“Beautiful ambiance. Very cutesy decor. Nice bar downstairs and it has a backyard. Black woman owned bookstore and bar in Bedstuy ! Staff were super nice and friendly. Would love to visit again in warmer months. My only complaints are 1. I sat downstairs at the bar for 30 minutes without service. Went back upstairs and was told by the one worker upstairs that I need to order my drink with him, pay for It there, then give him a few minutes to come downstairs to serve me. Very confusing but I think that was based on short staffing issue because later on, there was a bartender downstairs at the actual bar.
2. a glass of wine cost about $17 and it’s barely half a glass ? seems overpriced to me. Otherwise this is a dope spot.”
“I live one block from this iconic establishment is so incredibly special and unique and just feels like old New York and certainly is an icon and a staple here in the Williamsburg area. The solution books is truly overwhelming from classic books to fashion to coffee table to not to mention the incredible stationary cards and pins. The staff is so lovely and it’s great location and just always consistent. Great service. I have here all the time they have the best coffee table books ever for the perfect gift to bring to a hose for their party. I love it so much. It’s one of the last remaining actual genuine, authentic Williamsburg establishments.”
“This local bookstore has become my ultimate comfort place throughout my 4+ years living in Queens. On a beautiful day, I’ll even walk all the way to Kew and Willow from Forest Hills. The staff is incredibly warm and inviting — always excited to provide a great reading recommendation or to have a chat. The curation of titles is excellent and it truly has a community-oriented feel. I wish my work schedule gave me more flexibility to go to EVEN MORE of the events (and when it does I’ll be there!), but the ones I have gone to are beautifully organized and a much needed safe space in these crazy times we’re living in. I’ll go out of my way to not only recommend this shop, but to pre-order my favorite titles there so I can support Kew and Willow in every way possible.
I feel so incredibly lucky to have a local bookstore like Kew and Willow that I come back to time and time again — where I can feel a sense of quiet joy and comfort. I will never stop going and I can’t recommend enough for all fellow book lovers to come through their doors.
Thank you to the Kew and Willow team for bringing magic. x”
“It’s actually insane how perfect this store is. It has a phenomenal assortment of books with a creative layout by subgenre. Want splatterpunk? Horror romance? Literary? They’ve got sections for it! The dim lighting and dark paint makes the space feel incredibly cozy and comforting, in an eerie haunted house way. Feeling too claustrophobic? They have a backyard with plentiful seating! There’s a restroom, always clean, with free tampons. There is a cafe with an excellent drinks menu and local baked goods, and wine and beer! The non book merch is soooo cute; it’s a struggle not to drop hundreds of dollars here. Pins, cards, stickers, jewelry, socks, tees, etc. The staff are all so warm and welcoming too. And the open hours are long, with lots of cool events in the evenings! Genuinely this is my favorite business in all of Brooklyn.”

“Extremely knowledgeable in seforim, and extremely patient. Taking the time to show me where the exact books I was looking for were located. Oh and the new store is HUGE!!!!”
“Stumbled into this place while visiting town. It was so cute and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They had a ton of art, architecture, and coffee table books. I snagged a pile of books for a great price.”
“An amazing old style real book store! They have a huge selection of used books and new best sellers arrive every day. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and offer excellent choices. I read 2 to 3 books a week and absolutely love this store. There is nothing like turning the pages of a real book!”
“One of my favorite bookstores in NYC. Lots of great fiction, graphic novels, social justice oriented books, books by POC authors, and liberatory content, including People’s History posters and zines. I adore the vibe of this bookstore and the people who work here are warm, kind, and great at recommending perfect books. A staple Bed-Stuy establishment that represents the community in many ways. Please let this bookstore stay in our community for a long time ?”
“Skip Amazon and come here instead! I walked past this shop and was immediately drawn in by its warm, soulful vibe. The staff is incredibly kind, and they have a beautiful selection of crystals, sound bowls, and self-growth books. I ended up buying Himalayan salt candle holders that beat Amazon's prices and quality by a mile.
Definitely stop in if you want to add some calm, meaningful energy to your space.”
“I ordered a book online. The customer service once I placed my order was top notch. I received notifications on each step and all links for tracking worked perfectly. The part I didn’t expect was the care surrounding packaging for transport. The packaging told me EVERYTHING I needed to know about Nicholas Brooklyn. If this type of packaging doesn’t show you they care about books… I really don’t know what else does. This shows they love books just as much as the person ordering. ??????”
“Great selection of classic adult and children books. Great number of art books too. Very nice wrapping service during the holidays. The postcard selection could be better but overall it's a lovely store.”
“Such an adorable local graphic novel store that has an amazing catalog of books, zines, art from local and classic artists. Such a gem of a place, come support this awesome local bookstore.”
“The Spanish classes are so wonderful! I've found the instructors to be patient, kind, and amazing at encouraging students to speak up and learn in class. I've only take the virtual courses so far, which have been really engaging despite taking place online (where it may feel tough to speak up). All of the students were there to learn, which made class super fun and interesting. Thank you for the amazing TV, music, and movie recs too!”
“It is a good place to go to check ones clothing for Shatnez as well as many different sefarim and siddurim. It is a good place to get your Jewish books for yeshiva.”
“Like If a treehouse turned into a dreamy store pulling stars from the sky, weaving art from clouds, pressed flowers, and glittery aquarium soil, selling trinkets, ephemera, & zines made by the community”
“Great Judaica store with a beautiful product selection and amazing service. Beyond our household needs, we’ve ordered in bulk for simchas and Etty was very helpful guiding us to make the best selections. Highly recommend”
“Awesomeness at its best! It’s a lovely place to immerse yourself into new favourite writers! 💜 The staff is very friendly and welcoming! 💞”
“This independent Black owned and Black author focused bookshop and cultural center is amazing. Come to check out a poet's book launch and stay to brouse the meticulously curated collection of books. You won't be disappointed.”
“I visited this bookstore by chance on a trip back to New York and loved it! Great selection, really friendly helpful staff, just all around ideal bookstore experience!”
“Great shop with a friendly staff and a nice selection of comics, collectibles, and figures. The store is organized, welcoming, and always worth stopping into. Definitely recommend Royal Collectibles.”
“Ordered from their online store and received the package to my door in just a few days. Great prices and cordial service, most likely becoming my go-to seforim store. Thank you!”
“Superb shopping experience. Containing everything one needs to live a Torah life of Deveikus to Hashem. Competitive pricing keeps it so Hashem doesn't need to manifest open miracles for your Torah study. Godbless the good folk here. They are warm and welcoming like a Shabbos lunch cholent (obviously not a Thursday night Cholent as that is recently banned due to it's intrinsic evil). We should all aspire to be talmidei chachamim. Like these humble shop owners. Love you all! (Please give me a discount)”

“Absolutely love this bookstore and their ‘Blind Date with a Book’ idea — it makes such a unique and thoughtful gift. My girlfriend loves to read, and we’ve visited twice now. Both times, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and more than willing to help us find what we needed. You can really tell they care about creating a great experience. Definitely a place we’ll keep coming back to”
“This is the place that I come to for all my Judaica. And I find that when I compare the price of an item I want to buy with other places on Kingston Ave, they always have the lowest price. Plus they are the nicest people. I come here because the customer service is great. And they are super helpful. I always get my mezuzos checked here.The service is quick. The mezuzos are always ready when they say they will be ready. And the price is right.”
“Sometimes you don’t need endless choices or big shiny stores. Sometimes you just want something real.
This is one of those authentic local shops that truly deserves support. It’s a neighborhood staple with heart, character, and a genuine purpose behind it. You can feel that this place matters — not just for business, but for the community.
And if you’re shopping for kids? You’re in the right place. They have more than enough toys to make little faces light up.
Highly recommended if you value authenticity over hype and want your purchase to actually mean something.”
“this place is, um, how shall I say it… frickin’ awesome sauce? their angela davis section is totally amazeballs. there’s a writer there named ursula le guin lol???? i WILL be back after i finish watching the new DUNE movie because sometimes the books ARE better than the movie!!!! except that one!!!!!!”

“Ray was very nice. They had a interesting list of books in the business and economics section on companies and founders from the past that blew me away. A lot of these books you just can't find.”
