Caryota Book Exchange

“I came across this hidden gem by word of mouth. After entering and discussing what I was looking for, was shown to the 1st room with an explanation of where to find the books and where to find prices. I was in the room for quite some time, selected a book and upon exiting the room, looked to my left and was enchanted by a decorated hallway with doors leading into other wonderlands. Books allocated to different rooms depending on topic, a room allocated for seating and a wonderful children and youth section. I shall definitely be back but this time will allow myself a couple of hours to wander amidst the millions of words and pictures. Thank you ladies for this treasure in Coconut Grove.”

“Great selection of secondhand books all in good condition. The store is wonderfully presented and the staff are very happy to help find your next read.”

“Caryota Book Exchange has a fantastic collection of books and plenty of room to browse. The location at Coconut Grove is perfect, and Sharon and Mary are both so friendly. Enjoyed a great chat over a good cup of coffee. Plenty of parking available. Wheelchair accessible. Highly recommended #supportlocals”

“Just stumbled upon this little treasure trove as I was exploring on my bike. The huge amount of books are thoughtfully curated and well priced, and the shop has a very homely feel as you wander through room after room. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely fantastic little book store, the kind you dream about finding! Sharon is very hands on and helpful, more than willing to help you find a specific title or browse at your own leisure. Three brightly lit, well labelled rooms of books, all categorised and obviously well maintained both in regards to shelving and condition. There is also a coffee machine that is reasonably priced, and little nooks and crannies to curl up with a book with. The outdoor courtyard is the culmination of this, with tables and chairs scattered comfortably around the place. Books can also be exchanged here for store credit, which lasts up to 6 months. 10/10 the best book store I've come across since leaving home !!”
