My Dream Book Cafe


Artwork by Izzy Burton

For those of you who don’t know Tata owns retail giant Zara (Asian Division) he has always been my FAV & he doesn’t have kids, maybe one day he’ll adopt me too lol kidding but let’s say if I had a million dollars I would’ve purchased Zara, the whole brand obviously and designed gorgeous outfits...

It sounds impossible in this life but I think we can all have lofty dreams and since I don’t have anyone to share them with in person I’m sharing a few things here. My current obsession is my next book & let’s say if it would’ve been possible for me to have a real bookstore & library instead of a virtual one (I’ve even decided the name I’ll be purchasing the domain pretty soon) I would’ve come up with a one-of-a-kind book cafe - I would keep coffees obviously, eggless biscottis & freshly baked snacks, I would’ve also kept a kid’s section which I would’ve designed myself with play mats & toys, I would’ve launched a Good Night collection for them - comprising of Book sets with matching teddy bears or soft toys for gifting, we would’ve used sustainable Book Bags and housed a range of other things to enhance your reading experience & also, to make people interested in books again! We would sell Books, fancy bookmarks, scented candles, hot chocolate mix (not without marshmallows and cinnamon sticks, never) cuddly throws, Japanese stationery, mugs, affordable bookends, quaint, novelty vintique (google it) toys, compasses, musical boxes... a few of them to make people nostalgic, as a kid I remember I would go to Navneet Bookstores during my vacations & buy crafty books which would have pre designed paper models, the instructions and adhesives would be given inside, it was their speciality, the store was in town near my grandma’s house who later shifted from there, unfortunately that store has also shut down :/ I would’ve made my cute lil’ book cafe more vintage with wooden flooring, a canopy roof and charming logo... and I would’ve spent my whole day there mainly because it would’ve smelled great! Haha with all the freshly baked snacks, coffee, smell of old books aah apothecary, yum hot coco with cinnamon lol
