Bloom & Curll

Great independent bookshop. Wide variety of books new and old with ever changing and interesting window selection. Very enthusiastic owner who seems to have read most of the books who once let me off with 50p! Definitely worth having a look in if you are looking for something in particular or just passing by!

This gem of a bookshop is a real favourite of ours. I could spend hours choosing a selection to bring home, there is just so much of a selection to get well and truly lost in. It’s tucked right near park street and Bristol Royal Infirmary, up Christmas Steps. I’d definitely recommend this spot if you like to pique your curiosity and are a book lover like me! I would highly recommend this book shop & hope you enjoy it as much as my husband and I do.

Brilliant 2nd hand bookshop in a great location, we always find something to take home from Bloom & Curl. A classic cosy bookshop feel when you stumble in form the cold (or the heat!) with a little bench outside if you want to sit and read your new purchases. Close to Ahh toots to grab a quick coffee too. Lots of Sci Fi and really knowledgable owners.

Absolutely buzzing! Friendly staff and you can find both 2nd hand and new books here! The range of collection is amazing

Perfect place to find the books you weren't looking for!! Total pleasure, happy to return on our next trip to Bristol.

I LOVE this little independent local book store.
They have some really amazing books, and the owners are adorable people.

Cozy little bookshop with a nice variety of selections, helpful staff, and they gave me a chocolate with the purchase, will come back again.

This is a really lovely bookshop, but unfortunately our experience was dampened when the staff member working that day was rude to us. We had only been looking around for a few minutes and he asked us if we needed any help, to which we replied no thank you. He then said something along the lines of OK well there are people waiting outside. I get that it's hard with Covid as only so many people can be in the shop at one time but we hadn't been in there long and obviously you have to take some time to browse the shelves in a bookshop, especially when there are as many books as there are in their shop! He also commented on me taking photos which I had intended to use to promote the shop on my popular Bookstagram account. Sadly a negative experience overall and I don't think I'll be going back.
