About Nektar Bookcafe
Nektar is a quiet book café near Rruga e Kavajës, with shelves to browse, coffee, tea and simple snacks, and a calmer pace than the busy terraces of Blloku. It attracts students, writers and anyone who wants an hour to read or think, and you are welcome to pick a book from the shelves while you drink. It is a good refuge on a rainy afternoon or in the heat of the day. Ask the staff about readings and small events, which take place from time to time.
