Bàrd Books bills itself as “more than just a bookshop” and it’s not wrong. The Roman Road spot is part brilliantly curated bookstore (all killer, no filler), part cafe and bar, and part local hangout for coffees, pastries, working sessions, author talks and live music. Plus, the shelves are stacked with titles the booksellers have actually read or are genuinely excited about, so you’ll leave with a proper recommendation for your TBR. And with a packed events calendar, you’ve always got a reason to swing back.
