend visiting this joint and explore the options. There's a wonderful collection of books to brows through if you are a book lover.

It's a bookstore and a coffee place. The place looks beautiful but I'd be glad if those books are available to read. Those books are only for sale. Though they've got a great collection of books there. This combination of a bookstore and a cafe looks great. So the ambience was perfect. About their items, I tried their Delicious Dumpling Soup, Iced Peach Tea and Watermelon Juice. The Dumpling Soup was great. I don't like soup but maybe that was the first time I really liked one. They also provided a bun with it which I didn't expect as the price wasn't that high. I'd rate the Dumpling Soup a 9/10. Iced Peach Tea looked great and tasted perfect. The watermelon juice was fresh. So I'd rate both of them 9.2/10. Their services were nice too. So judging by their prices and everything I think it's a budget friendly place with a nice ambience to have some coffee. NB- I didn't buy any of their books neither look at their prices so can't review their bookstores but it looked great.

I haven’t tried the food yet! Went to visit the bookstore and cafe. Got two books. They have small collections for purchase but they can bring you what you want upon preorder! Atmosphere and others was decent! Small cafe with very small amount of books to read!

Had an absolute blissful experience in the possibly only book cafe in Uttara. The serene and peaceful ambience, intriguing collection of fictions and non fictions,along with perfect cup of flavoured tea as well as mouth watering savories. The amicable approach of the stuffs was cherry on the top. Would definitely recommend to those who are looking for a place to indulge in thoughts and spending chaos with solace without being interrupted by chaos like a regular hectic place.

The only place that I love to go . Here I can be alone and seat with myself. A soft ambience, gentle music and books.
