Lovely, interesting curation of books. No fluff or filler of typical paperback bestsellers. I bought a book on early explorers and their odd methods, and a book on the history of Faustian - Magus legends. The two staff were very kind as well.
Incredibly, incredibly curated. I always find something interesting to bring home with me.
The one thing I will say is that none of the staff have been particularly pleasant at all.

Nice, well curated little indie bookstore. If you're looking to find something other than what's been popularized on booktok (nothing against booktok, but it can just get repetitive!) then this is a great place to go. Their fantasy/scifi selection was woefully small, but I was able to find quite a few fun lit fic books that I'd never heard of before.
Highly recommend this book store! Their collection is incredibly curated and not just the typical booktok books you’ll see in other book stores. I’ve picked up a few books from here and they’ve all been very interesting and unique.
Ben is such a kind soul! He had awesome recommendations for psychology books, as well as some educational yet entertaining suggestions for the little ones. Such a quaint little store & would love to return some day.
A local independent bookstore with the best curation of books I’ve ever seen. You’ll find a unique selection of fiction & non-fiction titles, from niche cookbooks to Anthony Bourdain’s world travels to intriguing titles like “The Secret Life of Groceries”. Great location & an essential visit for any book lover or passerby through Corktown!
A great book store in Toronto. It open at 9am. Very good for people like me who has to catch up the flight.
