Very different to the one in Bourke Street. Staff are very helpful, and always busy. Excellent customer service. Something in there for every type of reader. Can't wait to see the things they have yet to unpack. Reasonable prices.

Wasn't able to have a good browse at the books. They blocked off the majority of the store so they could set up a staff only gift wrapping station.

This is one of the few remaining Book Grocer outlets that survived the Covid19 pandemic while sadly many in the city had been permanently closed. I have tens of books bought from different Book Grocers over the years. My daughter being a voracious reader wanted to buy a few books recently and happy to go and collect them from this outlet as they have stock! Customer service is friendly. Parking can be difficult nearby due to its location in a busy high street.

Always nice books to pick and relatively cheap. The prices increased a little respect to last year but they are still competitive. A must for book lovers!

Great choice, great price and great staff. My daughter ordered a mixed box of books during the lockdown and was very happy with the selection sent!

Was met on entry by a gruff mid aged male worker. He didn't bother asking if I needed assistance, was rude when I asked for help and once I made my selection he refused to accept cash. So I walked out without buying the books and went to the other local childrens/bookstore a few doors down and bought some beautiful, quality books from a small local business.

Always have a great experience in this store and find a good book to take home. Shout out to Georgia - great staff member

Plenty of books for insanely cheap prices

Although, 90% of the shelves were filled with unfamiliar titles, which is what likely constitutes the price drop - my theory is that these are books that didn't sell and were sold to places like this for liquidation prices.

There are still some good finds though, like a very high quality coffee table book about Fellini that was down from $90 to $20.

If you're after some good deals on some random books, this is the place for you.

Heaps of books on clearance. Great bargain price. Friendly staff. Store has couches to sit and relax while you browse. 1Hr free street parking right at the door.

Always find something of interest. And with nothing over $7 - you really can't go wrong. I like the big couches to browse a book in comfort.

Decent variety of books. Good pricing though as it's closing down. 7 dollars per book, 20 dollars for 3 books.

False advertising, have been ‘Closing Down’ for over a year! They ain’t closing down as long people keep getting fooled by this lowly advertising.

I love this salon.
The ladies here have totally transformed my skin.
They are experts in their field.
Thank you ladies

One of the best Book Grocer shops with the best range of books. Many titles here aren't available in their other stores. They also sell coffee. The only thing that let this store down was the preoccuped staff member who after spending 20 minutes in the shop didn't even make eye contact. Still, ten bucks a book, I can get over it.

Reasonably priced books. I found it to be an Odd selection but that could be because they are moving soon.
