Ekor Bookshop & Cafe (17b College Street)

What a discovery. Tucked away a few metres along from Cafe L’affare (on the same street as Moore Wilsons) the Ekor Bookshop & Cafe is an absolute gem, just waiting to be found. It caught our eye as we were walking out to Newtown recently, and at our first opportunity we found ourselves on its doorstep, keen for coffee and an explore.

The place is so cute. The menu is incredibly simple (bagels, scones and cakes essentially) but nothing is overpriced and everything is done perfectly. They don’t make their own food there, rather it is all supplied by local cafes and caterers (for example Leeds Street Bakery, French Cancan and of course, People’s Coffee). We sampled the French Cancan gluten-free chocolate cake, and it just set out day alight from 8am. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and I haven’t even started on the bookshop.

It is absolutely a bookshop where you could just browse the afternoon away; there are so many gifts and quirky books that there is certainly something for everyone. It’s a new found delight, and I can’t wait to go back!
