We spent a long lazy and very comfortable afternoon here with friends, reasonable prices, tasty food (including a good veggie selection) and interesting beers.

If you happen to show up at Miijida without a reservation don't despair! This restaurant, tucked away upstairs next to the cinema, serves the same great food al...

If you're bored, you can always go to the bookshelf. [Sighs] What more do you want?

Good concept. Bookstore and theatre as well as the dining area. Food was good. Coffee was average. Service was a little slow. Agree with a previous review. Bit...

Nice little spot for any occasion. They do some really neat things culinarily. Cozy atmosphere and interesting art on the walls. Make sure to try the deep fried...

The Bookshelf in Guelph offers a unique dining experience with a bookstore and theatre. The food is good, though some find it overpriced and lacking variety. The atmosphere has a hipster vibe and the staff are friendly. Enjoy a cozy setting for a meal, coffee, or browsing books and art. The movie theater showcases indie films and the back terrace is lovely in the summer. Overall, a great spot for any occasion, with tasty dishes, cool merchandise, and a welcoming environment that contributes to its longstanding popularity as a local favorite.

I don't visit the bookstore that much but their cinema is great. The theatre is always clean, and they have some interesting and thought provoking, showings.

Took my daughter to watch Asteroid City. First time I'd been there since university in the late 90's. Updated, but not so much as to lose that small venue feel....

It’s a very cute bookstore but they sell all books full price and charge more for books then they do at indigo. They don’t do sales normally so I learned the ha...

I love Guelph. This bookstore has the worst staff I've ever met in any local business. I used to run retail stores and when I heard my employees treat...

There are not many Indy bookstores left, but the bookcase is certainly looking to stay for many more years. It has a monster selection, but you.

What a cool place. You have a nice selection of books and can make great suggestions. The prices are fair, and it makes me happy that I am a local.
