Owl & Turtle Bookshop Café

I really enjoy being in this book shop. The owners are knowledgeable and therefore very helpful. You can also get a great cup of coffee too.

Good hot chocolate

nice children books

New owners as of November 1, 2016 were super helpful to me! I went in looking for a book or two for my daughters who love to read - they've read many many YA books so I wasn't sure I'd find something new. But I did. The new owners - Craig and Maggie - greeted me and took the the time to help me find some new titles. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything. Of course I did ultimately choose a book and my daughters were delighted with it. I didn't have time to stay for coffee but the cafe area looked great too.

My partner and I swung in with our 6 month old daughter for a quiet moment to enjoy coffee and look for books. My partner sat down upstairs in the rocking chair away from the other guests to breast feed. One of the workers told her she would "be more comfortable at the bathroom across the street." This has been the only negative reaction we have received to public breastfeeding in all of Camden. We were planning on buying some books, but not after that display of rudness. Do yourself a favor and visit the antique book store just down the street.

Great bookshop and equally good coffee. Both book range and coffee choices are surprisingly diverse. The coffee is some of the best in camden and reasonable priced. Worth stopping in and sitting down inside or out

Coffee was horrendous. No caramel flavoring even though he said there was a flavor shot. Extremely overpriced. Not worth my time. It you're looking for a good coffee shop, go to Zoot. It's a few minute walk away and extremely good coffee.

Coffee was extremely overpriced, to begin with. I asked for vanilla flavoring but there was no taste at all. It was mediocre, at first. As I kept drinking, however, the coffee became extremely disgusting. Horrible aftertaste. Waste of money, but books are lit, so go for the books. Avoid the coffee at all costs.

Wonderful coffee, very good strudel, super nice barista. And it's always nice to browse books :-)

New Owner, new experience.
Once a great place to go as a family; no longer.
If you want your children to be publicly scolded for touching books they are interested in, or your teenagers to be treated like criminals because of their age, by all means, shop here.
I personally will never set foot in here again.
Such a shame.

Great coffee, good pastries, good selection of books, friendly.
