Books & Coffee

Nice place with huge range of coffees and drinks. Amazing brunch, despite the price.

I would say, it is a unique experience to try at least once while you are in Bordeaux for a visit.

Lovely coffee place for a quick coffee and dessert.
The staff members are very friendly and helpful.
The espresso was probably the best of the espresso coffees we had in Bordeaux so far.
The flan was also really nice with the vanilla and tonka beans.

The best brunch I have ever had. This blew my mind.

We got the pancakes, salty and sweet, it blew my mind.

The ambiance of the place was right out of a book.

I liked so much the vibe of this cafe, it’s big and the location it’s just great. I could spend a couple of hours working on my laptop and it was very comfortable

I thought this place looked like a tourist trap, and so I was a little reluctant to sit down at a table, but we needed a little break and to use the restroom, so we decided to stop.

The service was amazing, with our waitress making hokes and having fun... the Kouign-amann was so delicious, and the mocha is probably the best one I've ever had (that my wife didn't make for me. She thought it was even better than the ones she's made for me). I hope we have enough time to go back here before we leave Bordeaux, because it's absolutely worth multiple visits.

Fantastic! Go for Sunday brunch and take a hot drink, mimosa, savoury dish and sweet treat for €23. Great value. Perfect service - fast, friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere and plenty of space so worth the wait if there is a queue because it won’t be long. The patisseries are excellent - chocolate cream filled eclairs and crunchy Paris Brest. Hot chocolates are pretty special too.
So good we returned twice!

Quite a wait for to go drinks, but the place is very cute and tastefully designed, so we didn't mind it.
The browny was delicious but too crumbly. Matcha Latte and Cappucino were the best in Bordeaux.
Definitely come here for brunch, very delightful, but be ready to wait for seating.
Be mindful that you pay over 1 euro more (+20-25%) for any pastry if you order it for inside, so take out is much more economical.

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. This is the perfect start!

We came back for lunch and enjoyend another perfect moment in this café.

A year later: yep, we are back for another meal at this cozy spot.

Great place to eat. Everything that we had was delicious. The croissants was buttery and light. The Rossini was very tasty. The rosti bacon was very rich. And the pancakes were light and delicious. The yogurt with granola was was also divine.

Great place for breakfast/ lunch.
I stopped by for a lunch on a weekday and I waited about five minutes to find a table.
Salad lunch combo (formule) was excellent. Salad was seasoned with base of balsamic vinegar and basil pesto on top. In this very meat-heavy country, I was glad to find something I could eat (and enjoy).

They were so busy each step of service took a little longer than I’d have liked. But at least they were all very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful little brunch spot. The food, decor and environment there was very pleasant.

It has a good balance of sweet and savoury dishes as well as having a sweet/savoury combo (which I typically prefer).

Unfortunately had to leave early but would have loved to stay longer to take in the atmosphere of the place.

Will definitely return again!!

incredible cafe. love the decor, the coffee and the pastries!

Great food. Lovely coffee and always busy. Couldn’t get a table the few times we went there lol

What a fabulous find! Terrific breakfast yoghurt dish and super coffee. Lunch fixed menu salad or sandwich, drink and dessert was also excellent, very fresh and very good value. Staff were all lovely - welcoming and friendly. If we come to Bordeaux again we will definitely come to Books and Coffee. The pic is of our breakfast and almost empty restaurant as it was early and hadn't been open long.

Lovely atmosphere with super positive employees. Went there 2 times in 3 days short trip also because of their delicious food.

They have good coffee and desserts for sure, yet the attitude is a bit heartbreaking. They expect you to just eat and leave. I would like to sit on the corner, eat something and drink my coffee while working on my computer, but they don't like this. And they don't have WiFi as well. I believe it should be different if a customer is constantly ordering anyways and does not occupy the table unnecessarily.

Wonderful breakfast options, fresh bread and lovely coffee.

We loved this place! Everyone was so kind and helpful, especially considering we know little French. We got the carrot cake and the banana bread and shared. We tried the oolong se Chung and the latte. Super tasty food and relaxing environment. Great place to sit down and read, as the name states. We will be back!

Do it, if you get the chance. Coffee good; salmon breakfast great. Outdoor seating is a great, great view of the clock tower.

Enjoyed it so much we went back again for breakfast 2 days later!

Really tasty brunch and pastries, great selection of hot and cold drinks. Friendly and efficient service.
