★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love this place. I don't get the warm and fuzzies from the staff to be honest but I'd rather spend my money with a local place over a big box store. I can always find a book and if they don't have it they can order it. This time I was after books for my daughter (11) and found a few great options.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great independent bookstore. Great vibes. Good range of books, stationery, cute gifts and greeting cards. I love that they are right next to a really good cafe/restaurant, too.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Shhhh, this place is the best kept secret.
Wide selection of books for what is a relatively small shop. Adjoining restaurant is stellar.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'm all for supporting local!
The Bookshelf is lovely. It's a place you can not only purchase a book, but also greeting cards, games, clothing and stationary.
The Bookshelf supports local artists: check out the cards!
Parking downtown Guelph isn't always the most convenient, and there is no parking lot during the day that you can use (street parking only).
There's a cinema on the second floor, it's pretty neat.
It would be nice that their information stations were working properly, as when it gets busy in the store it's not always easy to get help from staff.
The prices are more expensive than say Amazon and even Indigo...I've actually purchased a cookbook from Shopper's Drug Mart that was about 25% cheaper than The Bookshelf...so do your research if you're on a budget.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It had been through a renovation since my last cinema visit. My sister in law and I saw the movie Marlene. Awesome recollection of her journey and constant struggle to clear Steven of a gross neglect of justice!! Bookshelf did a Wonderful job of show casing and a true support of the Truscott family!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I visited in-person for the first time since COVID and it's still the same warm and cozy bookstore you'd expect in a romanticized movie.
Coming in from the rain on a slow Froday afternoon, I'm greeted by friendly staff and their selection of new and recommended books. The in store selection is smaller than chapters, but every book seems worth your time and interesting, as if it were curated just for you. They're also able to order basically any book you'd like, so don't be shy about asking for a book you want but can't find.
The store is clean, the shelves are tidy and the atmosphere is calming.
As I checked out with Ishiguro's "Klara and the Sun" in hand, I had a nice chat with the person on cash about the book. Special note: their bags are also compostable.
I really love the Bookshelf, and I can't wait for it's theatre to open again. It's a genuine part of what makes Guelph feel special and like home. Please support this local bookstore.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have enjoyed the Bookshelf for books and movies for years. Staff is always friendly, the store is organized well, and they do a good job updating the website. I was looking for a new book and before checking the big boxes I checked out the Bookshelf....they had the book, same price, easy ordering, and free in Guelph delivery on the next day. Buy local, especially when local is run this well.
