Overall Joie de Livres stands out for its magical ambiance, beautiful decor, and the unique concept of a cafe library that makes it a favorite spot for book lovers and for events or book clubs.
It is a magical place! So beautiful & books absolutely everywhere! The staff are super kind & helpful. There is also beautiful jewelry made by local artist so that is also really nice. That place is amazing!!!
I loved my visit here! Found a special edition of my favourite book while enjoying a glass of wine, will definitely be back for more books & goodies! Amazing environment to be in as a book lover.
The staff are really nice, & they give helpful book recommendations. Also, definitely try the Guilty Pleasures cocktail--it has an amazing chamomile flavor in it that I have never had in a cocktail before. 😍
The place is cozy & strongly reminds me of Shakespeare & Company in Paris. Unfortunately, the selection is poor & the shelves are badly organized. English & French books are mixed together, often without any way of knowing which is which. There also seems to be an overwhelming focus on romantasy/romance. It is such a shame, because I liked the place.
