Blackwell’s Bookshop manchester

Friendly staff, cosy environment. Not a huge selection of books, but it's not a very big bookstore. It does have a nice cafe area upstairs, which is surely a plus.

If you like stylish stationery, books, coffee and a place to chill out or work comfortably, you are going to love this place! They have great book offers, activities and a very warm atmosphere.

It's time for honesty about bookshops. I have to say I found this one disappointing. Manchester is a great city and Manchester University has a long and respected tradition. I expected much more from Manchester University bookshop. There are simply not enough academic titles on sale here, not nearly enough. The reason is not hard to find. Much of the ground floor is given over to best-selling fiction that can be had anywhere. And half of the top floor is given over to a coffee shop. I'm sorry, the staff are great, the location is wonderful, but the opportunity is wasted. Bookshops are for books, university bookshops are for the curiously minded who want to learn and to dig deep in specialist corners, not be merely entertained. And coffee shops are for coffee.

Great book shop. Good selection. Cafe Nero as well. Browse the books and great coffee what more can you want.

Very nice atmosphere and a very cosy café upstairs. Great for getting you student books because they will match your price if you find a lower one anywhere. The staff is very friendly and willing to help.

The perfect bookshop away from the bustle of town with a coffee shop above. What more could you want?

Really like this bookshop it is very peaceful and super handy that is has a Cafe Nero 😋 I always pop in here on a Sunday whilst my daughter swims quite a few sale items to keep an eye out for 👀

Nice bookshop, logically aimed at students. Nice to have decent coffee shop inside.

Fantastic selection of books and some great deals! Really helpful staff. Cafe Nero is really good too. Great service all round!

LOVE it! Huge selection on both floors! Lovely staff, and of course, coffee shop on the 1st floor is beautiful as well.
