Beautiful bookstore with many beautiful books. A must see in Montreal, especially for the book lovers out there. The bar/cafe on site is a very big plus!

Great bilingual bookstore. The essais & nonfiction section is small, but the variety of fantasy books (their specialty) is vast with all kinds of book covers & editions for most titles. The bar has a cool book inspired menu, nice choice of coffees, teas or cocktails. I'd love to visit again just to work or read while sipping a nice drink ☕?📖🍹😌

Super friendly staff! Love the concept of a small coffee shop that is also a library! Coffee & snacks were really nice, the only reason why it's not 5 stars is because they're so busyyyy my friend & I could barely sit when we arrived. Overall, I recommend strongly & will definitely go back to Joie de Livres!

I think it will become one my fav-save places in Montréal. I love the selection of books & the division by topics :D
& the best! The café-bar inside makes it a dreamed place.
I would like that the place can grow up & have more tables 😆😆😆 but is fine!
Thank to the person with the idea to create this place ☺?

This bookshop is honestly the kind of place I'd dreamed of ever since I was young. The decor is so cozy & inviting & had some dark academia flair to it. The book selection feels tailored to my personal reading tastes, with their focus on speculative fiction & romance. Not to mention, a café bar right inside the bookstore? Absolute perfection. Being able to sip a fun cocktail & taking in the atmosphere, mulling over all the interesting titles we'd been browsing, was such a nice date activity. The staff is also very nice & friendly! I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Je pense que Montréal est maintenant une meilleure place simplement parce que cette librairie y existe désormais! Pénétrer chez Joie de livres, c'est comme entrer dans une de ces librairie dont on nous fait rêver dans les romans fantastiques, comme si on se retrouvait transporté dans un des livres fantasy que cette librairie•café•bar vous propose. C'est un de ces endroits qu'on voit sur Pinterest & qui nous font dire'j'aimerais donc ça qu'il y ait une telle boutique près de chez moi!'. Loin ou pas loin de chez vous, que ça soit pour prendre un bon cocktail, un café ou bouquiner, faites-vous une fleur & passer chez Joie de livres, bon moment assuré. ❤?

This is my new favorite place!! It's so gorgeous inside, cozy & welcoming. Amazing selection of books, plus a cafe/bar/snacks. We had cocktails, the charcuterie board, & the burger-inspired nachos & everything was delicious. I couldn't choose a book this time, but I picked up adorable stickers & a great magnet bookmark to replace my old fave that's being held together by tape. I will definitely be back!
