Good, eclectic selection. You can trade books in for store credit, but you don't get full or partial price for it. They also sell beer . It's a pretty hole in the wall place on a residential street.

Molasses is my favorite daytime work place surrounded by second hand books for sale in Bushwick. Come for a filter coffee or grab a beer or a glass of wine . Read, work, chill , enjoy!

Katie Eytch

Go for the dollar book bins!! You'll always find something good and then you can grab a quick beer or really scour the books inside while drinking a few quality brews.

Michael Avila

Molasses Books is great! Good, large book selections . Comfortable w/ room and nice counter. Decent coffee - thank goodness =) And even alcohol if you're in the mood. Perfect for their event nights.

David Guerrieri

Great for books , people, coffee , writing, reading! It’s a place I’d imagine Fitzgerald or Hemingway hanging out while nursing a hangover, love this place????????

Salaş ortam, kitaplar, güzel müzik iyi ama bi barista işe alsalar iyi olurmuş. / Cozy place, books , nice music but there is not any barista. They don’t know make a flat white or good coffe .

Cute little place where you can read while you have beer or wine but be careful - you'll have to carry those books all the way home so don't get carried away!

Carrigan Denny-Brown

every bookstore should be like this. unpretentious and cozy , you can hunker down with a book and a coffee or beer while also enjoying good music .

Lower East Craft

A bookstore that has a bar or a bar that sells books ? We're not sure but the ambiance is great, the owner is friendly and they usually have some good craft beer bottles available.

Ross Goodwin

My new favorite bookstore . Cheap used books , eclectic semi-curated selection, good coffee . Also, it's a bar .

$5 Stiegl's!! Quite possibly the best used bookstore . Drinking and book shopping at the same time is hard to beat.

Cozy book store . Bar seating & cafe . Niche collection of used books

Super cute place with lots of interesting books . Be aware cafe seating is limited and no wifi at night.
