Collection lacks quality. Most shelves are stacked with substandard material that sells alot but lacks authenticity. No comic books. Popular demand is order of the day. Staff is intrusive and bad mannered. Frankly, I couldnt wait to get out of this place as soon as I entered. The Sethis arent paying much attention to what I thought was a worh visiting place.

Hidden near RC cola factory in Lahore. A must visit to enjoy book reading/browsing with a nice cup of coffee and snacks. Great ambience, unfortunately not many people visit the shop. It deserves better patronage.

Previously known as Vanguard Books. Good place for books and coffee; books collection is ok, sitting place is good. Good for group meets. Publishing house owned by Sethi Family.

Once it was good book store. Now it is more like sitting area for nearby offices. Its coffee shop has not variety and most of the times there is no one to take your order. On books, it does not have any new books. Years-old magazines are available, if you like. It does not have parking for more than 3 cars and those slots are already filled most of times with cars of staff.

I stop there to explore but couldnt find much verity of books further, there were no AC working properly. Although there is a sitting place where you can have coffee but wouldnt consider it for summers.

Heaven for book nerds. The books are available in various quality ranges. A great seating area is available. Books on sale, plus new and original books available too. A little cafe for coffee and fries etc. However the cafe is mediocre and overpriced. But the books make up for it and the place is aesthetic. Highly recommended for bookworms who need a cozy environment.

Books N Beans is a very good book store. Inside book store you can also find a Café, Elbow Room. Its an ideal place for small events. They have their very own sound system installed. For book worms, its something more than a book store. Clean restrooms are also available. Environment is air conditionered. One thing which makes this store unique is vast availability of international books.

A very calm and comfortable place where one can sit surrounded by books . Nothing better than having some good snacks and quality reading . One can meditate in fantasy or enjoy reading autobiographies and biographies . One can find some wonderful literary gifts for their loved ones too.

Wish they had a bigger selection of books and reordered the sold out ones on time so my trip wouldnt go waste. Still a good spot to browse around without being bothered and may be get a discount on books you buy.

Review №28

Interesting bookstore equipped with a coffee shop that holds regular events for various audiences. The book selection while reasonably diverse could be better organized.The parking though is horrible as it is on a small busy road which is mostly congested and can take you some time to find a parking spot.

Review №43

What a gem! This bookstore is far from what the tiny exterior and the inbuilt road outside lets on. Its a book heaven. As you step in through a tunnel of books you can not but help look around in awe. Its a feeling we crave for in our city so full of brick and mortar book stores will with white tiles, white shelves and washed in white lights. Books n Beans is pleasantly dusted with warm light and comfortable design.Not to mention, the excellent collection of books, the tiny Café, and the weekly panel sessions held here. Its a bookstore we Lahoris are proud of.
