Blossom Book House
Three floors, about 200,000 books, an hour minimum. The Church Street stop where you lose track of time.
why we keep going,
Used and rare on one of the floors, new releases stacked everywhere else. Ground floor for philosophy and Foucault, top floor for cookbooks and history.
Sits directly above Matteo Coffea. The two together are the easiest afternoon plan in Bangalore.
Browsing is the dominant mode and nobody hurries you. Bring a list or you'll buy three things you can't carry.
local context
Started in 2002 by Mayi Gowda and now sprawls across three floors in the Prestige Commercial Complex, with a separate Church Street branch dedicated to used and rare titles.
