About
Located in the vibrant heart of Neukölln, She Said Buchladen is a must-visit destination on any queer gay map of Berlin. This isn't just a bookstore; it is a meticulously curated sanctuary dedicated to elevating the voices of female and queer authors. Whether you are searching for intersectional feminist theory, captivating queer fiction, or colorful children’s books that challenge the status quo, She Said offers a diverse treasure trove in both German and English. The space itself is a masterpiece of minimalist design—bright, curved, and welcoming, with custom ceramic shelves that make every book spine pop. Beyond the shelves, She Said doubles as a premier queer-friendly cafe. It’s the perfect spot for LGBTQ+ travelers and locals to disconnect (note: it’s a laptop-free zone!) and savor a specialty coffee paired with one of their legendary cinnamon buns. From hosting 'She Said Tuesdays' and community book clubs to providing a 'Quiet Shopping Hour' for neurodiverse guests, this venue embodies the inclusive spirit of Berlin. While the focus is on women and queer perspectives, all are welcome to browse, learn, and contribute to the discourse. For gay men and the wider LGBTQ+ community looking for culture beyond the club scene, She Said Buchladen is an essential stop for inspiration and excellent caffeine.
