This place appeared like an answer to ancient plea: wanting to hang out somewhere after 5pm without the obligation of eating a whole meal or drinking alcohol like in a restaurant or bar. BUT! You do have the option to do so if you did want to! Joie de Livres is like the holy grail, a mix of coffee shop, restaurant, bar & bookstore all at once.
As you might be able to tell from the photos, I go there pretty often! Even when there's a lot of people, it never takes too long for a table to free up, but when there's none, there's usually at least a spot at the bar. I kinda wish the place was even bigger, but I do love the cozy atmosphere.
The drinks & food are not on the cheap side, although you can find some less pricy options, but the tip is included & everything is good. I highly recommend the'paradox' sandwich & any seasonal drink.

Atmosphere is amazing. Cute & cozy book nook vibe while having a cafe inside. We were visiting from Calgary & this place really catches the vibe all book shops should have. The staff are really nice & helped me pick my next read. Would definitely recommend

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.

A very warm & cozy place with a beautiful decoration. The concept of sitting among books while enjoying a coffee makes the atmosphere feel calm & relaxing. It's a great spot if you like quiet environments & literary vibes.

I didn't get the chance to try the coffee during my visit, so I can't comment on the drinks, but the atmosphere & the decoration alone make this place feel special & welcoming.

Such an amazing place! The atmosphere is absolutely wonderful - cozy, inspiring, & perfect for slowing down. The coffee & pie were delicious, & the interior design is truly unique & thoughtfully done.

A perfect spot to relax with a book & enjoy a peaceful moment. Highly recommend!
