Bay Bookshop Unclaimed

Bay Bookshop in the Cape Quarter opened in 2009 and is a sister shop to The Bay Bookshop in Hout Bay. A quality range of selected fiction, non-fiction, children's books and stationery is stocked. The Bay Bookshop is an independent, staffed by experienced and knowledgable booksellers who will assist you in the selection of the perfect read. The Bay Bookshop, the independent bookshop for unchained minds.



The Bay Bookshop opened its doors in the Mainstream Centre in Hout Bay in 2002. The decision was influenced mainly by the shop's wonderful view of the mountains and sea. Independent bookshops have become an endangered species in recent years because of the trend towards larger chain stores but the Bay Bookshop offers a level of personalised service and a tailored selection of stock that can only be achieved by a dedicated and experienced team. The bookshops' founders, Steve Davies and Pierre Engel, have decades of bookselling experience between them, both in South Africa and in London.
