Maple Ridge's newest used book store with a unique twist! We are also a tea and coffee store. While you browse our book selections, take a break with a cup of tea from our choice of over 60 different loose-leaf teas that will arouse your senses.
Bean Around Books & Tea is about much more than its eclectic library of used books and wide assortment of tea and coffees. Dan Ruimy opened up his dream café in 2011 after spending years travelling around the world for his corporate job. "I spent my life living out of hotels and suitcases," he recalls. "It was time to settle down and see if I could get attached to a community."
As it turned out, Dan did more than attach himself to a community. He created a place where the people of Maple Ridge can come together and, according to Dan, share conversations about everything from "politics to zombies, and back to politics."
A few weeks ago I found a new bookstore on lougheed highway beside the smile Thai restaurant.
I went in looking for two specific sets of books. Both of these sets have been difficult for me to collect. so he pulls half the books off the shelves for me and a week later; he lets me know he has found the rest for me.
I love my other two regular stores, but was thrilled to have my work completed for me.
They have a great feel to the store and have an awesome detox tea in their collection. it's worth going in just to smell the different tea blends.
If you turn at benjamin moore paints and drive behind to the end you will see a litte yellow building and that is your destination. Good parking off the lougheed.
Enjoy.
