About Jaffe & Neale Bookshop & Cafe

Jaffe & Neale Bookshop & Cafe is a fiercely independent bookshop in the centre of Chipping Norton, recommending books since 2001. Founded by Patrick Neale and Polly Jaffe, the business launched in West Street before moving to its current premises on Middle Row, overlooking the Market Square, in 2006. The shop stocks a wide range of fiction including classics, crime and thrillers, science fiction, fantasy and horror, graphic novels and poetry, alongside children's fiction, picture books and young adult titles. The non-fiction selection covers art, photography, biography and memoir, cookery, gardening, history and current affairs, local books and maps, music and film, nature and environment, psychology and wellbeing, reference, science and technology, sport and travel. There is also a curated range of greetings cards, journals and stationery. The café serves coffee and cakes, and the shop hosts regular events including author talks, book club meetings and book signings. A monthly newsletter keeps customers informed about forthcoming titles and events, and the dedicated team is always happy to recommend what to read next.
