A welcoming Brooklyn bookstore and natural wine lounge centered on Black queer literature, conversation, and community.
About
Shelves of Black queer literature and soft couches fill both floors of this bookstore named after the owner's grandmother, Gladys. Green trim frames the coffee counter, and family photographs hang alongside portraits of historic Black authors. Visitors drop in during the afternoon for coffee, tea, and lesbian novels. Downstairs, the room shifts into a natural wine lounge that opens out onto a leafy backyard. Evenings bring an intergenerational crowd together for poetry readings, writing workshops, and book discussions. Neighbors sit with personal pizzas, chat over chilled orange wine, or curl up with a paperback.
