There's nothing like a nice cup of java while sitting outside reading one of Cafe Con Libros extraordinary books.

Awesome book selection, great organization, friendly staff. Too many books I want to read here!!!

Loved this cute space.

Great feminist books, clean, cozy, well organized space. Try the cortado! It’s delicious, friendly barista

Their website is easy to navigate and they have a great selection of books! I'm inspired by their mission as well.

They have books written by women displayed on the walls. The cafe has a chill vibe and great customer service

Excellent customer service. I made a mistake on my online subscription order and they helped me over email right away.

The best almond croissants

Bought some children’s books today. Didn’t have a clue and the staff helped out. Great selections. Will definitely be back.

Became our favorite cafe in Brooklyn! A cozy lovely place with great coffee, pastries, interesting books and wonderful friendly owners. Highly recommend!

Favorite local bookshop and coffee spot! Always happy to browse and get a drink here. You can also special order books to pickup !

Friendly store with an amazing selection of feminist, latinx, lgbtq+, black books, adult and children. Also, their coffee selection and bakery goods are excellent.

Great service, CoVID responsible and an important business in this neighbor. The selection of books are great and culturally relevant. I love that the adult and kids sections are both flourishing.

Great little gem with super warm staff. Quite small but the outdoor seating is nice!

Beautiful, friendly space with a monthly book club and great selection. James is so kind and makes the best cup of coffee in Crown Heights.

Super cozy cafe with books. Listed as a feminist bookstore, great selection of books to empower our youth. They host events with authors so keep an eye out.

Black/Latina owned Feminist bookstore combined with cute little coffeeshop. Coffee is good, books are well curated, and the community is a good one to be a part of!

Very empowering and unique coffee shop. What a nice combination of coffee and books. Very sweet owner and nice vibe.

I love this bookstore & the owner is awesome. It's a cozy space filled with good energy. I love what this bookstore stands for and they host many engaging community events.

I love this place. The coffee is delicious, the books are incredible, but the people are the best part. Come visit!

I never post reviews, but have to share—this is one of those rare bookstores that feels energizing in a magical kind of way. Immaculately curated with truly lovely staff.

this cafe and bookstore is spectacular! the coffee is good, the people working there are kind and helpful, and the book choices are incredible

One of the best chai tea lattes I’ve ever had and great book selection. Atmosphere is welcoming and community focused.

Wonderful Black owned business in Crown Heights. Great choice, fantastic book selection, cute space. This is a very special bookstore.

Absolutely lovely in every way 🥰

Met my expectations. Very straightforward process.

Coffee is delicious, staff is very kind and attentive. Their COVID precautions were also very appreciated, I look forward to coming back regularly

Super cute little coffee shop with lots of books from authors around the world, focusing on black and indigenous authors.

Lovely coffee shop, quiet, kind staff, well-curated book selection. A great addition to the neighborhood.

Fantastic place. Great curated selection of books, friendly staff, excellent coffee. I only wish they had more seating, but when I went there on a weekday morning I was able to get one of the two outdoor tables without a problem.

Absolute gem of a bookstore/ coffee shop. Such an amazing selection of feminist, black and POC books, excellent coffee and warm and welcoming community space.

Café + bookstore supporting writers from Latin America. There’s a restroom and a few seats both inside and outside the cafe. The cafe owner/barista is a very nice lady!

A bit of a disheveled (or dis-shelf-veled ;) mess visually but an incredible wealth of really great titles and authors. So many books that should be sold everywhere but never end up in mainstream bookstores. So worth the trip. Staff is very helpful and kind. Ordering online and going the delivery route is very easy. Supporting a Black-owned and woman-owned business has never been easier or more enjoyable. They also do a lot of engaging work in and with the community. Check out their website.

A great neighborhood spot with local passion and wonderful books. They often post new bookshop-related and personal updates on the blog, which I look forward to reading. They’ve also added ebooks and Bookshop during summer 2020. Communication on their website is clear - if you have questions check there first! There was some delay with a book I ordered but that’s to be expected and they handled everything graciously and with good communication.

Café con Libros is such a beloved gem. When they first opened I fell so in love with it and worried that its location might lead to its demise - but it is so special that I needn’t have worried. It fills so many needs and I am just grateful for its existence. It is a real gift to our community.

A gem in town. Hard to stop oneself from buying and buying more books here! Great coffee too. Wish they had more tables to spend the morning reading there. Also hope they bring more Latin American authors in translation!

I ordered a specialty book from their online shop. I couldn't find it anywhere else and the book was delivered quickly, even with a pandemic going on and a sudden but well deserved uptick in business. All the communication was clear and easy, often answering my questions before I thought to ask them!. Honestly, Cafe con Libros is one of the only one business who's emails I look forward to reading. Very much looking forward to getting to go to the shop in person!

Nice staff! Great for a drink & a book! ☕

Was recommended this spot by the LitSociety podcast. Great matcha! Also, I am always searching for reads that resonate with my latine experience. I was exited to see the rich book selection of not only the latin diaspora, but Asian, African, and Caribbean. The barista was friendly and helpful.

This is simply the best coffee shop. Wonderful staff, great coffee and pastries and an abundance of books to choose from. I go here multiple times a week and it's terrific every time.

Amazing!!!! Bookstore band coffee shop. Such a cute vibe, dope selection and the owners are there, involved and care about the customers. First time there today and really fell in love with it. The perfect place to get lost in your weekend read.

Feminists place and bookshop from the beginning. very nice espresso. just find out that so called feminists still wait some man buy them coffee and therefore, it does not generate income at all. which was very sorry because the coffee is really very tasty, so the feminist component was removed by the owners and now it's just a very good café with a library, the library is still feminist

Came here for the book signing of Successful Failures by Kevin Fredericks

Amazing spot, great vibes and even greater people. Walked away with entirely too many books 😅

Cafe con Libros is one of my neighborhood favorites! Always love walking there for a coffee and to browse the books. I bought a book for my niece last time I was there and it was the perfect present. Love supporting this community space :)

Cafe con Libros is a quaint, cozy Cafe/ bookstore. Where people come to order their Java and read interesting books. While sitting outside in front of the bookstore enjoying the morning breeze. They also have a book club. A beautiful tribute to the communit.📚

I ordered a few books from Cafe con Libros in hopes of supporting a local business owned by a BIPOC. It took a little while for my orders to arrive (not their fault but the wholesalers I would assume) but they were super communicative and transparent about order and shipping times throughout the entire wait. I’ll definitely be ordering from them and can’t wait to visit their location!

Anything and everything I want to study, learn read about WOC and queers of color. And if they dont got it they can order it. And the book club subscription, yooooo, the stories are amazing, the writing is eloquent, and everything on the list is fantastic. Ive gifted a few when I run outta time to read everything. But I give it my best shot and the owner is brilliant. Everything about her exudes community in sharing books.

This business is a dream—walked in, sipped on a delicious oat latte, and got into a discussion on gatekeeping in the publishing/book industry, community-building, and the queering of genres with the owner who might be the coolest person I’ve ever met. I will be spending all of my time and money here whenever I can.

5 STARS! Cozy, eclectic space with warm and friendly staff and customers. It can in today to knock out some emails. Sitting in the window seat felt like nestling up at a chill friend's house while they're doing their own thing. I'll be back. :)

So grateful for this spot existing! Really appreciate the way books are labeled by theme (misogynoir, disability justice, ect) and the bookseller/barista is excellent: simultaneously warm and professional, a gracious presence. The coffee was perfect.

It’s a super cute coffee shop combined with a bookstore with a very nicely curated selection. Highly recommend.

Loved how cute and cozy this bookstore was, was just a room basically but it has a batista/coffee and lots of books!

Love café con Libros, the coffee is delicious, the staff are courteous and amiable, and supporting a local Afro-Latinx, Black, Feminist owned and themed bookstore is everything! ¡Pa' lante!

The person working there was super kind and helpful! This is a cute little bookstore with wonderful finds from a variety of female authors with an assortment of genres. The store is a bit small with minimal outdoor seating. I got a latte and it was good! Would absolutely recommend!!

Great vibe, great place. Good selection of books and great coffee. Would highly recommend it if you're in the area.

Love this shop! Great selection of books and yummy drinks. When visiting, I enjoyed a latte, bought the cutest totes, and had the joy of meeting the owner! It felt like meeting family. Will definitely be back next time I am in Brooklyn!

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! It is a little quaint coffee shop that serves spectacular espresso. I have tried most of the drinks and never was disappointed. The coffee is very fresh and the cappuccino is similar to Joe's in grand central. It looks like a decent place to meet friends over coffee. Also, the service is quick enough if you need to grab a quick drink on the go.

Absolutely adorable. I had an amazing latte with almond milk that was steamed perfectly. Great spot for a coffee and a read.

I would give it 10 stars if I could. Great coffee and selection of books. Nice seating out front where you can read and enjoy your drink and pastry.

love it here! great book selection and good spot to get a quick cup

Attending a book reading there was how I learned about this store. I first met the owners, who are friendly and welcoming, and after that I hosted a number of my own neighborhood activities there. They create a fantastic chai latte and are accommodating and helpful. It's a terrific, inexpensive spot to hire for a small event, perfect for kids, and has a large selection of worthwhile items to browse and buy. awaiting my upcoming visit!

Great selection of books! Though they were out of the book I wanted, I was easily able to order it through them. I also had a delicious matcha and a pastry.

A small bookstore with a great atmosphere only wish it was bigger good thing is books can be ordered also remember coffee and danish are sold there

Madison

Amazing coffee and I love the selection and ambiance of this shop so much

Omar Yousaf

Amazing coffee - best I’ve had in BK!

Ms. Maylor

I’ve never had the food (but I’m sure it’d be amazing!). The coffee on the other hand is great! I’ve been coming here for over 7 years. I have a standing Sunday appointment with my little sister (when I’m in town). I highly recommend!!! I want to give a special shoutout to Joshie & Ell who make the experience even better by being awesome baristas.

Christianah

Love the entire premise of this place! Black, Feminist Bookstore. Intentionally dedicated a day to travel here from Manhattan. Unfortunately, they didn’t have many books in Spanish but I did purchase one their tote bags, which I loveeeee 😍

Justin Vega

I visited Café Con Libros a few weeks ago, and it left such a lasting impression! The staff was super nice, Arman was super, he recommended us some of his favorite spots in the city. The ambiance was incredible, my friends and I loved it.

Hayes

God I love it here. Always finding books for myself & friends, picking up a coffee & snacky while I’m at it. 10/10

Ferdinanda Nichols

I have not had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Con Libros. However, this morning I placed a call for help with an order for a particular book and was connected to Sage(sp). The service was immediately caring, patient, professional and set the bar for what to expect when interacting with a professional. And while the book was not available at the location, I plan to make it a point to visit Cafe Con Libros based on the lovely and memorable service I received dyeing my call. To all that have the opportunity to read this review, and you are deciding whether to give this spot a visit, I encourage you to do so. Thank you, again, Sage and thank you to the team for hiring such great associates to represent your business! Peace, light, laughter and balance ❤️

I was on a quest to find a wedding book gift for a dear friend, and I was determined to choose wisely where to spend my hard-earned dollars. Then, I stumbled upon a gem thanks to Yelp: Cafe Con Libros! From the moment I approached, the curbside atmosphere and adorable tables and benches drew me in. But what truly touched my heart was the powerful message above the entrance: "Black, Feminist & Bookish." It resonated with me on so many levels! I thought to myself, even if they didn't have the exact book I wanted, I was definitely leaving with something special from this amazing place.

Lydia Birnbaum

Amazing selection of books by women+enby authors. I take everyone who visits me in NYC here because it’s truly a gem and we have to support places like this!! Workers are always so nice and helpful :)

Natalia Cruz

As a Panamanian I love coming here when I'm in this part of Brooklyn. It's not very big, but they have an amazing book selection and friendly staff. The drinks are pretty good, I like the coffee. Plus, they have an active Instagram account, so you can be updated on cool literary events in the city.

Simone H

Warm and cozy cafe that played relaxing music. I love how the books showcase the intersectionality of all the authors. I left with a latte and a new thriller book.

The absolute cutest bookstore/coffee tea shop! I went for an author book signing and it was adorable. It is very small but definitely mighty. There are so many great books in this little shop. I’m glad Kim Guerra had her book event there because now I have discovered another great little shop to visit.

Amazing, cute and well sorted bookshop with lovely coffee. I would like to go here every day for the rest of my life!

Nico Pelaez

Afro-Latinx owned, feminist-queer curated, beautiful book store with great coffee. The vibes are immaculate! Personnel was super nice and helpful, definitively recommend to visit specially now during fall.

Nick Barrett

A friendly inclusive place that pairs delicious coffee with a great book selection. This black owned feminist cafe book store is exactly the stop you are looking for. The staff are friendly and engaging. The pastries are tasty and fresh. Overall, I highly recommend it.

Kate Alison Photo

I first discovered this shop by attending a book reading there. After connecting with the owners, who are warm and welcoming, I then hosted several of my own community events in their space. They are accommodating, helpful, and make a delicious chai latte! It's a great, affordable place to rent for a small gathering, good for children, and have a wide variety of valuable material to peruse and purchase. Looking forward to my next visit!

Thanksgiving is just a couple of days away, and then Christmas is coming. It’s the time to get cozy, and Café con Libros comes to my mind; I love their coffee, the matcha tea, and the carrot muffin, all the muffins to be exact :p Besides, it’s always nice to hear neighbors and costumers greeting each other. I truly value their atmosphere. The mornings are magical to get some work done and relax. Prices are great. Books curation it’s outstanding, they have every single book that I heard you “must-read” if you consider yourself a feminist. Plus, as an artist that is showcasing her work there, the communication and expectation have been great. I highly recommend Café con Libros, supporting small, independent and feminist bookstore it’s the best gift that you can give to yourself.

K Stone

POC women owned coffee shop/well curated feminist book store. It has cozy seating for 14 people. Amazing book selections ranging from liberal feminism to radical feminism and plenty of children’s books. Friendly, cozy, and welcoming. My new go-to for coffee dates.

Cute little cafe with books. Good collection of books indeed. Workers are so friendly here.

I honestly didn't know this was the name of your shop until Google send. Really good coffee ,happy staff.

A cute cafe with some incredible books and great service.

Cynthia Tuck

It's a cute shop. Smaller than I thought. I thought I would be able to sit and chill but they have benches outside and like 1 table. Super cute though, friendly staff. Just very tiny.

Sandy

Love the vibe and atmosphere of this place! Amazing collection of books, and have lots of ways to support the community, and good coffee. A few tables outside for seating.

Walked over there Sunday as website stated "open 9-5" on Sunday. It was definitely CLOSED. Need to update your info CcL

Sought out the space specifically because it was owned by Panamanians...however, I found reception was chilled and felt they were less comfortable with people of color. They do however make a great cup of coffee and latte.

I signed up for their book club in 2021 as a gift to my wife. She recently asked me to cancel and found that I was unable to log into their site using any of my email addresses so I contacted them by email on May 15th requesting the cancellation. On the 17th, they asked which service it was for and I let them know 3 minutes after their request. It took another 5 days to process the cancellation and I was charged for another month since it was not handled in a timely enough manner. I did leave a voicemail asking that they reach out and process a refund since my request was made to cancel before my charge date. Will amend or remove review depending on their response.
