Books & Beans

Books and Beans has changed the landscape of literature and community in Tilburg for me and I am sure, for a lot of other residents also. Not only are they the kindest, cutest, cat-loving, and most dedicated owners.... They go OUT of their way to enrich everyone else's experience of living in Tilburg by creating all kinds of literary events, bookclubs and game sessions and I am sure, much more. Not only do they ofc carry all the big fun titles we all want to devour, they always have interesting works by authors I might never have heard from AND they always give space in their shelfs to important voices in society, voices coming from conflict, lgbtq+ authorship, these guys care. Their bookshop is to me more than just another shop, it's all that's right with humanity 🥹. Love them, love their shop, if I'm ordering a book I always do it through them now and they ALWAYS are so helpful and kind. All of this AND they have delicious treats for you to linger around and read or work etc????? Go to books n beans, buy a book, join a book club, get a treat, be happy 👍👍👍👍

One of my favorite bookstores ever. The vibes are stellar, owners are so great, the drinks and snacks immaculate, and they support human rights...what could be better?! 😍🥳

Best book store and cafe in Tilburg. They serve the best coffee in town in my opinion. Their vibe is super nice and the space feels so welcoming . Their book selection is really good and I especially love their manga shelf. I think it’s the biggest in Tilburg. The staff is super friendly and super cute. Definitely a go-to spot now. Edit: still the best! Coffee lemonade is a must try, especially in the summer. They now also offer seasonal items. They regularly host events like book clubs, best to follow their Instagram. The space is so welcoming, to whoever you are. Is a Tilburg must visit!

A wonderful English bookstore in Tilburg, with a cozy atmosphere, amazing fantasy section and delicious food, including my favorite pandebonos and a newly added arepa with avocado. Great place to find your favorite books, take part in activities like book clubs and D&D sessions, or sit down with your coffee and chill with a good read.
