ivallan's Second-Hand & Exceptional Books

I stumbled across the shop while walking by and absolutely loved it! The shop interior is lovingly arranged, whimsical and invites you to explore. The book selection is top notch 👌👌It’s a mix of used and new books, that’s VERY well picked. The staff was super nice and friendly. This was an all around pleasant experience.

Gorgeous place full of whimsy and stuffed with books – not an empty shelf in sight. Don't expect rough-around-the-edges kinds of books for low prices but do expect to find the kinds of books you didn't know you were looking for.

Good English language bookshop with a wide range of books. Much better selection of poetry and graphic novels than I've seen in similar bookshops in other countries. Mix of second-hand and new books, I believe. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable but not overbearing staff.

Such a beautiful bookstore with lovely owners. I felt so welcome there and the setting is so casual and homely. You can find a decent variety of books and they can also order one for you if you like. You can sit there and read for a while and you can buy coffee really cheap and surprisingly good. I loved visiting them, browsing and buying books, reading themed sipping coffee and just relaxing. I’ll keep on visiting them. Hats off to them for creating such a relaxing vibe.

I came into this secondhand bookstore looking for 25 books as a gift for my team - and honestly, I arrived with no expectations. What happened over the next few days completely exceeded anything I imagined. The team at the bookstore was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and enthusiastic from the start. They supported my idea wholeheartedly and helped me find the perfect selection of books. Over the course of three days, they turned the project into something really special. They also wrapped the books absolutely beautifully - with so much care and attention to detail. Every time I came in, they were welcoming, positive, and genuinely happy to help. The result? The team absolutely loved the gift. It couldn’t have turned out better. Huge recommendation for this bookstore. I truly hope it gets all the attention and customers it deserves.

I love this bookshop! Everything is all higgeldy piggledy and it's fun to have a proper rummage and see what you find. There aren't just books, there are also posters, postcards, and other knick knacks around the place. It's not cheap but it's fun to visit

i love this store so much. so cozy and welcoming, an escape from bustling reality. i walk past it every day on my way to work and each time there is another book that catches my eye from the store window. i can’t help myself walking inside regularly and looking through the shelves. fantastic selection of both new and second-hand books. i’ve been able to find every book i ever searched for regardless of how niche or bizarre it is. the staff is sweet, knows their craft, and the atmosphere invites you to linger. support your local bookstores!!!

I was walking around when I suddenly find this treasure. Beautiful bookshop.. fantastic books and great friendly staff ♥️ Love it and from now on it's my favourite bookshop in Berlin. Thanks to the owners for creating such a nice space full of amazing books.
