. 兜町 Kable Book Lounge 日本の資本主義を支える街、東京の兜町は、かつての証券マンの町からはがらっと雰囲気が変わって、今ではKabuto Oneというきれいでおしゃれなビルが入り、その周辺にもおしゃれなお店が増えてきました。 そのKabuto Oneにあるブックラウンジ/コワーキングスペースに行ってきました。お昼ご飯を食べそびれた自分はこちらのホットサンドを注文。ちなみにアイスコーヒーは無料です。ビジネススペースの食事なんて、出来合いのものを出すんじゃないの？って思っていたら、ここの厨房でしっかり作っています。そしてしっかりおいしい！ そういえば、フライドポテトを注文していた人が多かった印象。手軽に食べられるのもあるのだろうけど、意外な人気メニューなのかな？ ここのスペースは、読書するスペースや仕事に打ち込むスペース、そしてリラックスできるスペースがあり、自分は #Yogibo 席を選択。ここで少し仕事をしていましたが、すぐ眠くなり、ガチで休んでしまいました！ 今回は2時間で切り上げでしまいましたが、今度は1日券で過ごしたい！それもYogibo席で（コンセントが見つからなかったけど、どこかに隠れていたのだろうか？） #kablebooklounge #kabutoone #兜町 #茅場町 #kabutocho #kayabacho #tokyo #コーヒー #coffee #サンドイッチ #ホットサンド #sandwich #ブックラウンジ #コワーキングスペース #booklounge #coworking #coworkspace #副業 #復業 #リモートワーク #remotework (at Kable Book Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfjHTF8p_K0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Within the heart of Cape Town lies a Book Lounge

By Ilhaam Darries

Are you a bookworm? And do you live in Cape Town? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then The Book Lounge is just the place for you! A Book Lounge is situated at the heart of Cape Town, yes you heard right, A BOOK LOUNGE! After discovering this store, I was taken aback because looking from the outside, you would not expect much but… I was surprised. The Book Lounge is so warm and comfy that you may even consider it as your home away from home. Situated at 71 Roeland Street, Cape Town, The Book Lounge offers amazing books as well as tasty coffee and great staff that will accompany you with your visit at the store.

After stepping into the store, it is almost as if you have entered another world where it is chaos on the outside yet peaceful on the inside. The store has huge windows facing Roeland’s busy street which adds on to how peaceful and cozy it is to be inside of the store where you are surrounded by books, coffee and nothing but good vibes. Something that I thought was really cool after my visit to the store is the fact that their coffee shop is DOWNSTAIRS!? That was something that surprised me because the Book Lounge is not that much higher than the street outside to be able to have a coffee shop downstairs. It was quite a fascinating sight to see. The Book Lounge opened up in December of 2007 and has attracted many people to pop in by the store since the inviting atmosphere never disappoints. The Book Lounge is not only for adults but for kids as well, the store welcomes people of all ages since it consists of hundreds of different types of books. The store also has an online option which means you can browse and order books at the comfort of your own home, office, etc. The store offers free delivery if your purchase is over R300 within 20km radius of the Book Lounge. Although it might be more convenient and safer to order books online because of Corana lurking in the air, you should definitely visit The Book Lounge at least once just to understand why people always return back to the store. The store does follow Covid-19 protocols therefore you would be required to sanitize your hands at the door, to have a mask on at all times and to ensure that you are maintaining social distancing from other people in the store. The Book Lounge is open from Mondays until Sundays however the times vary. From Monday- Friday the store is open from 09h00-17h00, on Saturday the store is open from 09h00- 16h00 and on Sundays the store is only from 10h00-16h00.

Culture Trip had the following to say about the store, “Cape Town‘s Book Lounge is perhaps the cosiest and most iconic bookstore. It’s situated on a corner in the city’s East City district, and the passionate staff are always willing to lend their insights and opinions.”. The Best Bookshops in Cape Town, South Africa (theculturetrip.com)

If you ever happen to be in Roeland Street, take the time to give yourself a break to relieve some stress by getting a good book accompanied with an awesome cup of coffee. If you do not want to buy a book, then consider browsing through hundreds of different types of books and take in as much of the welcoming atmosphere before leaving the store. I can assure you that you would be planning a trip back to the store not long after leaving. This independent bookshop has a lot more value to it than just being a shop filled with books and coffee therefore I would recommend The Book Lounge to anyone especially if they are looking for quality books in a welcoming area. The Book Lounge should definitely be on any bookworms to visit lists. Make sure to give them a follow on their social media platforms: (7) Book Lounge | Facebook / The Book Lounge (@booklounge) • Instagram photos and videos / The Book Lounge (@book_lounge) / Twitter
