7. Cafe con Libros, Crown Heights

Some of the coziest coffee shops are found in bookstores! For book lovers and coffee aficionados, Crown Height’s recently opened Cafe Con Libros is a must-visit. The feminist bookstore, founded by Kalima DeSuze, is a community-oriented space, which provides unique programming like book clubs, book fairs, prison outreach, and more.
