The Crooked Book in Bournemouth

I was so happy to stumble across this place in the rain. I love the atmosphere, the way books are stacked up everywhere, the cute antiques and the cosy tables. The hot chocolate was amazing too!

Such a gem of a place, the best coffee and homemade cakes, in a lovely welcoming second hand book shop, selling bric a brac alongside. There is a lovely little corner tucked away for children to look at the books for sale. Just gorgeous! And they're celebrating 10 years in business this year!

My daughter and I love this little shop. New and old books, childrens books and well chosen vintage bits and pieces. We had a lovely, relaxed browse and made a few purchases...and hope to visit again. Tea, coffee and cake available to watch the world go by.

My favourite place in Boscombe ☕💕 Loved coming here and playing chess with my friend whilst sipping on tea. Lovely warm atmosphere, big slices of cake, and lots of gorg things on sale too 💗

This place has such a lovely energy inside, it feels like a little bit of home. Great selection of interesting things, nice prices on the books, and delicious coffee. Love it here!

Went there today: cappuccino and Victoria sponge, absolutely delicious in a warm, cosy, comfortable, quirky cafe-shop of books, plants and more. Loved the ambience, catering and the friendly service. I crashed out on the window, leather sofa and could have stayed a week. Great value and simply delightful. Thank you.

A haven! Books, antiques and a cafe!! Best place I have found since moving to the area!The book selection is brilliant, such a interesting and varied collection!Wonderful staff too! Spent a fabulous Saturday afternoon chatting and reading, came away with a mountain of books and a fab flat white and a feeling of intellectual refreshment !

I don’t know what can I say, cozy, it has a lot details. coffee and dessert was good. I will come once again. Thank you ❤️❤️

Lovely quirky bookshop/cafe/antique shop. Popped in with a friend to escape the rain the other day, and ended up staying for a while exploring the bookshelves, the pot plants, and sipping a lovely hot drink. Staff is lovely and helpful too. If I lived closer, would be in there every other day!

Ducked in here on a torrentially rainy day. What a wonderful little find. A mix between a little cafe (all home cooked food), a book shop, an antique shop, and a chess cafe. I loved it! Chap behind the counter was very friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming and lovely. Some older gents were intensely playing chess, someone else was browsing the eclectic antiques and my friend and I were seated for lunch. We had absolutely delicious goats cheese and chutney toasted panninis- very generous portions, at only £5.50. So so tasty too! I'll be coming back here again in the future.
