    This cozy little bookstore has a surprisingly large selection of books, ranging from classical literature to more modern works in both fiction and non-fiction. The staff are courteous and knowledgeable in their fields. Old-time looking though it is, it manages to stay relevant.

    The building and the interior is gorgeous. But it seems like a touristy place noted in all the books you should do. Cake was nice, coffee was black and bitter roast. Still nice atmosphere. But avoid times when there are a lot of foreigners .

    A small book Shop, visited by everyone. But not because of books, but the missing alternatives around.

    Lovely book and gift shop. They helped me with posting letters to my grandfather. The store has a cafe! Worth a try!

    A very nice shop in the center of Tórshaven with a good selection of books, newspapers, souvenirs and school supplies. Books in English also available. Cosy atmosphere.

    A great book shop where you can find multiple things, not only books. Great service and also you can seat in the cafe beside the shop to enjoy a coffee or tea. Good place if you want to buy some souvenirs

    A brilliant bookshop in the centre of town. Lovely open layout, great selection including the great local mapping. Best of all such friendly, knowledgeable and chatty staff. Oh and the cafe’s great.

  • 4/5 Jónas Mittún P. 4 years ago on Google
    The ideal place for Faroese litterature. The store is also well stocked in most other categories. I would wish they had a more diverse range of books in English and more stock of top board games such as catan, risk variants or other games for 16+ audiences.

    I was such a nice surprise to find a bookstore with stationery articles at the Faroe Island. I’m a bookseller myself, so I was a magical place to visit. Wonderful, you do a great job! The assortment is perfectly balanced between touristy and daily products. Everyone was perfectly friendly.

    We loved this shop, we went back two times. They have everything from books to stationary to souvenirs and have such a wide variety of everything. Definitely our favorite store in Torshavn!
