Books and Bakes is the newest* (and in our opinion, cutest) bookshop in the North East, with a focus on great books, fantastic stories and exceptional coffee.
Our first chapter (Washington Galleries, NE38 7SD) is now open, where you’ll find a wide selection of fiction books from some authors you’ve probably heard of, and some you have yet to discover. If you’re unsure, we have knowledgeable staff who can help guide you to your
next
favourite book.
Come and curl up on one of our comfy chairs with a comforting hot drink and read the first chapter of a new book to see how you get on with it.
We are also shining a spotlight on local baking talent, partnering up with local bakeries to bring you the best and most delicious treats to enjoy with your coffee.
