Your student-run spot for textbooks, cafe treats, events and community
Come and relax and read a few chapters of that book you’ve been meaning to read and enjoy a cup of coffee, weekly/monthly drink special or perfectly brewed latte. Haven is also a sanctuary to take in the sweet sounds of local musicians, admire student art, and indulge in our store history. We are not just a café or a textbook store; we are a community – a space for you to come in and meet your neighbours in a warm and welcoming environment.
At Haven, we’re known for:
- Textbook for Less – Our prices undercut our competitors. Shop online or in-store to purchase new and used textbooks and e-books.
- Consignment – Our program still pays you 75% of the used price when your book sells, plus we’ve made a few improvements. We now post your book with your price on our website so it can be sold to anyone.
- Cafe Offerings – Try our local and artisanal food and beverage offerings; we partner with community gems like the French Baker, Fluid solar coffee roasters, Nat’s Bread Co, and much more to bring you the freshest and tastiest treats. Try our rotating drink specials which are the created by our lovely student staff
