Café con Libros is an intersectional feminist bookstore and coffee shop in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Founded by Kalima DeSuze with her husband Ryan Cameron, the shop describes itself as Afro-Latine, woman- and veteran-owned, and it opened on Prospect Place in early 2018.
The store pairs books with coffee, with a focus on titles by and about women and people of color. Readers can browse fiction, nonfiction and children's books in a small, welcoming space and stay for a cup of coffee. From the start the shop set out to host a book club, children's and young adult book fairs, prison outreach and work by local artists.
Café con Libros also takes bulk book orders and hosts events. The shop is open daily, with weekday hours from 10am to 2pm and weekend hours from 10am to 5pm, and it is an easy stop for neighbors and visitors to Crown Heights. Questions, bulk orders and event requests can be sent to the shop's dedicated email inboxes listed on its website.
