A wonderful place for book lovers and for meeting up with friends. One of my favourite place in Aizawl. The place has been extended with a private room where one can rent as an individual or as a group for various purposes and projector is also installed which can be used for watching movies etc. During my recent visit, we sat at the balcony of the extended room with lots of privacy for conversations. Keep up the good work.

This quaint cafe was easily the best-find during our 4-day stay in Aizawl! The place is very tastefully crafted with interesting art, warm-lighting and well-curated books. We bought 4 books on North East India which was a really good find. They have a lot of activities happening here with book reading sessions, talks and conversations. We tried and liked Cappuccino, Americano and iced lemon tea. It was the view outside the window that really blew my mind as I lost myself amidst the blue haze of the rolling hills. The birdsong of swallows and sparrows was the perfect soundtrack for the evening. The moment was the embodiment of tranquility.

A nice place to sit and have a look at your fav books. Also, you can do chit chat with your never shutting friends. They have a nice collection of books of both fiction and Non-fiction sections. I'm from haryana and love books and it's not usual to find places like this.

It has become my go to place in Aizawl. A place for peaceful sitting with books and coffee. Thoughtfully maintained. Advise: may increase the choice of foods a little bit.

The place is cozy and nice. This place offers coffee, cappuccinos, espresso etc and some cakes and snacks. You can read and buy English and Mizo novels but the place do not offer ample spaces so I advise you not to stay long so theres space for others
