The best place. You cannot resist picking up a random book and read a page or two while your visit to crossword. The place is big, have enough genres, toys for kids and best part you get the bookmarks free at the cash counter. You can even randomly sit down in a corner and even quiet ambience read through the pages of the book.
The smell of old books always fascinated me... Apart from that the collection that crossroads has is decent. As they say old Is gold it is definitely one of the oldest bookstores around in Mumbai and is a good place to reminisce your childhood days.
The place is going to close down in about a month. So right now they are offering huge discounts of upto 90% off on their books.
Ac not kept on. Cant spend hours here because of that. The eatery inside is shut.
Good for children of any age ...has tons of variety
I have had innumerable memories of this place from my childhood itself. Sitting and reading books. Sadly its closing down :(.
Best place for books but the current ongoing sale is quite a scam!
Sad to say as came to know this place is closing down from next month
My forever favourite store! Has a beautiful nostalgia to it and a wide collection of books. Has a nice collection of gifting products, games and stationery. Huge space and good staff. One of the few places in Mumbai which still provides great experience and products
Air conditioner not working for sometime now.

Great place for person who is interested in books. All you get here is a great book and great cup of coffee at cafe inside the crossword
Temple of books.solace
Very fun place. You can read books for free. A really nice place for a book lover
Favourite spot for a book lover. High shelves filled with books. True book lovers paradise..
Great store I loved shopping... Right price but some of the books I desired werent available.... Must see
I love how they conduct book launches very well. There is a huge variety of books. They also have a good collection of toys, bags, stationary, electronics, etc. The staff is very friendly. Sometimes they spend hours searching a title that you asked for. On can also sit with peace and read their favourite title. There is also a cafè inside the bookstore.
Love the bookstorr vibe!!
Good collection of books, novels, board games, stationary and such. Also houses a small cafe (Smoke House Deli) which serves delish food.
Always a pleasant experience, especially there cafe by Smokehouse Deli, its the highlight of the visit anyday
Its closing downFeeling sad 😥
Its a really big store. As with most other crossword stores, this is an elegant store with all the sections youll need. The only minor problem is the parking because it is located on a very busy street
Great location. One of the last few bookstores with such a huge display.Sale is quite a deception, disappointment.
Wide range of books.Big space to walk around.Small cafe present in store.Two wheeler parking space available nearby.
Its always a pleasure to visit Crossword. But, the store had apparently suffered because of Covid crisis and also facing challenges owing to books available at cheaper prices at online platforms. I believe, Crossword has to reinvent itself with broad based product inventory.
Pretty dead now, lost its charm. No cafe either. Parking is a problem. Staff is quite sleepy
Good collection of books and encourage to browse or read book before you buy.
They dont allow bags in, which is a bit annoying but understandable.I wasnt too happy with their selection of books or with their stacking.But at the end of the day I managed to pick up a nice book.
Oh the best crossword in all over mumbai!
For many, the love for reading starts with the first step you take in Crossword bookstore. You dont just see books, you smell them. The justice to, and representation for, the physical dimension of the hobby gets done at this brick-&-mortar monument in the era of ebooks.
Great collection, but no deals or discounts. :(
Magazines varities are less.
Great selection of books but not enough people to help one find what one is looking for.
On verge of shut down 😭😭
Nice place to buy all kind of books
The staff there is really helpful and polite.
Good place to spend time with kids as its interesting to see a wide collection of books in a welcoming ambience. Apart from discounts you get autographed books and latest collection of titles as and when they are released. Must visit of you are a wordsmith or a book worm. I for one would definitely recommend it for kids and young alike. Respite from the addictive mobile for sure. Do visit
Good collection of books, toys, pens and above all a quaint little cafe...
Its a great place right in the middle of South of Bombay wonder if they can get me any book or mag ever printed bcuz back in the year 1996 I had acquired Grouchos letters from lotus in Bandra infact
There can more amount of books atleast just dedicate the ground floor to books and first floor can be about merchendise
One of the few big crossword stores remaining in mumbai.
Love the bookstore. Still maintained its own and old charm. The cafe upstairs is the perfect place to sip your drink with a book in hand. You always leave this place feeling happy- with or without a purchase!
They have not been stocking enough books.most titles not available. Staff is confused and lost. Discounts announced are silly..but good place for book.lovers considering there are few options in south mumbai.
Nice bookstore. Very large collection. Staff are knowledgeable. Pro tip: if you need a book urgently, you can call ahead and they will save it for pickup later. Good collection of reading and writing accessories as well.
Nice place to sit and read or preview the books you want to buy. A good collection of books at good prices. A good toy section for kids too
Nice ambience and a big store. Systematically arranged into different sections. We get almost every book. They also Amazing games section. Wonderful and very thoughtful games in the store. Needs to be a more value for money, specially their membership card n black card.
Love the bookstore it has books on every topic. Have been going here for years and never a disappointment. The cafe upstairs is the perfect getaway from stressful life. Go ahead get that super coffee and curl up with a book.
Nice place to find all your favourite books
Large, well laid out bookstore with an excellent array of books. The staff were discreet, informed and helpful. The elderly man at the entrance - Sur (??) - took me under his wing, making sure I had everything I needed. He and the others were quite happy for me to sit in a corner and peruse through a whole number of books. I greatly appreciated that. (and I did buy some!).
All kinds of books in one place 😍. Heaven for book lovers
In a world where everything now is high tech this place is what everyone needs.. A place for kids to grown ups.. They have every book you need. you can also sit and read the book and then buy if you want. The kids range is awesome. They have creative activity section and toys too. Also on the 1st floor there is cafe so you can sip a coffee on the go.👍
Excellent collection of books. You name it they have it. Peaceful environment for reaching. Staff knowledge about books is excellent. Very helpful staff
Lack of staff.
Its ok
Good store taking care of complete hygine .
Best Bookshop in Mumbai, you can easily spend a couple of hours!
The ac wasnt working
Billing takes more time.
Good place for Book lovers, has a Great collection. But the only point of dislike is that the do not give any discount. Amazon price and their price it was a vast difference.
This is an amazing place. The store is big enough and it has separate section for kids, stationery etc as well. It has quite a nice collection of old and new books which one can buy. Overall I loved the store, really its one of the best crosswords i have ever visited!
Each and every book is there
Best and widest collection of books and mags for all ages
Good collection and offers. nice small cafe. Wish they had more comfy chairs. Nevertheless, it is a must visit for Voracious readers
Its ok
A great place for booklovers. The layout has improved in recent months and browsing is a more enjoyable experience. I particularly like it that they are quite happy for one to sit and browse through a bunch of books, to help you decide whether its your kind of read or not. Chairs are placed in a particular corner, as well as ends of some isles, where one can sit and read. Theres also a coffee shop in the mezzanine!
Amazing atmosphere & ambience.
Perfect Sunday Afternoon place to visit. Its been more than 10years i am visiting this bookstore in kemps corner. Best thing about this place is its decorum and space, they havent crowded the available area with all the books or bookshelves. You have ample space to move around and take a corner to go through pages of some of your new findings Without Anyone asking you for help!Liked that they have put up various other Non-books items but its worth the time i spend there.
Great place for bookworms. Love the ambience.I usually end up spending all day reading here.
Always brilliant
Wow so nice ....
This store of theirs is out favourite for several reasons. It is one of their oldest stores and also one of their biggest. They have a good selection of books, magazines, stationery and toys. There is lot of space around the staff are helpful. They also have a cafe on the first floor which many customers use. They have limited parking which is about the only disadvantage. Must go to place for book lovers.
Its my favorite store. The collection is amazing. They have a separate section devoted to the kids. Apart from books, it also has craft supplies, art supplies, school stuff, diaries, indoor plants, Disney clothes, toys, exclusive pens and room fresheners. The staff is helpful and courteous. The staff plans an interactive activity every now and then. Its very interesting for the kids.
Crossword is a well stocked book shop with a quiet restaurant on the mez floor. It also stocks children books, accessories and games. It also has reader gizmos including Amazon products
The ambience is just amazing! This place is for people who read or dont read, anyone can access this place! The environent is awesome. I love coming here even though i dont love reading.
The store is very nice but it so much expensive
Good store with a wide variety of books and friendly staff. Among the best places to get some new reads. ALSO they have a tiny graphic novel, comic and manga collection.
Nice place
