Beyond Q Books, Bar & Barista

Cool place. A unique shop and place to browse, eat and read books. Great spot to hold a small gathering after hours too.Such a shame it is now closed. Covid killed it. Obviously not enough people could visit for a few months. I presume they couldn't keep up with the rent and overheads. Sad.I hope they might start up again elsewhere.

Such a unique book shop that has a lovely coffee shop upstairs. The coffee has been good every time that I have been there. I also like that they have small bite sized cakes that you can enjoy but not feel like it is too much.

A great selection of books in a charming older-world ambience. The coffee and cakes are good too.

New fav bookstore! Loved the cat, cafe with live music was lovely. Such a cool looking bookstore.

Pros: nice place to read books and get a classic milkshake while some live band or musician plays tunes in the background. Lots of parking. Good location. Lots of book variety including lots of old classics. Friendly service. Good sweets. They help firefighters too!Cons: At around the time of this review, their menu options could do with a serious upgrade. I won't currently recommend them for their brekky/lunch (e.g. mushrooms and toast is literally just fried button mushrooms on one piece of grain toast...). If they improve their menu, this place would be an excellent place to come for breakfast/lunch to eat and enjoy a good book. Otherwise go elsewhere to eat, but come here to chill and get a milkshake.

A book store with as much hear as they have books. It is so rare that one encounters a business with soul and Beyond Qbookshop is a rare example of business with soul. I cannot recommend Beyond Q highly enough. A professional well run business with awesome events and soul.

Great browse and a relaxing spot to spend a day searching through old books, have a coffee and a read, or listen to live comedy/music (so I hear)! The owners are really helpful and friendly. When they start serving hearty breakfasts with their milkshakes i'll become a regular weekend fixture.

So this was at Curtin for years and years before they had to move and I'm thrilled that they moved closer to home for me. They have a great little cafe upstairs and while we were having coffee, T2 tea and nice cakes we listened to the live music. They also have sandwiches for a light meal.Live music was a nice surprise and the service was very quick and friendly.The bookshop range is very eclectic as you'd expect from a second-hand bookshop, I always find something that tempts me.

Great space to visit when you visit Canberra. Browse through the books (you need weeks), enjoy coffee/tea or listen to music. Owners and staff are very friendly. Family friendly

Great live music and great coffee. Mix that with a collection of rare and forgotten books of the past, and it's a great place to go to be lost for an hour or so.
