Timbuktu Books

Very well priced. However, 5 of the main items on the menu wasn't available, service wasn't friendly and the order came in parts of the meal. The atmosphere is really lovely but the service just put us off.

A quaint little cafe, with a gentle vibe. Food and coffee is great. A lovely environment for socialising. However, the service can improve.

Do try their sliders: mouth watering good!

Quaint coffee shop. Meals on the menu are quite basic. Attended the comedy show that occurs on a Friday night. Invite says 7pm dinner. Waitresses were disinterested in provided services other than collecting entry fee for comedy show. Waitress Shayma,we asked your name so that we could politely ask you for a menu but you gave your name and turned around. Service is too slow. Ordered a Cajun chicken wrap - kindly re evaluate what Cajun should taste like. Disappointed with the food. Also practically every table was reserved ( poster should have indicated this), the only place available for us to sit was at a pillar. Halfway through our meal, we were asked to give up our chairs for the stage. Probably won't be going here again.

I've no interest in the Islamic books at the store (although practitioners of the faith will probably delight in the range and quality there, including nicely illustrated kids' books), however the coffee shop was FANTASTIC! Superb quality coffee/flat white/cortado/etc and baked cheesecake (although portions are a little modest). The atmosphere was genuinely relaxed and tasteful without being ostentatious. What made it even more impressive was that this shop's location is in a suburb quite isolated from the ubiquitous coffee culture of the main city and other trendy/hipster locales... a hidden gem!

Visited today and held a workshop there with 6 ladies. Thanks to Mr. Suleman for accomodating us and it was very pleasant sitting comfortably amongst the bookshelves with the window on our left and an open door for adequate ventilation. At one point people at adjacent table were a bit noisy but not for long. We could conduct our workshop amongst the usual bustle of the coffee shop. We will return.

Islamic book shop and halaal coffee shop. Quaint little shop, sit amongst the bookshelves, lovely atmosphere, halaal all day breakfast/ brunch menu of giant muffins, tasty scones, all freshly made, sandwiches with sour dough bread or other, enough to choose from. Very friendly staff and owner, well done. Popped in yesterday for a book and happy it all srill loomed good and inviting. Will be back soon in sha Allah. Happy they survived over covid period. They have all Islamic must-haves for your reading pleasure and spiritual upliftment, books for young to old, beginners to advanced,. First time buying Islamic books, Want to learn about Islam, they have a book for you, English Quran also available, not everything is in Arabic, for those seeking English.

Timbuktu bookstore and coffee shop has a wonderful atmosphere. People playing quiet board games. The owner of the book shop, Omar(very warm, friendly person)is incredibly willing to assist with whichever Sufi books you are seeking and is willing to order books from overseas if they don't have them in stock.
I would highly recommend their coffee.
