Description
The space functions as a bookshop, cafe, and event venue, framed by high ceilings, creaky wooden floors, and soft strung lights. Shelves hold reasonably priced titles across multiple genres, complemented by a selection of clothing upstairs and an in-house counter for drinks. The shop accepts book donations and served as a setting when Taylor Swift filmed part of her "All Too Well" short film here. All profits fund Housing Works to support people living with HIV/AIDS and experiencing homelessness.
