I love this trendy bookstore. They have wide selections and cafe inside where you can sit and enjoy. They also have a space for members like a reading room upstairs which I think is cool. Make sure to try their short story dispenser!

The floor-to-ceiling book wall and the tugged-in cafe and unique design reminds me of the bookstores in Seoul South Korea where bookstores are like art museums. The space is really artistic and with a great selection of books. Of course, they have nonfiction too.

Im so glad I found this wonderful bookshop. They have a pretty great selection of Fitzcarraldo Editions which is extremely difficult to find in the States. The folks working were helpful in navigating how to acquire the books I sought. A stellar experience all around 📚

I’ve visited The Center for Fiction for the Brooklyn Caribbean Literature Festival. Great event. Amazing staff. Stunning location. I then returned for a full tour and plan on becoming a member (less than $200 annually) to gain access to their writers rooms and other perks! Location is perfect and easily accessible. Extensive selection of books, and they also have a Caribbean section! Go visit!
