    A cosy reading cave in the centre of porty

    Trixie and her team are so welcoming to everyone. This bookshop/cafe is usually full but comfortably quiet, and is a favoruite spot for locals to sit, read and work whilst drinking lovely coffee. Their pastries and cheese toasties are really nice too with vegan sweet options. I am able to move around ok in my manual chair, apart from in the reading room which is a bit tight in some areas. I can't access the toilet, but TRAADE accross the road have an agreement with other shops to let people use their toilet when they have an access need and there are public loos across the road.
