Juan Darien Books
Juan Darien Books (named after a short story by Uruguayan writer Horacio Quiroga) has been a project in the making for 20 years between owner Sarah and coffee roaster Hernan of Anastasis. It is founded on a pooled collection of new and pre-loved books (once our only possessions) and on hours of reading aloud while overdosing on espresso shots from a commercial machine plumbed into the laundry of the house.
Opening hours: Open 7 days 11am-4pm (winter)
Address: 87 Victoria Road, Devonport, Auckland 0624
