Marianne Azar:

"I adore this place's atmosphere. I either have a great time alone or with a friend, but what I live is that many times I have great conversations with other creative types at the bar. The staff are very friendly, they even kept my friends huge backpack with them for half the day. I like their translation nights and the fact that they have some free books. All in all a great place to go and talk to a friend in a calmer atmosphere, go write, or go and talk to new people. Wish there were more places like molasses"

"Few things in this life get me off like a cozy independent book store. I romanticize tf out of places like Molasses Books. I felt like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, or William S. Burroughs when I was in here. It made me want to be in a white button down with the sleeves rolled up, tucked into some pinstripe suit pants, with some trendy glasses on while I rip away at a typewriter between puffs of a cigarette. Instead I was in short shorts and a plain white T smh. Shelves of thoroughly used books engulf the walls, smooth jazz plays subtly in the background, as the young patrons of Bushwick have intimate conversations. A lot of passion in here. A lot of freedom. I got an americano because I'm beast, and the espresso was quality. I knew I was in good hands when one of the Bushwick creatives was making it. Not much else I need in this life than a cozy book store and good espresso... well a couple hundred million would be nice too. Ig @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews"

"A good tucked away corner bookstore where you can sometimes find a lucky bestseller for a fair price, or a new book find you wouldn’t have thought to pick up before. Multiple corners to set up and work on your laptops or read a book. Good ambiance, feels like a nice spot to get work done."

"This combination bookstore, café, and bar leans a little more towards the latter. A great deal of space is taken up by the bar, so there aren't many seats or much standing space. They offer a mix of new and used books spanning literature and fiction, gender studies, art, children's books, zines, and more. The selection is a bit limited to make for a truly satisfying browsing experience, and the café menu is a bit limited to make for an exceptional coffee break, so the experience languishes somewhere in the middle for me. The atmosphere is cozy though, and I appreciate the amount of space dedicated to poetry alone. Note that laptops are not allowed after 8pm."
