The Chill Spot 🇯🇲📚 | Reading Party & Lunch
The Chill Spot is back — and this time, we’re taking over the whole spot. 🇯🇲
Join Paper & Soul for an afternoon of books, Jamaican food, good conversation and even better company at One Love Jamaican Kitchen.
Inspired by the Jamaican idea of a chill spot — somewhere you can slow down, kick back and feel at home — we’re bringing together 24 readers for a cozy afternoon centred around the things we love most: books, people and culture.
Come with whatever you’re currently reading. There’s no assigned book and nothing you need to finish beforehand. Whether you’re deep into a romance, fantasy, memoir, literary fiction, horror, nonfiction—or something completely different—bring your book and come as you are.
We’ll spend some time reading together, sharing what’s currently on our bookshelves, swapping recommendations, eating good Jamaican food and getting to know the people around us.
And yes, coming alone is completely normal. A lot of our community members do. 💛
WHAT TO EXPECT
📖 Intentional reading time
A chance to put the phone down, settle in and actually get some pages in.
💬 Table conversations
Easy prompts, current-read chats and plenty of opportunities to meet someone new.
🇯🇲 A taste of Jamaica in Tokyo
Enjoy authentic Jamaican food from One Love Jamaican Kitchen while experiencing a little piece of the culture behind The Chill Spot.
GOOD TO KNOW
There are 24 tickets available for this edition, and we’ll have the restaurant to ourselves.
Your ticket reserves your place at The Chill Spot. Food and drinks are purchased separately at the restaurant, and guests should purchase at least one food item and one drink during the event.
Please arrive on time so we can begin the experience together.
No assigned reading. No pressure to finish a book.
Just bring:
your current read + an appetite + yourself
Books. People. Culture.
See you at The Chill Spot 🌴📖
Refund Policy
Full refunds are available up to 7 days before the event. After this date, tickets are non-refundable, as your spot has been reserved and we want to ensure all seats at The Chill Spot are filled.
Thank you for understanding! 🤎
