About
Berkelouw Paddington is a large bookstore on Oxford Street combining new and second-hand books with a café upstairs called 1812. The space has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere filled with browsing customers and readers. Staff are noted as helpful and friendly. The café offers warm lighting and well-positioned tables surrounded by books, creating what reviewers describe as beautiful vibes for spending time. Book prices are reasonable. The interior invites lingering, though one reviewer felt the pastries needed improvement.
The upstairs café works for studying and reading. Tables are fairly spaced, and the café closes at a reasonable hour for workers. Wi-Fi availability is not mentioned in reviews.
