Central Market Bookshop

Orchard Bookshop is located in the Central Market and has a collection of really specific and interesting books you won’t find anywhere else.

Matilda Bookshop is located in the Adelaide Hills and run by book-lovers (obviously) and will be your perfect bookworm companion for helping you find the next book to sink your teeth into. They specialise in children’s books and garden books specifically which means that if you’re into this type of book you’ll have a wider variety than other independent bookstores.

Each second handbook purchase donates to a foundation as well so it’s not just a great place for coffee but a great place to make a positive impact on the world! It’s a relaxing vibe and a beautiful decor making it the perfect place for Adelaide bookworms.
