For book and wine lovers alike, you’ll find your new favorite haunt on Mercer Street in SoHo. Bibliotheque, self-proclaimed as a bookstore and cafe by day and a wine bar by night, has attracted a loyal crowd with its charming ambiance and literary theme where guests can unwind amidst shelves of books and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. From its cozy seating arrangements to its eclectic menu offerings, Bibliotheque exudes an inviting charm that makes it a beloved spot for both locals and tourists.
Father and son duo, AJ and Andrew Jacono, combined their interests in wine and books to open this multifaceted space in December 2023. With a little help from a short social media post that went viral, Bibliotheque has become one of the premier spots to relax, work, and sip on coffee or wine (depending on the time of day you visit) in downtown Manhattan. Whether you’re seeking a quiet corner to delve into a novel or a lively spot to catch up with friends over drinks, Bibliotheque offers the perfect setting for both solitude and socializing.
At Bibliotheque, the culinary experience is top-notch and has been thoughtfully chosen to pair with the curated selection of modern and literary classics that surround you. The menu has an array of options for morning and evening service, from artisanal pastries and hearty sandwiches to beer and fine wines. Additionally, Conservas Service has been recently added to their evening menu that already boasts small bites such as Spanish Tortilla Egg Muffins and cheese and charcuterie selections.
Beyond its culinary offerings, Bibliotheque also hosts a variety of events and gatherings. From author readings to educational wine gatherings, there’s always something intriguing happening for patrons to experience.
