Enjoy browsing through a wide assortment of books, sit down to read over a cup of coffee and pastries, or a drink in this very lovely bookstore like no other. A magical place to find that special book. The staff is very helpful, pleasant and friendly Opened 9 am through 9 pm

This cute little Coffee shop is also a library where you can find a great selection of books especially about Cartagena that you can bring back as souvenirs!

A little cafe and bookstore within the bustling, narrow streets of Cartagena’s Old Town. Step inside grab a cup of steaming Colombian coffee while browsing the walls of floor-to-ceiling books just waiting to be plucked from the shelves. Great place for a rainy day or to get away from the "tourist traps".
