Beacon Hill Books & Cafe officially opened its doors to customers at 71 Charles Street. It’s the first new bookstore to open in the neighborhood in nearly 30 years!
Residing in a 3,000 SqFt, four-story building in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood, each floor has individual rooms with themes like “around the world” and “aesthetics.” There’s also a shelf dedicated to Persephone Books, an English publisher focusing on works by women authors from the late 19th and 20th centuries. The bookstore sells new books for all ages and across all genres. Adult books are located on the second and third floors, while the fourth floor covers everything from board books to young adult titles. The children’s section features a miniature child-sized door and a toy train that circles the room.
But wait, that’s not all! Along with the bookstore, a cafe will be run by chef Colleen Suhanosky and serve breakfast, lunch and a lighter evening menu. Beacon Hill Books & Cafe will also be available for private bookings like dinners, birthday parties for children and adults, baby and bridal showers, cocktail parties and more.
The place is open from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM Tuesday through Saturday and from noon to 5:00 PM on Sundays (closed Mondays).
