Bakka-Phoenix Books is the most complete bookstore in the speculative fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, and horror genre. It offers an amazing selection of new and used books, with everything a reader of speculative fiction could want. The space is very cute and cozy, though a bit small. The staff are patient, kind, lovely, friendly, and helpful, offering excellent tailored recommendations. Handwritten notes on the shelves point out hidden gems. It is a very chill environment with a rewards program, making it a welcoming place for all. There is no place like this place throughout space, making visitors proud to be Torontonian.
Great selection of fantasy/sci-fi novels. Loved the staff recommendations and their summaries - really fun bookstore!

The folks at Little Ghost recommended these guys to me today and I was not disappointed!
They had a great selection of Sci-fi, fantasy, and even some horror books, but my favorite part was the detailed and extensive book suggestions they gave me. Very happy with my purchases and will be back again!

Your go to book store for speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, etc.). A much-loved institution, it has that book you're looking for (even if you didn't know you were looking for that particular book when you went in), and the very knowledgable and helpful staff who can help you find it.
