Highlighting BIPOC & BIPOC LGBTQIA+ authors... celebrating the richness of our stories.
Cuentos = Stories Café =Coffee
Cuentos y Café is a local multicultural, Latina woman owned, independent book space that operates as a pop up and online bookstore. We offer carefully curated new and used books that highlight BIPOC and BIPOC LGBTQA+ authors, celebrating the richness of diverse cultures and experiences through our stories.
As a BIPOC centered bookstore, Cuentos y Café is committed to creating a safe and welcoming space where readers can find an assortment of books across genres that include small independent presses, classics, multilingual books, and works by emerging authors.
At Cuentos y Café, we believe that our stories deserve more than one table, one month out of the year.
The Dream
Cuentos y Café BIPOC Bookstore was born out of the deep desire to have a space where BIPOC stories could be at the center of the conversation. Frustrated at having to dig around to find stories that celebrated diverse experiences and not seeing enough of themselves reflected on the shelves of mainstream bookstores, Cristina and Tamara, two Latina women decided to turn their dream of owning a bookstore into a reality. Together they are working to create a platform where stories written by amazing and talented BIPOC storytellers can shine, for more than just one month out of the year. While the ultimate goal is to have a brick and mortar location with a coffee shop and a community space, for now, these ladies are excited to offer Cuentos y Café as a popup and online bookstore.
