Friendly, local indy bookstore smack in the heart of Miami Beach. Such a refreshing relief from the main drag that is the Lincoln shopping strip.Nice selection of books for all ages. Not a lot of places to sit, but one could purchase a book and hang out at the Cafe at Books & Books right outside. They also offer many writing implements and Moleskin notebooks.Support local bookstores!!

Such an amazing bookstore . The cards they have are great. The books they have are so different from chain bookstore. You can discuss lots of things with the experienced staff.

Very nice! This hidden gem is well stocked with some great titles. Tucked away at the rear of a restaurant the half dozen rooms have a lot to offer a book lover.

No longer a bookstore. Seems like a decent cafe though.

This place is larger than you might think and surprisingly good. Great collection of trendy and old books with a nerdy atmosphere.

Cool little spot and surprisingly quiet for being within the Lincoln road mall domain. Good spot to do some reading

The crab cakes are great and staff is very friendly

Great independent bookstore with a nice assortment of local and mainstream books.They also have a cafe, which I didnt try.

Just cam back to this place and it’s different. Looks like new management. Food is still good but they are a lot less environmentally friendly. Everything is plastic which is creating more waste.

Book store is now permanently closed which the neighboring retailer mentioned happened at the start of the pandemic. Google, please update to permanently closed!

I can’t recall another bookstore anywhere in the World from where you can get food for your belly and your mind like in here. This must be one of my most favourite places in Miami Beach and I try to get here when ever I visit the area. The bookstore part is really, really, REALLY nice. And also one of the few places who sells newspapers (at least we haven’t found another one). The café/restaurant/part is vegan friendlyVisit them, you will not regret.

Nice food. Vegan options.

Nicely arranged, you can easily loose track of time admiring that amazing collection.

Very nice little restaurant!! Great service and great food

Food and service was great, the beer was not really cold though.

I love this place. They have a great selection of books, including many large format art books from specialty publishers. Its tucked back off Lincoln Road and is actually bigger than youd expect. Its perfect for browsing and for finding that perfect book. I visit every time Im in Miami.

I wish lincoln road had more book stores. This store specializes in unique art books. They fully embrace the modern Miami Beach vibe. However, unlike some other nearby places, there is more here than limited edition coffee table books. They have a great childrens book room, another room just dedicated to travel books and moleskin journals, and a variety of books with little recommended from our staff labels to help you find your next best read. A lot of new nonfiction, but a whole fiction room in the back as well. Like much of Lincoln Road, premium things here are expensive. Still, I found a gigantic Star Wars calendar with concept art from the original trilogy for such a great price the guy at the counter double checked to make sure that was really all it cost. There are deals to be had.Didnt try the food at the cafe you pass as you walk in but it looks amazing!

Very nice book store!

Great restaurant for casual healthy food set on the beautiful Lincoln Rd.

The bookstore is really cool. It is hidden off the strip so you have to go back to find it. It is smaller but has a few rooms off the main room that are floor to ceiling books. We found a great variety as well as tons of local books we were not able to get anywhere else. There is a whole room dedicated to travel and different t cities. We found a huge variety of tourist type books about Miami and Cuba.

Beautiful mural in front of the store. Set back behind a cafe. Love the atmosphere of the entire store and selection. The organization was also very easy to follow.

Cool bookshop. Kinda hidden at the back of a restaurant. A great place to escape the non-stop parties on Miami beach.

I lovely place to delight yourself with its selection of beautifully curated books. Great ambience. A classy place to visit.

The restaurant has changed! I loved the old restaurant at Books & Books, it was a reason for me to actually go to Lincoln Rd. Aura at Books & Books (the current restaurant) is now a tourist looking restaurant. There are ugly food pictures on the menu, giant drinks, and hookah. Such a shame to ruin the original vibe. Book store is still magnificent.

A great place with an easy going feel to it. They have a collection of books that are hard to find in the mainstream bookstores. The staff is very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. You can get a bite to eat while reading the book you just purchased. Overall Books and Books is an excellent spot to catch up on your fun reads, must reads find new reads lists. You can spend a nice bit of time away from the hustle and bustle of Lincoln road mall. A nice change of pace in the heart of South Beach.

I love this place. Its my go to spot when in Lincoln road. Quality ingredients and innovative recipes. Sit outside and people watch while eating their curry chicken salad with quinoa, or The South Beach Sandwich with turkey, watercress, melted brie and pears... decadent! Vegan friendly.

This store has a very interesting selection of books and the store is really well organized. The staff were eager to help me look for stuff and they have an interesting post card section near the front.. very cool!

What a great experience I had here at BOOKS & Books for Brunch.after arriving we were seated and served immediately. The food must have taken about 25 minutes to arrive to the table which I considered great timing, and the brunch was just phenomenal I must say, nice and warm, well prepared, exactly to order and the waiter was very polite.It made our morning so much better to have the chance to have such a pleasant and tasty brunch along with some good classic service.Great Brunch, great price, great service, you NEED to try books and books!

My “chicken Milanese” was dry, hard and salty. My wife’s fish didn’t taste fresh. The restaurant “Carrot Express” is close by and much better.

Cute store. The only book store in the area so was nice to go to when I needed a read. Staff was super helpful. Wish there was a sale section. They have these amazingly funny cards at their checkout counter also, be sure to not miss those!

Decent selection. Good service. Nice atmosphere.

I live in Miami and this is my go to spot on South Beach. Great vibe, always friendly atmosphere, good drinks and food.Maria is wonderful, always with a smile on her face!

Great freindly service. A Proper Cuban sandwich, good local craft beer from Concrete Brewery, and a huge bowl of (black bean) soup. Then wander around the bookstore and leaf through the gorgeous coffee table books- just added a star!

Wonderful experience! Staff are fantastic, helpful, and passionate. Great atmosphere too. I cant wait to go again!

I feel it is very important to support locally owned businesses. PLUS... Books & Books always has wonderful programs

Good bye. Soon to close permanently due to bad headcold CoVid.

Great selection, nice staff, good location, basically open any time

Fine. Stopped in the long walk back to the hotel from dinner on the bay side because they had two for one drinks

We used to sit here 3 times a week, loved their food and service but unfortunately they changed ownership and the food is very bad now. They reduced the portion and it feels like someone is trying to save on the customers expense. Too bad

No used books sadlyCheck the staff recommended for good tips

Great little book store in Miami. Dank. Would recommend

A gem tucked away in the bustling strip of restaurants and bars.

Breakfast food was amazing! Lovely atmosphere! Always a must when visiting South Beach.

Good place for a quick bite!

Food was average at best. Ordered Calamari & fried zucchini, burger, pasta, steak tacos and cobb salad. All just okay, not highly recommended.$3.95 for a can of pop and no free refills. Cra cra

Great bookshop, and the restaurant is outstanding. I had the tuna poké, which is pricey but comes with a wildly generous portion of tuna (good to share), and the strawberry daiquiri was delightful

Maybe the only bookstore in Miami Beach. There isnt much to see and to buy... It deserves more space and a better place. Miami Beach needs cultural places.

This bookstore sheds light on an exciting and interesting selection of great reads. Humor section is impressive and atmosphere was wonderful and inviting. One of the best places Ive found on Miami Beach.

Delicious fresh food with excellent service and reasonable prices. Also amazing spot for people watching on Lincoln Road.

Good food. Great service. Fun location. Reasonable prices

Very good place to eat or have a breakfast, very visited, a place to see others and be see too.

Cute little bookstore tucked away in the outdoor mall. Knowledgeable staff. Good recommendations.

Always find everything I want for my reading needs

Enjoyable place to buy books. Miami and the beach needs this. So support this great local business for local culture to keep thriving.

Me and my girlfriend had very good dinner . It’s quick and friendly stuff . I ll definitely be back.

Love.this.book.store. Their collection is great and youll find what you need on one of two floors.

Love this place, a book shop done right. Amazing range, knowledgeable staff, great recommendations, and a cosy atmosphere. Go check it out

I truly love this bookstore! I never visit South Beach without a stop into Books & Books. Its a carefully curated selection of fantastic books! I support local, especially when they are doing everything right!

This is where we began the Taste of South Beach tour, with our great guide, Richie!

I have found many hidden gems throughout this book store I definitely recommend it if you are a bookworm like me😌

Great book store great location in the heart of the everything!

Nice little book store to browse through. No place to sit down. There are 2 chairs in the whole place. Since it is in a tourist place, so I guess the intention is not for one to stay there long.

I love book stores. I could spend all day in a book store. This place is awesome and the staff is incredibly knowledge able and friendly.

Gorgeous fit out. Could have spent a lot of time and money there if time allowed

Glad we still have book stores around that offer such great variety in books, magazines, and accessories.

Quite and peaceful environment

I had breakfast here outside with my dog. They were super nice and the food was awesome. They even had a doggie water dish for her and boiled her an egg for me! (A special treat for her.)

Great bookstore with a comfortable feeling through its many rooms specializing in different areas. I was a little disappointed not to find a biography of Mary Shelley among the mounds of their book treasures

A wonderful bookstore tucked behind Aura restaurant.

Unique in that its a successful, locally owned bookstore with all kids of titles available.

Great waite staff, great food.

Its a great restaurant, i love their salads. And about the books, its absolutely amazing, a little place that becomes bigger and bigger as you walk in.

If youre looking for a small and cozy book store, this is the place!

Very good selection of books especially the topics that i am interested in such as Psychology, Pets and Entertainment, especially music.

Great food!!! Living in Miami and its my first experience here. Definitely recommended! Salmon salad is so delicious!

Great place for a bite and a browse through some hard to find editions.

Great selection, friendly helpful staff. Has a warm cozy atmosphere.

What a wonderful resource! Books are still cool. Thanks Books & Books

Great breakfast and nice staff.

Great food and great for people watching

Servers seemed bored and sad. Food was disappointing. Sangria disappointing. Patio was nice and the no straws was nice.

Neat bookshop, not strong on comics/ graphic novels.

Beautiful book store, a great place to hang out if its raining in Miami.

Nice local bookstore with moderately priced food for Lincoln Road.

Great place, amazing book selection, very modern and the place is really well decorated, cozy ambient and great staff!
