Waterstones leeds

Waterstones (Leeds) is one of the last great bookshops and has evolved with changing times, providing a good mix of games, books and related paraphernalia. It has a dedicated children's bookshop retreat on the first floor with areas for small children through to teens. This is within easy reach of the cafe on the same floor which serves great coffee and with the option to browse-before-you-buy books whilst in the cafe, makes for a fabulous retreat from the busy streets of Leeds at any time of day for all ages.

The first time I ever stepped inside, I was blown away by the sheer size of it. Spread over 3 floors, with a coffee shop on the middle, it has something for everyone. I must have easily spent over an hour in there on my first visit. Now I go back quite often.

Can you read? Well your reading this so I'll assume that is a yes! Do you want to read more stuff? Well its your lucky day sunshine! These crazy book obsessed people have loads of stuff you can read and they will swap some of their reading stuff for your money. The end.

This is such a chilled out book store, it's brilliant! I was looking for a good Italian grammar book, which I found easily but could quite easily have found much more. The range of both fiction and non fiction is amazing, and they're more than happy for you to take a book and read it for a while before choosing a purchase!

Great cafe. Friendly staff throughout the store. We really enjoy being able to have d drink and read books before buying.

If you like books, then Waterstones is the place to go. They have an incredible selection of books spanning most genres. Worthwhile taking your time and having a good browse. I docked a star because I recognise you can often buy books cheaper online. Then I added it back because they have a great cafe. But there's a tension because I think it's important to support High Street shops.

Was looking for a book, unfortunately they didn't have it. But they were so lovely and helped me look for it. Lovely guy with the most beautiful nails in there, oh my god! Thank you so much! Really welcoming and lovely guy!

Beautiful shop over three floors. Could easily spend all day in there. Lovely staff.

Probably my favourite place in leeds, extremely helpful and kind staff. If they dont have what your looking for they will try to get it for you. The cafe has some great food and delicious Mocha

The atmosphere was brilliant. Asked the assistant for some information and she was so helpful. Will definitely be going again and the cafe serves lovely coffee.
