    A nice variety of new English Language books on sale. Fiction and Nonfiction. Also Children's and young adult books. There were no seats available so we unfortunately didn't manage to try the beverages and cakes. If in Bordeaux definitely pop in for a browse !

    I love this super cozy bookshop. There's a great selection of teas and English-language books served up by the friendliest staff around! Also really great community events like a writing group on Tuesdays.

    Extremely friendly staff! They can order any book, and they seem knowledgeable and helpful. The only drawback is the very small space. Not easy to browse without fear of bumping into bookshelves etc. That said, I simply browse and/or order quickly without lingering. Very happy to support independent bookstores such as Bradley's.

    It's a great bookshop to find both fiction and non fiction books in English as well as books to help learn English. They had a staff that was very helpful.

    This place is just great, the booksellers are really nice and friendly. The atmosphere is very warm and cozy in the winter, and refreshing in the summer. The food is amazing and the books available are top tier (I shop in the Young adult and Fantasy sections and I can't ever find the ones that I like in regular bookshops, so this is just heaven honestly) I've been going there for a little less than a year and I can't recommend it enough!

    It was a very nice and cozy small shop. You can find various books from fictional to non-fictional. It's also a small café that you can sit down and read.

    This is my happy place in Bordeaux. Like my own little safe haven when I feel homesick. So comfy and friendly and yummy.

    Wow, great selection of a variety of books in English. I didn't have coffee or tea during my visit, but bought two books and will be back, I am sure.

  • 5/5 ANDY J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to browse and buy a wide variety of English books. Novels, Factual, Childrens, Reference etc etc many available or for order ( with around a week for delivery :-) ). Teas and coffee available along with scrummy desserts. Aircon too for when it's a heatwave. And some table and chairs outside with an awning if needed. Tami is completely bilingual so can help with all the enquiries and many native English speakers frequent the bookshop so a good place to hear English and even practise your own skills. There are both a writers group and a book club that meet here too.

    Such a great place to have a conversation in English, find an English book or order it if you don't fi d it, a'd have a cup of tea and cheesecake! I discovered this place few weeks ago as we have just arrived and literally fell in love with it! The manager from NYC is really cool :)

    One of our favorite places to visit downtown! We've been coming here for years. My son loves the children's corner. Any book they don't have in stock can be ordered, the teas and baked goods are delicious and the staff are really, really friendly.
