  • Bookworm, Thurles 📚

Few things go better together than books, coffee, and cake, and Bookworm has been bringing all three together in the heart of Thurles for over 30 years 💛

Located on the corner of Liberty Square and Parnell Street, Bookworm is one of Ireland’s best-loved independent bookshops, filled with everything from bestselling novels and local interest titles to children’s books, gifts, cards, and more 📖

Tucked away at the back of the shop is their cosy café space, a peaceful little escape surrounded by shelves of books, perfect for slowing down with a freshly brewed Italian ILLY coffee, a Barry’s Tea, and one of their delicious homemade cakes or buns ☕🍰

Whether you are searching for your next great read, meeting a friend for coffee, or simply looking for a quiet corner to relax for a while, Bookworm is one of Thurles’ loveliest spots to spend an afternoon.

As part of our Taste of Our Town campaign, we would like to say a huge thank you to Bookworm for contributing a €30 voucher towards our giveaway 🎉

👉 Call in this summer, grab a coffee, browse the shelves, and support one of Thurles’ most treasured local businesses.

Monday - Saturday: 9:30am to 6:00pm
