Welcome to The Chestnut Tree Bookshop & Café — a warm, community-focused haven in the heart of West Footscray.
Founded in 2021, we’re a proudly independent, woman-owned business that brings people together through a shared love of stories, good coffee, and thoughtful conversation. More than just a bookshop, The Chestnut Tree is a space where everyone is welcome. We offer a carefully curated selection of fiction and non-fiction, with a strong focus on voices that deserve to be heard — including authors of colour, women, and writers from migrant and refugee backgrounds. Whether you're here for a book club, an author talk, or just to find your next great read, you'll always find a friendly face and a welcoming space at The Chestnut Tree.
