They serve drinks but no food, due to losing their food distribution license during COVID. Jerry's is right across the street though and they allow outside food into the bookstore. There is a few nice tables in front of the cafe, and then a cozy nook with armchairs to read at. The bookstore itself is well stocked with all types of books. There isn't a huge diversity of books in my opinion, but a lot of YA fiction, more popular/recent books, and a good sized chunk for romance (heated rivalry, Ali Hazelwood books, etc.) There is a small comic books section, yoga/cookbooks section, puzzlebooks section, etc. The selection is a little more curated than you would find at a Barnes and nobles for instance, and I think it's skewed more toward fiction. John Green wrote Looking for Alaska in this bookstore! I really liked the little placards placed by many of the books, so you can really feel like you're getting personal recs from bookstore workers. The employees were chill and super kind. There are also two single stall bathrooms available. We chilled for many hours in the nook with no problems. I loved the books I found and ended up purchasing two, in addition to a few cute souvenirs. Lincoln square is also a great area to wander around!

Mind where you walk and sit, many books are haphazardly piled in aisles and against shelves so you will have to move items, lamps etc in sections of the shop.

Old books, too many piles to clean around and strong incense equals poor air quality.
