Launched this winter, “Sense Bookstore on Khreshchatyk is special since it is located in the very heart of the capital and combines books, coffee, and a permanent event space for creating new senses. Unlike our first Sense Bookstore on Arsenalna Street, this one has three separate spaces for events, books, and coffee,” says the owner of the Sens chain, Oleksiy Erinchak.

Sense, or CEHO in Ukrainian, is situated in the very heart of the capital city. It houses more than 42,000 titles on three floors. The first floor features bestsellers, children’s literature, and a coffee shop. The ground floor is dedicated to bookshelves with fiction, non-fiction, and books in foreign languages (currently in English only), and the second floor is designed to host events.
