Berkelouw Books
‘Books and wine, my favourite combination. The vibe in this little Sydney cafe called Berkelouw Books between all those books is inspiring.’
Located in the midddle of Oxford Street in Sydney, the Berkelouw Paddington store opened in 1994 and has since become something of an institution amongst Sydney’s literary community.
Paddington’s three story house offers an extensive range of new, rare and secondhand books. In keeping with Oxford Street’s famous round-the-clock lifestyle, the store is open until very late most nights of the week, attracting an interesting and eclectic variety of customers. Upstairs is the popular and vibrant cafe/wine bar, which is a great place to enjoy the ambience whilst enjoying some delicious food, wine, coffee and cake. And books, of course.
