A small book shop located on the sea front at sliema.
The book selection is minimal, however, the book shop hosts a delightful bakery. The pastries there are very good. The arancini is probably the best I've ever eating and at a very low cost.
The cafe makes a perfect breakfast or lunch stop, whilst on the seafront.

Bookbites was right next door to our hotel so it was great to call in here after a day of sightseeing and have a lovely coffee and one of the delightful cakes.
Try the sinizza which is delicious.

Ordered a cheese burger and got a cold, microwaved and half raw burger. When I sent it back they reheated THE SAME burger that I had already bitten into and put it back on my table. Out of words, do not ever eat here!

If you don't have much time to wait better to avoid this place. Also they will prepare your order first but only then will tell you they don't have lids

Coffee and books is usually a good combination. This coffee shop has a nice terrace close to the sea from where you can enjoy a coffee and read a book you've bought in the store.

The food was excellent and so affordable. We liked their lattes and sweet treats but their sandwiches were also large and filling. We went there often

Rich beautiful hot chocolate and gorgeous cake what more do you want in the afternoon. The place is obviously popular with locals and tourists including children. Nice vibe can only comment on cakes.
