Groovy bookshop with heaps of interesting books - but a bit pricey. Charlie, the bookshop cat is adorable and has his own postcards and bookmarks for sale. Nice looking courtyard cafe too.

Great second hand book selection, as well as a great cafe/courtyard. Nice environment to hang out in. And the home of Charlie the cat!

You would see it at first glance from the outside, but this bookstore is actually a cafe with seating both outside in the courtyard (covered), and also upstairs in the bookstore itself. Great menu, great vibe and great staff. Awesome place for a longer session to sit back and have a drink or bite while enjoying a book.

A pearl of a cafe. You can have coffee and breakfast here. It doesn't look it from the front, but has a cafe in the garden area at the back. Lovely

What a lovely experience at Sappho Books, Cafe & Bar. It’s one of those rare places that feels warm and inviting the moment you walk in. The combination of a charming bookshop, relaxed café, and cozy bar makes it perfect for just about any mood whether you’re after a quiet solo escape or a catch up with friends. The atmosphere feels authentic and full of personality. You could easily spend hours here browsing books, enjoying a drink, and soaking it all in. Definitely a hidden gem. Special shout out to Gail and Charlie (the resident kitty) for being so welcoming 🤎😘
