Awesome bookstore/cafe. Situated in an area of Jersey City that shuts down on certain days of the week to allow for street festivals, this shop is the perfect place to walk in, grab a book, a coffee, and a snack, and then head outside to a table to enjoy your read while soaking in some local live music. Very clean and well-organized, and the staff is incredibly kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. They often host local and famous authors for signing events and Q&As, so be sure to check those out as well. A real breath of fresh air.

This place is ingenious! Food and books, two excellent things in life that can and should be enjoyed together. Not only that but they have a wonderfully eclectic selection of both, you can easily stumble upon treasures around every corner. Vegan and gluten free options abound with a myriad selection of local, interesting desserts. Walked in on an event they were hosting which gives the place an even more awesome vibe. Amazing spot in the neighborhood ♡

I was a little hesitant when they showed up all fancy from BK on Newark ave but these people are Mega-Lovely!! Fun selections, great recommendations, and most importantly sweet people devoted to JC. Everyone is generally chatty and friendly in a way I wish people at the strand were. P.S. thanks be to whomever recommended Age of Wonder by Richard Holmes it blew my mind - recommend me more like that/marry me!

Every negative review you read about this store is completely false. Dont let the 4.5 fool you as I can say for myself that this is an absolute 5. Great service, lots of books (Got Game of Thrones and Clash of Kings from George R. R. Martin), super friendly employees and a its locates in a nice area. If you are in the area I would deeply reccomend going to this one. Jasser Dominguez.

Cool place cool books exceptional location bad part if you are not (and I repeat) not a downtown yuppie you are treated differently. Like you do not belong in their little bookstore or even worse like in their universe! Again social skills and personal interactions are a must for any businesses to survive!

Would like a better hang/chill space for coffee and eats. Suppose they dont want coffee/computer squaters because the space is smaller. Otherwise great little book store, super nice people.

2 thumbs up and a toe! Always go there. Events daily and great books and cafe. The only problem is lack of seats. Other than that, I go there whenever I got free time!
