Why it matters: this English-language bookstore and coffeeshop is owned and run by a mother-and-daughter duo of avid readers, and it has quickly become the community living room of the Garibaldi quarter. The shelves are an inclusive, well-curated sweep of genres, the pastries are baked in-house, and a no-laptop policy keeps the room for books and conversation. Grab a coffee, ask either owner for a recommendation, and check the kids’ corner if you’re traveling with little readers. Closed Sunday and Monday; Saturdays wrap up at 4pm.
