About Liz's Book Bar

Liz's Book Bar opened in summer 2024 on Smith Street from novelist Maura Cheeks, combining a curated independent bookstore, a coffee bar, and a wine bar into a single Carroll Gardens space. The bookstore side leans literary (fiction, essays, poetry, with attention paid to authors of color) and the coffee program runs on Black Acres Roastery beans with tea from SerendipiTea and pastries from Bien Cuit. The space is warm, intentionally designed for sit-and-stay sessions (it's a bookstore first, after all), and transitions seamlessly from morning coffee to evening wine and small-plates service. Black-owned and quickly established as one of the cultural anchors of the Carroll Gardens dining and reading scene. A genuinely distinctive addition to the neighborhood.
