With a warm vibe and easy approach, Third Place Bookshop & Café offers the experience of stepping into a communal living room. Coffee, snacks, books, and community come together as a quintessential “third place” – a casual and nurturing space that refreshes and fosters belonging.* We are driven by our values of wonder, simplicity, and connection.

* “Sun streaming through tall windows, steam rising from fat china mugs, the fragrance of roasted beans and fresh yeasty rolls, and the steady background sound of conversations, laughter, and cups clinking. This is where friends meet, where neighbours share news, where business is done, where strangers start talking. This is a third place. It was the sociologist Ray Oldenburg … who coined the term “third place” in his 1989 book The Great Good Place... The third place is not home and not work, but instead one of the physical settings that have throughout history encouraged a sense of warmth, conviviality, and that special kind of human sustenance we call community. These settings include cafés, taverns, libraries and hair salons, where people from different walks of life gather to hang out in an informal atmosphere.” Third Places, true citizen spaces by Ray Oldenburg and Karen Christensen
