Specialties
Sappho is a second-hand bookshop specializing in humanities. The café set in the lovely leafy courtyard out the back is a coffee specialist with a fantastic custom roast from Toby’s Estate. At night it is transformed into a funky and intimate wine and tapas bar with a great artisan beer list and interesting wine list. Sappho regularly has live music… carefully chosen great music — but ambient enough to encourage good conversation.
History
Established in 1996.
Sappho was originally housed further up Glebe Point Road, but moved in 2003 to what was the old deserted Glebe Youth Center. It was totally derelict then but has had a remarkable transformation and now has a lovely leafy garden set against the original highly graffitied was — a legacy from it’s past. The building is turn of the century and a wonderful warm character that you only find in old buildings. In May 2009 the wine & Tapas bar was launched, the first bookshop-Wine Bar in Australia!
