This entry has a special significance for us because in a way it represents the culmination of all our bookish trips, the visited bookstores, all the places and people that inspired us during the time we've spent traveling around Europe and working on this Guide. It's the thing we've always dreamed of and we've finally found the courage to make it happen. We are finally able to add our own brick-and-mortar Bookstore (opened in February 2016) to Bookstore Guide.

Eleven Books & Coffee was opened as a continuation of our online secondhand English bookstore (launched in 2011) another step on a journey started way before Bookstore Guide saw the light of day in 2007. The stock comprises of carefully selected English fiction and non-fiction, with the regular categories such as contemporary fiction, classics, historical novels and in the non-fiction realm business, philosophy, history, psychology, biographies, travel, etc.). Recently, we have also added a smaller German language book section, with more international languages to follow in the near future. The cozy bookstore is also a cafe with freshly roasted coffee, a careful selection of teas, lemonades, cakes (mostly vegan) so you could sit down with an interesting book and lose yourself while nurturing all your senses. We are planning to prolong the opening hours in the upcoming months in order to add another temptation to the offer - wine.

The bookstore itself is located in a narrow cobblestone street in the very center of Bratislava, yet sheltered from all the hubbub of Michalska street, which is adjacent. We hope to enjoy this experience as much as possible and try out all the ideas born during our bookstore-hunting trips.
