Champaca Bookstore, Library and Cafe

We are an independently-owned women-run bookstore and cafe, and a diverse community of people. We work together in selecting and sourcing the books we stock, and managing the very integral day-to-day activities of running our store. We enjoy the whimsy of a bookshelf, and hope that you discover something fresh and interesting each time you visit—a new way of looking at the world. If you’d like, we would be delighted to spend time with you, and help you foray in directions you may not even know you were looking for. On our shelves, you’ll find books from caste narratives in rural India to dystopian futures where people can move the earth; moving personal memoirs on mental health to poetry bound in sari cloth; and translations from over twenty languages, from India and internationally.
