The Barnes & Noble of Montreal!! I feel like good bookstores are hard to find nowadays with the internet and increasing amount of eReaders around. I have an eReader so in actuality there is no need for me to go to the bookstore. However, I find that I do like to be holding the hard copy of a novel in my hands and Indigo was the place to go!
Indigo had a wide range of book selections and obviously French books as well. The Indigo staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I overheard one of the staff talking to another customer recommending various books and I liked that she was very knowledgeable about her book factoids.
From the cafe you could enjoy a dessert and cup of coffee while reading a book or watching the busy street below. Overall, Indigo is a great place to go to browse through some books and to sit and enjoy a nice relaxing day.
