A hidden gem that should appeal to book lovers, coffee aficionados and indeed, anyone looking for a great place to have a cake or a business meetup in the cafe upstairs - don't forget to checkout the range of pre-loved books upstairs too.
The bookstore often has author signings & other events going on and is just perfect for those of us that love the printed word.
The cafe is equally great. Nice coffee, friendly staff and they do some nice food too. I can heartily recommend their omelettes and indeed, it's become our haunt of choice for Saturday mornings when we get two hours off from being stressed parents thanks to Dance Class! :)

Coffee & books - what more does the soul need? The answer to that is cake!
This little book shop is such a quiet place and certainly is one of Waterloo's hidden gems. The Write Blend café is above the bookstore, the service was given with a smile, everyone was very welcoming, and the cake was divine.
I am very excited to say that I was there today delivering some of my own books a big thank you to Bob for offering to stock my three bestselling books. A light to guide us home, Angels around us and my first children’s book Enchanted tales of the fairy kingdom. All my books made Amazon best seller, but I am so please to be a part of the Write Blend book shop. A big thank you to Bob.
The bookstore often has author signings & other events going on and is just perfect for those of us that love the printed word, in this fast-paced world of internet and online shops.
The café upstairs is a little quiet place to enjoy coffee and cake! While you sit quietly and read your book.
I will be back of that I am certain.
The bookshop although small has a wide range of books and the service is excellent. But the premises also accommodates above the bookshop a vinyl record shop selling second hand vinyls. Here you will find a huge selection of singles and LPs from a large selection of well known and not so popular, groups and artists from yesteryear, along with memorabilia about those groups and generations past. The owner is well versed in many of the groups and artist in his collection and will happily help in conversation with customers queries. The premises is situated along the main highway, South Road Waterloo. If visiting by car then parking is limited along this road and the side roads are all residential parking only. There is a bus route via South Road if travelling by bus or visit by train stopping a Waterloo train station on South Road.
