About Us

Daydreams began with a simple idea - that reading should feel like a pause in a busy world.

Our Story

Our shop is tucked away on Stewart Street in Milngavie, filled with shelves that invite you to slow down, browse, and discover something new. From new releases to second-hand favourites, every book is chosen with care.

We’ve always believed a good bookshop isn’t just a place to buy books – it’s a place to connect. A friendly chat about what you’re reading often leads to a great recommendation and a reason to come back.

Daydreams Bookshop Glasgow

Our Philosophy

At Daydreams, we keep things simple. Our shelves are filled with books we genuinely love, chosen for their ability to inspire, comfort, and spark curiosity. We champion local voices, independent publishers, and timeless stories that deserve to be read again and again.

We also care deeply about sustainability – our Second-Hand & Trade-In initiative gives great books another life. Bring back any Daydreams-embossed title for £1 credit towards your next read. It’s our way of making reading circular, not disposable.

Our Community Hub

When you step through our door, we hope you’ll feel instantly at home.
You’ll find a curated mix of new releases, pre-loved treasures, and gift ideas like vouchers and stationery – all chosen with care.

Our bookshop doubles as a community space too, hosting author talks, book clubs, and storytelling sessions that bring readers together. There’s always something happening, and always someone happy to talk books.

Who We Are

We’re a small team of readers, curators, and caffeine enthusiasts who believe that good stories build good communities. Whether you’re after a specific title or just browsing for inspiration, we’re here to help you find your next favourite book.

At Daydreams, we take pride in creating a welcoming space where conversations about books flow as easily as the coffee. We love matching readers to new authors, recommending local writers, and sharing the joy that comes from discovering something unexpected on the shelves.

A Space to Slow Down

At Daydreams, we believe in taking time for the things that matter – stories, people, and connection. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick browse or joining an evening event, our door is always open.
