The towering yellow walls are not the only reason we are a bright spot in Golden’s landscape.
Bacchus Books and Café, Golden’s 2007 Business of the Year, offers a refuge for both the mind and the palate.
Our combination bookstore / café with its sweet little riverfront patio anchors the intellectual with the culinary in an atmosphere cultivated to respect the historical yet push the edges of the modern.
We feature a varied range of intriguing titles chosen both cerebrally and viscerally.
We pride ourselves on loving and thinking our stock. If it is not in store, we can and will find it. Search our web store and/or contact us to help you find your treasure.
We carry 10000+ used titles and are constantly updating our stock.
We pride ourselves on being able to track down and order out of print and hard to find titles.
Please contact us and let us help you find that wicked little gem.
We are creaky and quirky and oh so homemade.
Specializing in hand milled labour of love soups, our eclectic menu is a delight to foodies near and foodies far. [see our menu]
Delicious daily specials and fresh baking round out our café’s core menu.
Browse the walls of books while your taste buds are kept busy, or wander out to our riverside patio and watch the Kicking Horse river flow on by.
Shop local, read a lot, be rewarded!
Every time you make a purchase at the regular price--whether it's from our shelves, or is a special order--we ask you for your phone number to retrieve your account.
Ten per cent of the value of your purchase is then credited to your account. When the credit on your account reaches $15.00 or more (i.e., after you spend $150 before taxes), you can use it against your next purchase at the store.
