Great energy. Good books and good beers. They also have some cool features vents. Top notch. The place is simply BEAUTIFUL and a very important fixture! Resuscitative to the spirit. Love Sankofa Books and Cafe. Love it.
It's all about Black studies and REAL ancient knowledge. Our African neighbors have made a comforting setting for morning coffee, midday lunching with friends or strangers. They say theirs music events in the evening but I have yet to get there. I'm around the corner with my music workshops.
Get there and enjoy.
This place makes the BEST almond milk lattes like HOLY COW.
It was great, a great variety of books as well as beautiful jewelry and of course food and coffee. Loved it.
There happened to be a children's book reading when I visited for a quick bite. The author of the book presented two of her books and danced with the kids. The atmosphere was very grounded and encouraging.These types of happenings aren't rare for Sankofa and I appreciate it every time. This place is community-oriented, socially conscious, and makes a darn good chai latte. I thoroughly enjoy browsing the book shelves and have a hard time leaving without at least one new read.
