This place is a fantastic bookstore! Housing Works Bookstore has a large selection of book across two floors! It's great to walk around and explore the bookshelves. This spot also has a coffee ☕ shop inside! Ambience is fantastic and the staff is very welcoming and nice! I wish I came here more often! …

As soon as you walk in you're greeted by the smell of exquisite coffee, surrounded by artifacts and incredible books. There is even a thrifty surprise up one flight of stairs! I was especially surprised to see this was a nonprofit establishment that was advocating for the H.I.V community! What an amazing place …

The place looks beautiful and the staff is nice. The coffee was okay. On the second floor there was a selection of clothes you can purchase. For me this place was fun to visit but I doubt I will go there again. They had an old vinyl collection and some crystal available which was probably my favorite part.

Such a great local independent bookstore that feels like home. Though used, the books are in really good condition and some are very much new. I think the prices are fair though if you want much cheaper used books, there are other places

Great book selection and nice vibes BUT their sale signs are very misleading/incorrect. This sign was outside the store today and when I went to checkout the guy said “oh that doesn’t start today” and wouldn’t honor it and seemed very

I have a soft spot for bookstore cafés and this is one of the better ones. On a quiet side street I feel like it's one of my "secret"spots in NYC. I always spend a couple hours perusing and having coffee. The atmosphere is so chill.

What a great little find in NYC. A quiet little nook in the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff are friendly, the books are in mint condition and the prices beat everything else.

Immediate yes. The coffee is great and the bookstore just has a great vibe. Cool art on the walls. Great place for unique souvenirs or a special new book.
