It depends on what you are looking for to say if this bookstore is good or not, they didn't have what I was looking for, travel books, there coffee wasn't bad though, 1.50 for a large coffee.

Spent half a rainy day in the city checking out their amazing selection of decently priced (sometimes hard to find) feminist books! I wish there were more places just like this one.
