Bookophilia

A very pleasant experience with thr opportunity to sit, drink and immerse yourself in the an age old custom of reading in a landscape powered not by electronics, but just simply pen to paper. Totally refreshing and should be something done even if once a month.

This spot is so amazing. For entrepreneurs, free lancers, looking for a great space to clear your mind.

Cozy bookstore for people who love reading. Store has a cafe and a great kids section. I love that they have a lot of Jamaican authors and current books. Great place.

It like a little area of peace and quiet in the middle of Kingston, it's great for relaxing but there's always something going on or about to go on so you never get bored. There's comfy chairs, good coffee and mostly yummy treats. There's a little experiment going on with the baking so you'll always be in your toes. Mostly they're successful. Go there enough it starts to feel like hanging out with friends.

The shelves weren't stocked like in previous years but I haven't been in a while since even before COVID-19 but they had some 2023 releases and books that were on my radar like The Covenant of Water. I grabbed my five books including Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid. I'll definitely visit again in 2024.

Great ambience, I lowkey wish they don't get super popular because the vibe as is, is amazing. I liked the offerings of books, the music, the temperature and the tea. The only thing I would suggest as a patron who plans to visit regular is a bigger location with more hide-aways. Spots where you can discover and be like "oh...was this always here? It's almost perfect for me to read or do work...almost as if it was made for me. Nice."

This is a prime go to space in the heart of Kingston the staff always have such charisma and are very attentive. Not only is reading allowed, they have a little coffee spot which partners with a foundation for the deaf! They have scheduled programs like reading for children, meeting authors and on occasion adult colouring to name a few. The only thing left for them is to have actual food...but here's to hoping lol.

Bookophilia is a cool hangout spot for book lovers with multiple couches, cushions and nooks for you to curl up with your new book. You can organize meetups there to discuss the latest book club title. After your passionate discussions calm your tempers with coffee, tea or a muffin. They cater to the young and the young at heart. They're bound to have a book that interests you. The staff is friendly and polite and eager to assist.
