A feminist bookshop-café with heart and a vegan sweet tooth
Librairie Majo is the kind of place that restores your faith in independent bookshops. Tucked away on rue des Boulangers, a stone's throw from Jussieu and the Panthéon, this feminist LGBTQIA+ bookshop doubles as a small vegan café — and it does both things with conviction. The book selection is sharp and thoughtfully curated: feminist essays, queer literature, graphic novels, and titles you won't easily find elsewhere. The staff are passionate and will happily talk you through their latest favorites.
The café side is modest but lovely. Expect good coffee and homemade vegan cakes that are genuinely delicious, not afterthoughts. It's a small space, so don't come with a big group — this is a spot for lingering solo or with one friend, flipping through a book you just bought. The atmosphere is warm, inclusive, and unhurried. One reviewer called it "un incontournable" — a must-stop on every Paris visit — and with a 4.8 rating across over 500 reviews, that's not just hype. This is a place with heart.
