This is a relaxed place with something almost unbelievable in Flushing — polite staff that aren’t rushing to have buy something and then leave, or treat you like garbage if you don’t buy something or enough for their liking. The café is super small but looks clean and the bookstore itself is clean and has a somewhat varied selection of Chinese books, especially those related to politics and history, which I am interested in. Overall, really liked the place because even the manager is super-polite and nice.

Wonderful place to sit and read! Fun selection of teas and coffee made to order. No rush to leave, this little gem is a great place to sit for hours, but they don’t have very long hours. The people staffing there are the nicest volunteers, but they don’t always speak English. Come with someone who speaks Mandarin. They sell all sorts of books on Buddhism and lots of vegetarian instant foods, and a display of great little food containers and portable chopsticks and fork/spoons. There is soothing light Buddhist music in the background, so you can listen to it or zone out for a bit. It’s a great place to get some quiet time! The tea and coffee have suggested donation.
