Reviews

The housing works bookstore is phenomenal. Their selection of books is spot on at almost every category. However, the cafe attached is not entirely as great. Here’s why: (1) there are no open plugs for you to charge your electronics, (2) the service is unfriendly, and (3) the maintenance of the sitting space lacks attention. Again, great bookstore, not so great cafe.

A great selection of books at a bargain price. In addition to current books one can purchase timeless classics that have defined American culture. Don't forget to look at the books and have a conversation with friends over a cup of coffee or tea and snacks in the cafe. The store also hosts literary and community events. You can buy a book and get it signed at an author's reading. The proceeds help people with AIDS in need of housing and community support.

This bookshop is such a hidden gem. I didn’t know about it at all but my sister looked it up and it’s definitely worth visiting! First of all the layout is beautiful and makes you feel like your in beauty and the beast! #dreamcometrue. Second of all they have tons of books you can browse and find one you like and just sit and read! They have a balcony section and main floor. Best of all they also have a small coffee place in the main floor so you can stay and work or read for a while. Loved it!

I love this bookstore. It's run by a charity, staffed by volunteers and relies on donations. People donate their books and this charity sells them to raise funds. The bookstore is a real cool place to hang out. There is a coffee shop with plenty of tables in it. You can find some rare and out of print books in the shelves. They also hold book readings and music events to also raise funds. If you are in SOHO and need a place to get out of the sun, rain, snow and need a moment of sanity, then this is the place.

My wife Amy Werbel held a book launch party here for her new book, "Lust on Trial." It was the perfect location. The staff was incredibly helpful -- they sold books, tended bar, and assisted with technology issues. Highly recommended as an event space.
