" What an amazing book store, jam packed full of exciting reads. If I could carry more I would’ve bought more. I picked up the stores own book and used the funky vending machine outside. Definitely worth checking out "

" This place is great! They have a good variety of books, but not necessarily your main- stream best sellers. They also have some quirky items for sale. It is very small and gets crowded quickly. It also is a little overpriced. They carry a nice selection of poetry and local writers as well. It is in a great, funky part of town that is full of little shops, wine bars, restaurants and coffee shops. It is a good area to while away an afternoon. "

" Independent bookstore with its own imprint publisher. There's a book vending machine in front of the store, so you can get a book for 20 SGD. The books are wrapped in white paper and only given a brief description. Overall the ambience is very nice, and if you're overwhelmed with all the Singaporean literature collection, the storekeeper will gladly help you. There's a resident cat who lives here so be careful when you open the door. "

" Small independent book store that specialises in local books

Best bookstore I've been to and frankly my favourite spot in SG. Their collection of local lit is extensive and service staff are all very professional. Can always find hidden gems all through out the shops and its in a nice nostalgic area "

" Cannot stress it enough how wonderful, beautiful, all sorts of magical this place is. If you're into local publications and want to dive into Singapore's best, this place fits just right. They have an extensive collection of international & local publications (highly recommend their poetry section), nostalgic knick knacks, and a cute cat waiting for you. If you're lucky, they sometimes held a sale with very good deal; even better than major bookstores.
Definitely check this place out when you're in Singapore, but make sure to check their social media especially Instagram for their opening hours. "

" Wonderfully photogenic bookshop. Champions a lot of local authors. Two beautiful cute cats roam the store, one old little guy. Has some hard to find and customised books. A lot of feminist literature. One of the coolest bookshops you could find! "

" This shop is fabulous. The books are eclectic and strongly support local talent. Huge range, knowledgable staff, majestic cats and lots of interesting finds. They've also given generous 20% off vouchers with many of my recent purchases. It's one of a kind. "

" Small but really nice book store. I really like how they organize their books, making you feel like you are walking through a small alley of book. They have a small room inside where you can find interesting souvenirs. And there's an ATM outside where you can let god decide which book you should read. "

" One of the best book store experience. Indie bookstore and publisher, with wide selection of good fictions. The cat is a major attraction, usually lying near to the toilet at the back alley that features a handsome collection of second hand gifts, collectibles and books. "
