Best bookshop for chefs, foodies and photographers.

Absolutely the best culinary-related bookstore in NY and perhaps the US. Incredibly knowledgeable team, great experience will return regularly. Both current releases but also an encyclopedic history of amazing books all in one place. Utterly delightful.

The most phenomenal cook book store I’ve ever visited. Must stop for any home or professional chef.

The name says it all. Wonderful little bookstore specializing in all things food! After searching several other places for anything written by Ludwig Bemelmans and coming up empty handed, Kitchen Arts and Letters had exactly what I needed. Any book lover will appreciate this spot.

Super knowledge staff that can help you navigate a huge selection of popular and rare cooking, food, and cocktail books!

Fantastic selection, and incrediblySweet and helpful staff!

This has been a favorite bookstore - my travel, cooking, and food-loving family frequented this bookstore while I was growing up - since I was a very small child. It’s just the same as ever! A gem, with so much personality and warmth and knowledge. A very special place.

Amazing place!! Its a small store with every cook book you can imagine, novels related to gastronomy and wines, modern cuisine techniques, etcPeople working there were super nice and helped us a lot while searching for books.

Loved it! A cornucopia of cookbooks and food related literature!

Always love their selection!!

If you are a cook, a foodie, or are looking for a gift for someone who is this is your place. A wide array of books about food not just cookbooks but bios, theory, philosophy...Take your time to look around. Its jam packed. If you are looking for something particular they can be very helpful.This place is a legend. Customers like Julia Child and James Beard were there early on. If you have any interest in food beyond sustenance go out of your way to visit this shop.

An amazing place to explore if you love anything having to do with food, wine, beer, restaurants, and the history of all those things. Whats your pleasure? Books on Grilling, French cuisine, Asian, deserts, out of print classics? They ship all over the world, and the staff is very knowledgeable.New York Citys preeminent locale for the foodie in your family.

I was in the store last week. Bonnie was gracious and kind as I posed a number of questions. Her selection is amazing. In addition to the great selection, Bonnie is part of a larger community of passionate purveyors of books and happily gave us a list of other local book sellers. Bonnie and her shop set the standard for the rest of NYC--world class selection and friendly, genuine service. Whether you are from uptown or across the world, you wont regret a stop and perusal at Bonnies.

For restaurant kitchen folk this place is heaven when it comes to books. Not always the best price but at least you can flip through them and decide if you want to buy the book. Also if youre diligent you will find steals and deals. The owner is a lovely person, hospitality people will without a doubt enjoy conversing with him or any of the staff.

This place is interesting as there is a lot of cookbooks. Interesting to see different cuisines in different styles on the shelves. The people who work there know their books and know all the books and the subject matter. Interesting to see some books that are in other languages and those books containing pictures that are gorgeous and beautiful. Definitely a place to get cookbooks.

This is one of my favorite places in the world. If you love any kind of food related literature this is the place to go. Everything from books to manuals to magazines to original advertisements. Its a small store but the owner is usually there and is incredibly well versed so if they dont have something chances are he either can get it or tell you where to look.

The best place to buy cookbooks in NYC. Vast selection. Knowledgeable staff. A wonderful independent shop.

I came here with my wife who works in a restaurant, and we ended up spending 30 minutes browsing through the shelves. It is impressive the quantity of good books they carry about food and cooking. Its a great place if you work in the culinary industry, are passionate about it or youre looking for a gift for someone.

If you are a cook or have one in the family this is the place to go for books. From the mainstream to the niche, the vintage and contemporary

Feeding the foodies of the works with so much passion. Join in - we all belong!

This is my happy place - a bit of heaven for food and drink geeks!Nowhere else will the absolute novice and industry royalty receive equally personal, attentive service and walk away feeling seen and heard AND with the perfect books.

You can find every and any book for food and wine pairings! Awesome place!

A gem of a place to find any food related info

They have an immense selection, it was like a kid in a candy store.

Fantastic range of books — wished the space was a little bigger!

The best food specialized bookstore Ive ever seen!!! Ask questions: people there are really knowledgeable.

Books on food I didn’t even know existed, what a gem. It’s s Greco from downtown but it’s worth it, plus it’s near the Guggenheim so kill two birds etc.

Beatiful place full of wonderful books.

Still the best there is.

Loved it, got lost a while in there and lost a lot of money there too haha

Cook books around the world ... make sure ask the right question then youll get what youve been looking for

Extensive collection and outstandingly knowledgeable people

The biggest selection of books available to any book lover!

Great bookstore for cookbooks!

AMAZING!

Like it much

The only downside to this place is how many hundreds of dollars I feel compelled to spend here (and have spent here) because of the great selection. Bonus: its dog friendly, the people who work there are very nice and always give my dog a treat, and theyre very sweet with my human child as well.

It is a bookstore dedicated to food and drink, from those old stores, small, a little crowded, without much affect, but with an owner who knows exactly where each title is, the kind that you can only see in the movies today. Opened in 1983, it is reduced only in space, there are more than 12 thousand titles, from commercial recipe books to historical ones, in addition to the “sections” (if we call the shelves without any indication) dedicated to confectionery, wine and cocktail. It has releases from all over the world and titles already sold out, rarities and specialized magazines. Chef Julia Child and James Beard, author of cookbooks, are some of the names that have been there. And even today, it is possible to run into some chef from the city or passing through in search of a lost title. [ESTADÃO]

Small place but with an infinite variety of books. They have the best, from the great classics to the modern ones. If you want to find a specific cookbook or patisseries, this is definitely the place. Very kind and willing to help.
