I had been wanting to go to Bibliotheque for a while but never had the opportunity to go. Once my friend invited me and offered to meet here as one of the locations, I knew I had to go try it out. I really liked the vibes here. There was a quiet bookshop in the back where people were working and a small area in the front where you could chat. We had the orange mocha and a latte and both were really good but I LOVED the orange mocha. I'm really still thinking about it! I will be back as soon as I can, would highly recommend for coffee and atmosphere. read more

Went in at 1:30pm on a Sunday. I ordered the chilled frappato ($17). It was bustling on a Sunday afternoon yet still quiet enough to work. WiFi access for 90 minutes. Laptops allowed from 10-5. Plenty of bar space, comfy couch area in the back. Order at the counter. Quick service once you actually get a chance to order. Stayed for 1.5 hours. read more

Great library/book store themed wine bar with terrific selection of wines, cheeses, & meats. You can also buy a new or used book to take with you. Service was prompt, attentive, and knowledgeable. Ask about the interactive art exhibit and be sure to see the clock change. read more

The interior was beautiful, and the coffee appears to cost between $7-10 depending on what specialty drinks you get. For that price, and the fact that they've advertised as a place to get work done, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of seating, lack of working outlets, and 90 minute cap on wifi--especially considering the steep price of the coffee. worth going for the experience, but likely wouldn't come back read more

Super gorgeous and comfy cafe in the heart of SoHo! Really great variety of drinks and pastries. It does get full fairly quickly but the turnover is quite fast. read more

The coziest place in manhattan to catch up with a friend, get some work done, or just read a good book. Feels like you transport into a different place walking in! Especially love their excellent wine selection - I'd stay here from morning to night if I could! read more

What a very cool concept of a place. Bar/ bookstore/coffee shop. I just heard they opened 3 weeks ago. Very friendly staff! There are couches/ tables in back. Great place to do work/ read, catch up with friends. It's in a great area of Soho. I am so glad I found this place through an Instagram ad this morning. If you are in the area I deff recommend you to stop in. The atmosphere of this cute spot is awesome. Very chill. The bar area is very nice. There is seating for about 13-14 people and a plus is that they have many outlets under the bar for those who want to use their laptops at the bar. They have a few food and pastry options. I got a decaf Iced Latte which is pretty tasty. I will be back here and bring my friends here. read more

This place is new but yet when my friend and I went it was sooo packed!! It was a cold Saturday afternoon so lots of people were seated at the front near the bar, and then the back is filled people doing work in the back. I will say if you do need to get serious work done, I would suggest a quieter place or some noise-cancelling headphones because it gets super loud - there were groups of people standing and talking when they didn't find a chair, so it became almost like a louder bar than a coffee shop type vibe. The decor is gorgeous too (ladders to get up the rows of books also)! You order at the bar for any food or beverages (it did make it difficult if you do not know that when you first walk-in, if you grab a chair and you're solo you'd have to give up your seat to order) and wait for it to bring it back to your spot. I really like the concept of people being able to read a book when they come in, or have the option to order either wine or coffee. The seating is first come first serve until 5PM, where they take reservations, so if you did want to come back I'd suggest making a reservation! Overall, I really liked it and think the concept is innovative. I ordered a matcha latte and appreciated that the matcha was strong and not too grassy tasting and was high quality! Great start so far!! read more

I visited on a rainy Sunday around 5:30 and it was decently busy. This place is a cute idea with books surrounding the lounge area but I don't feel like anyone would actually pick up books like a bookstore/library and read them at their seat. It's also way smaller than you'd think and I was told I couldn't sit in the lounge area because they had to leave room for future reservations even though when I looked online, there were plenty of open reservations. I assumed it would be more speakeasy-equestrian but the floor plan was pretty open with just a wall of wine separating the front cafe area and the lounge. My friend and I sat at the front bar and just chatted and I just got their blueberry basil limeade which was good and not too sweet. The noise level wasn't too terrible and it's a good place to have a conversation with someone but it was a little overhyped on social media. read more

I almost hate to admit how cool this place is. It's awesome. Wanted to knock it down to 3 stars because they ran out of drip coffee. But that's the addict talking. Good luck finding a seat, but if you are one of the few, it's a 5-star ambience. read more

This was a fun place to visit, but the vibe was very different from what I expected from the way it's marketed. I saw a ton of posts (including by Bibliotheque) advertising it as basically a bookstore/library meets wine bar, and it is absolutely beautifully designed inside- the back area is large but cozy, absolutely stacked with books of all genres. However, we went at night and it was LOUD and much more of a party vibe than I expected- like, Vengaboys playing while every table was talking kind of vibe. Just not exactly what I think of when a place is described the way Bibliotheque is. We didn't go during the day, so maybe it's a bit different then, but it was kind of a surprise at night. The wine selection was also a bit small for a place that's advertised as a wine bar, although the wines we had were good (especially the Albariño). I found the way it's described online to be a bit confusing, but basically, when you get there, there's a front area that looks like a normal bar with some additional tables, which I think is for walk ins. The reservations online are for the back lounge (which is the area with tons of books you see online). We got numerous messages that we had to order both food and beverages if we sat there, so we had a cheese board with our wine that was excellent- it came with the most delicious toasted bread, fig jam, mustard, two cheeses (I think a cheddar and Gouda), and two meats (mortadella and chorizo). They also gave us extra bread when we asked for it with no charge, which we appreciated. We had excellent service during our visit, too. ETA I appreciate the owner's quick and informative response to my review! We hadn't seen the wine bottle list, only the regular menu, and did come on a Saturday night, which I'm not surprised is a lot busier- the music definitely encouraged a more lively atmosphere, though. read more

A bookstore/cafe/wine shop?? Genius idea! My husband and I ordered a cheese board and a sandwich. Although the sandwich never made it to our table, we decided to forgo the sandwich because the cheese board and wine were just perfect (and this place is slightly on the more expensive side). Our wonderful waiter Micah recommended some wines and we just enjoyed a glass of chilled red Frappato for me and an Orange Pinot Gris blend for Marc. We read our books and had a really nice evening together. read more

Only just recently I'd discovered a similar book store/bar concept in East Village, then along comes Bibliothèque. I may only come here now. It's stunning, clean, beautifully designed and truly feels like a mini reading haven. I went on a Sunday early afternoon and luckily snagged a free couch. Ordered a pot of tea, Riesling, oat latte and almond croissant. I love that they warm the almond croissant!! I'd never thought to have it this way and now feel that every bakery/boulangerie should do this. I also love that pastries and drinks are served on dinnerware. It makes such a difference. I came back on a weekday early evening and got a seat at the counter as the lounge is reserved for reservations. Tried the grilled cheese and it was yummy. The vibe at Bibliothèque is a warm, chill elevated feel and the offerings don't disappoint. I'll have to come back one evening to exclusively try the wine bar. So happy Bibliothèque is here. read more

Easily one of the best, most vibey coffee shops in all of NYC. I'd had this place bookmarked for a while, but never went out of my way check it out. I just happened to stumble upon it one random Sunday afternoon, and am so glad I did. For such a beautiful coffee shop with a beautiful seating area/bookstore in the back, it was surprisingly relaxed and not too hectic in the middle of the day. The coffee and tea drinks are priced at about what you would expect from any coffee shop in the area, and made well. My matcha was a tad gritty, but not offensively so, and still very tasty. read more

Cute little spot for drinks in the Soho area. I came for happy hour and there were only a few people inside - they wouldn't let us sit in the back room where all the photos are from unless we ordered food with our drinks. The vibe is chill with books surrounding the whole room and a chandelier in the middle of the room. I haven't been during the day, but apparently this place turns into a cafe where you can bring laptops and work from. Nice unique spot to come to! read more

Solid spot to get some work done or catch up with a friend! We came on a Friday morning to get through our morning work, and the cafe was pretty empty ~10 AM. Seats are super comfy in a really nice library-esque interior, with minimal music, so made for a good environment to focus. WiFi + an open water dispenser! The coffee was also good. Nothing crazy, but a pretty typical cortado. Definitely more on the milkier side that I typically want! Will definitely be back if in the area, if simply because of how nice the interior is! read more

Loved the ambiance! Service was great if slightly slow. Went mostly for the vibes and wine.

OMG bibliotheque is my new favorite place EVER. I went for dinner (which maybe I'd recommend just drinks the sandwich was okay) but I loved this place so much. Such a vibe. It felt so elegant and classy and I loved being surrounded by books. I would die to come here and just read and sip on a glass of wine. I didn't love my sandwich because I thought the bread was a little too hard on the caprese but the rest was still delicious and bibliotheque doesn't necessarily market themselves as a restaurant. The morir soñando was absolutely delicious. I usually don't like spending $18 on a cocktail but this one was so yummy. I'm coming back here 100%. read more

Loved this viral coffee shop. Was Able to snag a comfy seat in the corner and read but also ppl watch.

Reasonable prices for soho manhattan but the servers and vibes were really cool and welcoming. Can't wait to come back at night for a glass of wine and some reading read more

Dark and moody and cozy all at the same time. Lots of books all around the bar and seating area to look at/buy including blind date books. Some people came with friends and others were there solo to read. The wine was great (a little pricey but not bad for the quality). Loved the orange wine I had. Great place to just chat with a friend. The hostess was also very friendly and talked with us about books for a bit. read more

Such a cute cafe! I got a pain au chocolate which was delicious and they served it warm. The bar area is super cool but the back room is the best. It's got all of the bookshelves and amazing chandeliers and beautiful ceilings. I went on a Thursday at 2pm and there was room to sit! Would definitely recommend come here for a cute place to work. I'm sure it's a vibe at night when it turns into a bar as well. read more

Cafe hours are popular but you can make reservations for dinner hours at @bibliothequenyc after 5pm. This bookshop is a cafe in the day and wine bar at night. Not too many books but it's a nice selection to pick one home. The food and drinks exceeded my expectations too. What a great little gem with nice vibes to catch up with friends. Would love to go back! read more

The concept of a bookstore with wine is just amazing. This place must be new because it was like THE place to be on a Sunday afternoon. The seats are all first come first serve. I had hoped to find a spot in the back amongst the books but the influencers were running wild in there. So I snagged a spot up front to read for a while and enjoy a glass of wine. The staff was so friendly and attentive, the cab franc I tried was delicious and not too expensive and the bathrooms were super clean. read more

Cool spot if you want to chill, read a book, have a glass of wine. Very relaxing. Can get a bit busy at times. But if you go during down time it's perfect to have quiet time to read. Went here very late one night for a glass of wine with a friend. The service was great as we had the manager/owner introduce us to a delicious red wine. Great spot to pop in an just have a chill moment. read more

Vibes on vibes! I was very fortunate to be able to do an engagement shoot here, in which the owner was so generous and kind to let us come before store hours to enjoy some coffee and get pictures in. The back of the coffee shop has books for browsing and purchase, giving away beauty and the beast flashbacks. The front of the coffee shop has more casual seating, with bar seating in front of the barista. Beautiful interior with fun interactive art (please check out the piece in front of the barista!). I had a latte which was nice and strong, and gave me the pick me up i needed for my early morning. Will definitely be back for wine as this shop is so stunning and staff are so lovely. read more

Love this place! It looks amazing and has a great vibe. It's the perfect spot to spend the day--work from here while enjoying a good coffee. As a bar, it's a really cool concept. I do wish they had a wider variety of cocktails and drinks, but it's definitely a place worth visiting! read more

The atmosphere and concept were really cool, but the experience was horrible. Six of us got a table in the back and were told AFTER we sat and ordered a few drinks that everyone also had to order food in order to sit in the back. When we said no one told us that before we accepted that table, and tried to order a few more shareable dishes to compromise, we were spoken down to, forced to order more food, and complained at because "we weren't even drinking" because we ordered mocktails and tea instead of wine. Two girls of the group are sober, and it was completely inappropriate. Will not be coming back. read more
