The Zall Bookstore 卓爾書店

Location: Orchard Road

The Zall Bookstore 卓爾書店 brings a unique concept to Wheelock Place, combining a Chinese bookstore, art gallery, and minimalist cafe across two levels of the mall. Located near where the defunct Borders flagship store once stood, Zall has created a cultural bridge connecting Chinese and overseas literary traditions, offering a curated space where book lovers can browse Chinese-language titles while enjoying coffee and pastries.

The bookstore mainly features Chinese-language books across an extensive range of genres, though it also maintains a decent selection of English titles to serve bilingual readers. The cafe component has gained attention as a hidden gem in Orchard, providing a peaceful retreat where shoppers can escape the mall bustle to read, work, or socialise over coffee. The multi-level layout allows for different zones - quieter areas for focused reading and more social spaces for gatherings.

What makes The Zall Bookstore special is its role as more than just a retail space. Since opening in February 2021 as Zall first overseas Chinese bookstore, it has hosted author talks, cultural events, and dialogue sessions that enrich Singapore literary scene. The minimalist aesthetic creates a calm, contemplative atmosphere that encourages lingering, while the strategic Orchard Road location makes Chinese literary culture accessible to shoppers who might not seek out specialised bookstores in more remote locations.
