The Book Lounge in Cape Town, specialty coffee cafe

more photos

the book lounge is a cape town bookshop with a cafe counter tucked inside, which means browsing and coffee happen in the same unhurried space. it's a working indie shop, not a chain with shelves for atmosphere, so the stock is actually curated and the events calendar runs to author readings and literary nights. good for a long afternoon on de waterkant.
