Topos Too

This Ridgewood spot pairs its bookshelves with a cafe setup that deliberately pushes back against the laptop-working crowd. Visitors can browse a curated selection, including a Spanish-language section, in a simple, soothing environment. While the coffee and chai lattes are well-regarded, the venue makes a point of not offering Wi-Fi or workspace accommodations. This intentional lack of connectivity aims to focus attention on the printed word, though it divides visitors—some embrace the unplugged atmosphere, while others find the anti-work stance frustrating or the service cold.
