Perfect for coffee and snack while lusting over their great collection
Great selection of design books and hard to find magazine titles.

The friendly cafe brews Stumptown, and uses a great soy milk.

FlorAugust 25, 2012Beautiful bookstore... you can find here exclusive HANDMADE books... how cool is that?
Trever PolakApril 28, 2016Good selection, but I don't think they sell any used books and thus it's far too expensive to buy anything.

Wayne SurberFebruary 12, 2014Cool bookshop with a cafe and .25 cent bathroom. Soho richy riches though.
My great love. If there is one place I could sit in forever in NYC, it is here.
Offers one of the most extensive collections of Spanish language books in Manhattan.
