This is one of the smaller branches. It has a small coffee shop, with very good pastries.
The staff are excellent and most helpful. There is the feel of being in a small local bookshop, but with modern decor and layout.
Whenever I visit, every few weeks, I have to steel myself to curb my spending otherwise I'd easily buy more books than I could read.....thanks to very enticing displays.
Thank goodness for Waterstones loyalty card.

Nice book shop with a café.

A physical bookshop. With real touchable paper books. A rare thing worthy of support these days.

Had a lovely cup of tea with the best bakewell cake. Sat outside and our tea was taken outside for us, all part of the lovely service 😀

Friendly, knowledgeable staff always on hand to make a recommendation and guide you to the right bookshelf. Great selection of books for the shop size, with everything from travel guides to manga. A nice little selection of non- book gifts and a cafe rounds it all out.

Great bookshop,Byres road lost its last book store quite a few years ago so I was thrilled to see Waterstones bring one back. There's a coffee shop within and two floors of books. Ground floor factual, history, military, science, biography etc,top floor,best sellers, fiction and coffee. Highly recommended.

Maybe Waterstones were pushing it to open up in this average sized Byres Road shop. It can get cramped at times but it's quite an achievement to get a variety of books, some non book gift items and a cafe into this tight space so I was pleasantly surprised.

The staff are friendly and very helpful, the shop is a wonderful.place itself. Fully recommend taking the time to have a beverage and cake(the courgette cake is out of this world) Books and good refreshments, what more could you ask for?

Love the atmosphere in here, bright & warm - a small cafe area, but you can sit outside too, even in the rain! (If the wind isn't blowing.) Possibly the best tasting coffee (IMO) Staff are friendly & knowledgable. For a big chain it has a real 'village coffeeshop' vibe
