I just moved to Madrid and found this gem of a bookshop at the city center! It has a huge variety of books in multiple languages like English, French, Spanish, Italian.. etc I felt relief because most of the other bookshops had books only in Spanish except for "Desperate Literature" ofc. So from now I'll be going to this beautiful place. Ps: the staff are friendly and helpful, they also can speak English which is a bonus.

Great place! Highly recommendable if you like, books, architecture, quiet place, interior design and food and wine. It's a combination of bookstore, several stories high, and bar and restaurant. Service is very good and friendly. They got a lunch menu which is price worthy. If you have been walking around the historic centre of Madrid for a couple of hours and just wants to sit down, journal, up load your photos on Instagram and maybe have a beer, coffee or glas of wine, well, this is the place you have been looking for. All kinds of books and also stationary, if you run out of ink and paper. Enjoy!

Excellent bookstore. Very good and large selection of books. The children section is fantastic. They also have a section of books in "original version" in French and in English. The coffee shop is very good. It is worth exploring the different floors for the sake of the beauty of the building.

Very nice book store in the middle of the center. There are three floors in a different types of the book. Also the small cafe on the first floor that you can sit, enjoy the vibe and chill. Very pretty location but the coffee and pastry tastes are normal...

FOR THOSE LOOKING: THE CAFE IS NO LONGER THERE!!! The book store is adorable, well stocked, has both books that cater to trends and classics. I got both English and some simpler Spanish books, and the clerk is very kind. Google still thinks that the Cafe/Bistro exists. It does NOT. We asked just to check, but they have closed that section of the business. So don’t be disappointed by that — simply enjoy the books

Best place to find all sorts of books. I got lost for hours in their different rooms and multiple floors. I probably spent most of my spending budget in this place during my vacation time in Madrid. No regrets thought!

Gorgeous bookshop with a pretty little cafe (which unfortunately doesn't have WiFi, otherwise I would have stayed). Good staff picks of Spanish and LatAm fiction titles. Tempting. Managed to walk away with just two books which is good for a compulsive book buyer like me.

I really liked this bookshop. It is surprisingly well furnished with English books, with a selection of unusual picks.
