About this business

Most of the Molasses' collection is composed of used books and covers a myriad of topics with no specific focus. Visitors can grab a coffee or even beer and wine from the store's selection. There are regular literary events and meets as well. The idea of creating a casual place to rummage through books, rather than a serious book-only establishment has made it a popular choice for those in the area.

Super cute place with lots of interesting books. Be aware cafe seating is limited and no wifi at night.

Molasses is my favorite daytime work place surrounded by second hand books for sale in Bushwick. Come for a filter coffee or grab a beer or a glass of wine. Read, work, chill, enjoy!

Great little book store, great little cafe, great little bar. Quiet during the day, happening later on in the evening.

Cute little place where you can read while you have beer or wine but be careful - you'll have to carry those books all the way home so don't get carried away!

Good, eclectic selection. You can trade books in for store credit, but you don't get full or partial price for it. They also sell beer. It's a pretty hole in the wall place on a residential street.
