    Very nice bookshop cafe, not very rich but good selection of English books in addition to cozy atmosphere to work or read

    Lovely laid-back place to get some work done or browse the smart selection of English language books. Serviceable wifi, decent enough coffee and very tasty bagels indeed (still a rarity in Europe).

    Super cozy, I really enjoyed their tahini blondie. The coffee and bagels are fine. Mostly I love being in an English bookstore :3 wonderful way to spend time, special laptop free tables as well

    The line fills up quickly, even right when it opens. You can also order from their lunch menu during breakfast. Shakespeare and sons is a nice, clean & cozy spot after a night of clubbing.

    Decent place with tasty bagels... Fast Wi-Fi, a few books, good chill and working area... The music is creating the perfect atmosphere... :)

    Great homemade bagels with lox and schmear! Take it with the special avocado creamcheese. The blueberry cheescake is a massive piece of delicacy. Only the interior is a little weak.

    Cute store. Find a seat in the back to have lunch in quiet, while reading your latest book treasure

    A really cool selection of books, not your average book shop. The bagels are so yummy and they put a realistic amount of whatever you ordered on the bagel!

    Amazing selection of books, of course. Good for people watching, really interesting characters. Bagels are pretty nice, but the cafe is way too pricey, at least for my taste.

    The most delicious bagels but the chai latte is not at all like chai latte should be, was a black tea with bunch of cinnamon and spices, but got a mint tea instead

    Good music. Good work vibe in the cafe area. I prefer saint George for books, but this one for cake and hang out.

    pros: nice atmosphere and tasty food. cons: limited Wi-Fi (by time) and a lot of bread crumbs ;)

    Goat cheese bagel is great. All pastries are very high quality and lovely taste. It's a bit pricy

    Bagels are tasty but a bit pricey. They have quite interesting books also in English and French. What I didn't like is how dirty and messy the toilette was and there was no soap to wash your hands.

    lovely & cosy bookshop with friendly staff. Unfortunately the WiFi is terrible, so not a good spot to work! Wouldn't recommend the overpriced ginger-mint tea, but the vegan chocolate cookie was good.

    Книги на английском, есть шкаф с французскими книгами. Ассортимент довольно плоский: попсовые книги по философии, альбомы, современный фикшн. Но кофе попить атмосферы хватает.

    Von außen sehr schön, tolle Bücher zum durchstöbern und die Bagels sind lecker. Leider sitzt man eher ungemütlich und es ist relativ laut und unruhig.

    Ich hab ja den ganzen Wirbel um Bagel nicht verstanden - sind doch nur Brötchen mit Loch. Bis ich bei Shakespeare & sons war! Der Hammer!
