Great selection, great service. The guys who work here know their stuff. Impossible to leave without buying at least one LP.

I stumbled upon this used bookstore while looking for something to do as my cat got her dentist…read morevisit completed 2 blocks away. It's so lovely with a nice vibe. The music was at the perfect volume and it was very small and cozy. The espresso is terrible imo but the pumpkin cake makes up for it. I would love to come here again and I really admire the free book station outside. I wish I didn't live an hour and some change away or else I'd definitely come here again/ more often

Few things in this life get me off like a cozy independent book store. I romanticize tf out of…read moreplaces like Molasses Books. I felt like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, or William S. Burroughs when I was in here. It made me want to be in a white button down with the sleeves rolled up, tucked into some pinstripe suit pants, with some trendy glasses on while I rip away at a typewriter between puffs of a cigarette. Instead I was in short shorts and a plain white T smh. Shelves of thoroughly used books engulf the walls, smooth jazz plays subtly in the background, as the young patrons of Bushwick have intimate conversations. A lot of passion in here. A lot of freedom. I got an americano because I'm beast, and the espresso was quality. I knew I was in good hands when one of the Bushwick creatives was making it. Not much else I need in this life than a cozy book store and good espresso... well a couple hundred million would be nice too. Ig @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Such a warm, welcoming space! Love supporting woman-owned, Black owned businesses and this one…read morereally delivers on community & vibe. The staff was super attentive and friendly. They asked what we were curious about reading wise, gave some recommendations and walked us through their selection & upcoming events. And the playlist?! I was humming the second I walked in. Shoutout to whomever is curating the music They have a cute little menu with teas & coffees, and they partner with Sundays Only Biscuits. I tried the garlic and herb + peach cobbler. They were soft and delicious, garlic and herb was my fav! They also have a downstairs with a bar (I will be back for a glass of wine)! Def a spot I'll be coming back too!

I had been dreaming of going to this bookstore since they opened. On a mildly chilly day a friend…read moreand I decided to take a walk from Crown heights to bedstuy to check out this fairly new Black Woman owned bookstore. I love that it focuses on queer writers as well as writers of color. They had a great selection and I left 3 books later and had a delightful matcha latte and a mimosa. I intentionally have been supporting local businesses with a focus on Black and minority owned businesses. I'm excited to dive into these books during the colder months which tend to be my recluse season. They also serve brunch on weekends, have a ton of community events and talks. They also have a beautiful lounge downstairs where they serve wine after 5pm. They also have a really pretty outdoor area in the back but it was a little too chilly to sit back there and read. I can just imagine how great it'll be in the warmer months. I can just picture myself, perched on a seat, sipping on my matcha...and mimosa reading a good book! Check em out. Support a local business and spark the joy of reading again. With so much technology sometimes we lose the joy of reading and expanding our imagination!
