The Curious Cat Tea and Books

I was very surprised at the incredible variety of local interest, French, poetry, loose teas, and LGBTQ+ content that fit in what looks to be from the outside a small store. I was glad to see a large selection of local chocolatier Peace By Chocolate, as well as really cool and cute non-book things like the narwhal mugs and chicken purses.The owner Donovan seemed to know instantly what each varying customer needed from him while I was there, whether it be to jokingly pretend he hadn't seen a daily regular ever before or to reassure a jetlagged complete stranger that it's okay to feel unsure of who you are. I felt very comfortable there shopping for so long for my incredibly varied haul of goods. I highly recommend this shop!

Great selection of books. Beautiful artwork and handmade jewelry. Gorgeous teas. Absolutely wonderful staff. My family and I love this book store so much.

An incredible little shop with so much variety. They are incredibly accommodating and friendly but also willing to go out of their way to order in the books you want. Their selection of non-book items are also of great quality and the shop overall has a an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. A must visit when coming through Antigonish!

Awesome proprietor, very knowledgeable. Great selection and prices on new and preloved books. A good variety of teas are available and whimsical tea sets and mugs.

Great book selection, Great tea,Great vibe, And absolutely wonderful people who run it. I recommend it to everyone

I love this bookstore. It's not huge but it's fantastic. Donovan & partner have done an outstanding job of selecting great titles, new and some used, as well as extras like locally-blended teas and amazing chocolate. It is a peaceful and inclusive space for all to enjoy. If you're stopping in Antigonish, support this bookstore! If you're local, consider ordering through them rather than online if you can;).

A wonderful local store! My wife and I were visiting Antigonish for the first time on our Honeymoon and people we met throughout town kept recommending that we check it out. It was fantastic! The store's interior is well laid out, nicely merchandised and all around charming. On top of books they also have a great selection of teas, stickers, and mementos all based on various fandoms (and all made by Canadian businesses). The co-owner was incredibly welcoming and kind. He was on a first name basis with his customers was joyful in helping them find what they were looking for. He chatted with my wife and I, served us some of their wonderful tea selection, and happily recommended other places in the area for us to check out. If you're in Antigonish or visiting and enjoy anything nerdy (Especially Dungeons and Dragons) I highly recommend that you stop by!

Love this book store. We always visit when we are in Antigonish. Staff are amazing and very helpful.

This is a delightful independent bookstore with a great selection of books and gifts. The owners, Robin and Donovan, are cheerful, interesting and helpful; they'll help you find whatever you want and they'll order books for you happily. It's a great place to browse, have a cup of tea and buy yourself a gift. If you're in Antigonish don't miss it.

Very charming little shop. Nice calm setting with very interesting books. Spent an hour there absorbed.
