First of all they made me check my STROLLER. Umm, so I had no choice but to carry a 29 pound squirming toddler and I am quite OBVIOUSLY pregnant. Needless to say the visit was o...

Cozy 9/25/2006

The word to describe the cafe bookstore would be cozy. The staff consiste of vounteers and actually paid workers. The volunteers might not know everything but they do try their hardest to help and the cafe in the back is a nice touch to the place. the things are rather cheap and the people their friendly. The prices for the books aren't bad too not to mention they have bookfairs once a year with insane prices. Pros: quiet, friendly Cons: can't bring your bags in (bag check in) more

The best bookstore in NYC! 11/18/2005

At Housing Works Book Cafe you can browse, read, have a light meal or dessert, attend a reading or music event - and all the money you spend there goes to support homeless people with AIDS. The store is super relaxed, run almost completely by volunteers, and a great place to hang out. There are thousands of books, organized in the usual categories, at great discount prices - half of the retail or less. Also LPs and CDs and tapes and comics. I love this place! Pros: Great Selection, Relaxed atmosphere, Low prices more

Shhhhhh! 10/17/2005

Despite consistently disappointing latte's, I love this place. Keep it a secret.. a reviewer of another local spot put it right when they said ""...stay away if you are not from the neighborhood. We don't want you here."" more

Housing Works Used Book Cafe 1/1/2005

I love to spend hours here studying or reading, and once in a while, I find an interesting book. The selection isn't the greatest, but you can't beat the cause. The atmosphere is so cozy, although sometimes it's hard to find a seat. Pros: for a good cause, atmosphere more
