Time Out Bookstore

Boutique one-of-a-kind books

This is one of the cutest little bookstores in Auckland I think. The shelves are lined with books and you’ll often find what you’re looking for, plus a few extras to read afterwards once you go in and start browsing. The seperate room out the back full of kids books is super helpful too if you’re looking for a gift for a little one.

This is a terrific book shop to while away the time and lose yourself in the fantastic books on offer. Love it!

Blissful browsing, unique items, cafes dotted around nearby, a treasure chest...

This wonderful bookstore is a Mount Eden institution and has a brilliant selection of fascinating books, aided by super helpful and knowledgeable staff. Definitely bring the kids as their childrens book room is fantastic and will definitely keep the little ones entertained while you discover new literary loves. It's also open late which means you can make a pitstop at one of Mt Eden's great cafes before or after your visit. This place is a bookworm's paradise.

Not technically a pure chidlren’s bookshop but this legendary independent bookstore is worth mentioning due to the quaint dedicated room for children at the back, the quality of its slection and the fact it is open until 9pm every night. Buy your books then head out for coffee. Cafes stay open late in Mt Eden Village too. Very European, only local.

This is the most beautiful and adorable little book store I have ever been to! :)

As I’m still very much a child at heart, my favourite part of Time Out is the children’s section at the back. They have so many beautifully illustrated children’s books that make me wish I had friends with kids to buy them all for. The staff are really nice AND there’s a cat - what’s not to love?

Any bookstore with a live-in cat is doing things right in my opinion. They have an interesting mix of books - great for browsing with no specific purpose. Time Out also has an amazing children’s section!

A Mt Eden village institution, this place is super cute and even has it’s own cat! The staff are all really lovely and knowledgeable, full of great recommendations - makes you glad you didn’t buy from somewhere online.
