I really do like this place although it's not without downsides. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and there is an excellent small but adequate coffee shop where you can sit and read books. The selection of books is good but a little limited. The location however is not as good as the previous two floor shop and seems to have been chosen for its prime location in Parkway and could do with being larger. Like any bookshop it suffers from Amazon being cheaper but this is not always as much as you would think. The final niggle (but this is common now to all bookshops) is that there is a very poor selection of technical and IT books. I don't think there has been anywhere to go for technical and science books since Borders closed some years ago. These niggles are, alas, just how the industry has had to change to survive against Amazon. Overall, this is an excellent place to buy (or talk) books.
Graham is the best! And all the staff are lovely 😊

Shoemaker's coffee shop serves a range of drinks and gluten-free cakes plus one or two simple lunchtime dishes like soup and a roll. It's a small place partly staffed by volunteers and has a friendly community feel to it. There's a Christian bookshop beyond the cafe area, but there's nothing in-your-face about the place if you've no interest in such things. Oh, it closes at 4 p.m. on weekdays and 5 p.m. on Saturdays.
This is no ordinary book shop..there has always been a welcome here..a place to browse and have a light lunch with tea ,coffee or other drinks. all the food is now gluten free which brings an even greater experience to any who are gluten intolerant.. I myself am not but the quality is so good you may struggle to know that its gluten free .this is a real place of peace..
