Such a great local spot. Seeing a movie is charming and love not giving Cineplex more money. Great book selection. Get a membership it's worth it!

Love this place. I don't get the warm and fuzzies from the staff to be honest but I'd rather spend my money with a local place over a big box store. I can always find a book and if they don't have it they can order it. This time I was after books for my daughter (11) and found a few great options.

I'm all for supporting local!The Bookshelf is lovely. It's a place you can not only purchase a book, but also greeting cards, games, clothing and stationary.The Bookshelf supports local artists: check out the cards!Parking downtown Guelph isn't always the most convenient, and there is no parking lot during the day that you can use (street parking only).There's a cinema on the second floor, it's pretty neat.It would be nice that their information stations were working properly, as when it gets busy in the store it's not always easy to get help from staff.The prices are more expensive than say Amazon and even Indigo...I've actually purchased a cookbook from Shopper's Drug Mart that was about 25% cheaper than The Bookshelf...so do your research if you're on a budget.

I visited in-person for the first time since COVID and it's still the same warm and cozy bookstore you'd expect in a romanticized movie.Coming in from the rain on a slow Froday afternoon, I'm greeted by friendly staff and their selection of new and recommended books. The in store selection is smaller than chapters, but every book seems worth your time and interesting, as if it were curated just for you. They're also able to order basically any book you'd like, so don't be shy about asking for a book you want but can't find.The store is clean, the shelves are tidy and the atmosphere is calming.As I checked out with Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun" in hand

It's one of the best small bookstores you will find anywhere.

Really enjoyed the movie. Seats very comfortable. Popcorn good, buttery, salty and hot.

Very nice bookstore with also a gift section. It's the first store i saw when we arrived downtown and couldn't stop myself from going in

They have maintained the classic, small-movie theater experience wonderfully since I started visiting there 15 years ago. The recent renovations have done nothing to diminish its character. Great snack options and great movies! Thank you, Bookshelf!

Cool bookstore with lots of selection of books and a great place to get new movie posters! Definitely one of the places to visit in Guelph!
