Getting Here
Sappho Books is a 15 minute walk from Central Station, or 431 and 433 buses depart regularly from Railway Square and stop opposite us at the public school.
If you’re driving, the best place to park is the Broadway Shopping Centre, which is just around the corner from us and has free parking for two hours.
Accessibility
The ground floor of the bookshop is wheelchair accessible, as is the café ordering counter and the deck. The upper floors of the bookshop are not wheelchair accessible, and there is a single step down to the side passage dining area, another single step down into the garden, and another down to the bathrooms.
When the bar is open, the entrance down the alley is wheelchair accessible but is uneven. There is a step down from the deck into the side passage and then into the garden and bathrooms as well.
We have a ramp that the staff will be happy to place where you require for each of these steps.


We’re glad to be noticed…

New Year Wishes to everyone from all the Sappho staff!
What a difficult and tumultuous year 2020 was, let’s hope we start seeing clear skies and gentle breezes ahead this year.
We look forward to greeting you all again in the new year.

Cloy: "disgust or sicken (someone) with an excess of sweetness, richness, or sentiment"! So; I hope you get so much pleasure it's potentially sickening but in your case I really hope you don't get sick of it?
Fascinant..

This is so amazing! We love your place so much and have missed it and so happy that we and everyone else on that morning tested Negative! We can't wait to safely visit again this weekend, it's our favourite cafe and bookstore in all of Sydney! <3 🙂
Magnifique ! <3
Thanks for being so transparent in your communication about this ❤️
Great Davide !! ❤❤
Further update is that ALL of our staff have tested NEGATIVE, and no positive cases have occurred from Sappho as a result of this positive person having visited the shop. We take Covid safe practices VERY seriously!
